A phylogenetic analysis of Hyoscyamus L. (Solanaceae) species from Iran based on ITS and trnL-F sequence data
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
A phylogeny of Hyoscyamus L. (Solanaceae) that represents two different subgenera (i.e Hyoscyamus subgen. Dendrotrichon SchÖnbeck-Temesy and Hyoscyamus subgen. Hyoscyamus) based on ITS and trnL-F sequence data were studied. In this study five species of Hyoscyamus were Iran endemic. ITS and trnL-F sequence data for 18 species of this genus from Iran were studied. In addition we used 8 ITS sequence data and 13 trnL-F sequence data from genbank for another taxa in Solanaceae family. For phylogenetic analysis were used Bayesian and Maximum parsimony methods. Parsimony analyses of the ITS and trnL-F regions formed a dendrogram with strong bootstrap (ca.≥70%) that showed Hyoscyamus is a monophyletic group. In this study four synonymous species (H.insanus Stocks, H.rosularis SchÖnbeck-Temesy, H.orthocarpus SchÖnbeck-Temesy, H.nutans SchÖnbeck-Temesy) were stand in one clade and two similisar species H.bornmulleri Khatamsaz and H.tenuicaulis SchÖnbeck-Temesy constituted one clade. Also two species H.senecionis Willd and H.pusillus L. were formed one clade in trnL-F and combined analyses.

Natural preservative from the liquid smoke of ebony wood as anti-subterranean termites (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren)
Chemicals have been used as wood preservatives because they prevent the attack of termites and fungi. However, since these chemicals can harm the environment and humans, their use is limited. This study introduces a natu...
