“…Species of Lilieae dispersed in the temperate climatic regions of the northern hemisphere (Boufford, 1993;Chen et al, 2000;Kiani et al, 2017): Cardiocrinum species spread over east Asia (Ohara et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2016;Lu et al, 2020) and Notholirion species evolved as endemics in the Himalaya mountains (Li et al, , 2020. Lilium and Fritillaria species are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, and many Lilium species are densely distributed in east Asia (Gao et al, 2013;Gao, 2016, Gao et al, 2020;Givnish et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2018;Su et al, 2021), whereas species of Fritillaria are mainly distributed in central Asia and the Mediterranean region (Wang et al, 2009;Day et al, 2014;Mustafa and Abdul-Razaq, 2015;Mucciarelli et al, 2016). Many species of Lilieae are distributed mainly in the southern and south-eastern regions of the QTP (Wang et al, 2009;Gao et al, 2013;Li et al, 2020), consistent with the QTP being an intensive distribution center of Lilieae species (Chen et al, 2000;Gao and Gao, 2016;Huang et al, 2018;Li et al, 2020).…”

Tribe Lilieae, encompassing Lilium, Notholirion, Cardiocrinum, and Fritillaria, includes economically important crops with a horticultural and medicinal value. It is considered to be a core lineage of Liliaceae, but phylogenetic relationships within it, and the timing of the origin of individual clades, remain incompletely resolved. To address these issues, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of the tribe. We sequenced 45 Liliaceae plastomes and combined them with publicly available data (for a total of 139 plastomes) to explore the systematics, origin, divergence, and evolution of Lilieae. Our taxon sampling covers all ten sections of Lilium, all Cardiocrinum species, three Notholirion species, and major phylogenetic clades of Fritillaria. Our phylogenetic analysis confirms the monophyly of major sections/subgenera of Lilium and Fritillaria with strong support. We dated the origin of Lilieae to the Eocene, with genera and species radiations inferred to have occurred in the Miocene. The reconstruction of the ancestral area implies that Lilieae may have originated from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP): the Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains and uplifting of the QTP likely promoted divergence within the tribe. Ancestral-state reconstructions of the bulb component number (including bulblets and scales) show a strong correlation with the genus-level phylogenetic diversity in Lilieae. They also predict that the most recent common ancestor of Lilieae had bulbs with numerous bulblets. Based on these observations, we predicted that climatic oscillations associated with the QTP uplift played an important role in the evolution of the Lilieae bulb. Our findings provide a well-supported picture of evolutionary relationships and a useful framework for understanding the pathway of bulb evolution within Lilieae, contributing to a better understanding of the evolutionary history of lilies.

Iran supports a great share of biodiversity and floristic endemism for Fritillaria spp. (Liliaceae): A review

et al. 2017

Iran supports a great share of exotic and/or endemic plant genera and species. The genus Fritillaria (Liliaceae) is a precious part of this botanical richness with 19 species, of which 10 are endemic to the country. However, signs are mounting that the country is truly at a crossroads when it comes to preservation of this national wealth. In this regard, an effective conservation strategy should thoroughly consider the classification of Fritillaria, as conservation practices are compromised by knowledge gaps in systematics and taxonomy. As published studies on Fritillaria in Iran have been sporadic and limited in scope, the aim of this review is to provide information necessary to help bridge these information gaps. Our objective is to facilitate increased understanding of the geographic, taxonomic, cytogenetic and phylogenetic status of Iranian Fritillaria, which is vital to meeting the goal of sustainable conservation of the genus in Iran and neighboring areas.

“…It is distributed in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, mainly in Central Asia, the Mediterranean region and North America 3 . The genus Fritillaria is characterized by fleshy bulbs with farinaceous scales, petiolate basal leaves, sessile cauline leaves, bisexual and usually nodding flowers, perigone campanulate with segments erect in the distal part, and loculicidal capsules with seeds that are usually winged 2 – 4 . Members of the Fritillaria , as one of the most desired ornamental plants, have great agronomic and economic importance.…”

The genus Fritillaria comprises approximately 130 perennial herbaceous species. In the Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China, the bulbs of 11 Fritillaria species are used in Chinese herbal medicines. However, the traditional methods of morphological classification cannot accurately identify closely related species of Fritillaria. Previous studies have attempted to identify these species with universal molecular markers, but insufficient phylogenetic signal was available. In this study, the complete chloroplast genomes of eight Fritillaria species were compared. The length of the eight Fritillaria chloroplast genomes ranges from 151,009 bp to 152,224 bp. A total of 136 SSR loci were identified, including 124 polymorphic SSR loci. For large repeat sequences, 108 repeat loci and four types of repeats were observed. Ten highly variable regions were identified as potential molecular markers. These SSRs, large repeat sequences and highly variable regions provide important information for the development of genetic markers and DNA fingerprints. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the topological structures of all data sets (except the IR regions) were in complete agreement and well resolved. Overall, this study provides comprehensive chloroplast genomic resources, which will be valuable for future studies of evolution and species identification in Fritillaria.
