Abstract

BioOne sees sustainable scholarly publishing as an inherently collaborative enterprise connecting authors, nonprofit publishers, academic institutions, research libraries, and research funders in the common goal of maximizing access to critical research. BioOne (www.bioone.org) is a nonprofit, online aggregation of core research in the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences. BioOne provides a sustainable online platform for over 170 journals and books published by nonprofit societies, associations, museums, institutions, and presses.Your use of this PDF, the BioOne Web site, and all posted and associated content indicates your acceptance of BioOne's Terms of Use, available at www.bioone.org/page/terms_of_use.Usage of BioOne content is strictly limited to personal, educational, and non-commercial use.

First molecular studies sampled only a small fraction of the genera assigned to the Linderniaceae, but later Lindernia was shown to be non-monophyletic. here we used a plastid trnK/matK sequence dataset to get further insights into the relationships within Linderniaceae. the genus Lindernia as accepted to date is shown to be polyphyletic. Stemodiopsis is found to be sister to the remaining Linderniaceae, and the genera Psammetes and Bryodes are found to be nested in a Lindernia s.str. clade. We present a taxonomic framework, taking account of the phylogenetic relationships in the family, and a first key to the genera. the genera

Desiccation Tolerance Evolved through Gene Duplication and Network Rewiring in Lindernia

“…Lindernia brevidens is unusual in that it displays desiccation tolerance despite an endemic habitat in the montane rainforests of eastern Africa that never experience seasonal drying (Phillips et al, 2008). Desiccation tolerance is likely an ancestral trait in this group (Fischer et al, 2013) and was retained in L. brevidens before its radiation to the tropical rainforest. Lindernia is paraphyletic (Fischer et al, 2013), and species outside of the clade containing Craterostigma and L. brevidens, such as Lindernia subracemosa, are desiccation sensitive.…”

Occurrence of Lindernia dubia in the Ipoly valley (Hungary and Slovakia)

“…Th e recently outlined Linderniaceae are a monophyletic group that has emerged in the course of the disintegration of the Scrophulariaceae in the past years (Rahmanzadeh et al 2005, Fischer et al 2013. Lindernia dubia [syn.…”

A new species of the genus Vandellia (Linderniaceae) from Thailand

“…Later, Pennell (1935) merged Bonnaya Link & Otto (1820: 25), Ilysanthes Rafinesque (1820: 13) and Vandellia P.Browne ex Linnaeus (1767: 12) in Lindernia. However, in recent phylogenetic analyses based on molecular sequences (Fischer et al 2013), Lindernia s.l. was divided into 6 genera viz.…”
