“…The Ophiopogoneae includes Ophiopogon Meisn., Liriope Lour., and Peliosanthes Andrews, usually characterized with a sympodial rhizome, fruits dehisced at an early stage, seeds with sarcotesta, and basic chromosome number of x = 18 (Dahlgren et al, 1985). Molecular phylogenetic analyses strongly supported the monophyly of Ophiopogoneae within Nolinoideae (Kim et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2014;Wang and Yang, 2018). The tribe Convallarieae was expanded to include Aspidistreae (Conran and Tamura, 1998;Yamashita and Tamura, 2000b;Kim et al, 2010).…”

“…The Ophiopogoneae was treated as a well monotypic member of Convallarieae s.s., but its phylogenetic relationship to the other herbaceous tribes has long been in uncertainty within the traditional Convallariaceae ( Rudall et al, 2000 ; Yamashita and Tamura, 2000b ; Kim et al, 2010 ; Wang and Yang, 2018 ). In our analyses, Ophiopogoneae is represented by Liriope platyphylla , together with Theropogon , which is suggested to be sister to Convallarieae + Polygonateae ( Figure 2 ).…”

The Deep Evolutionary Relationships of the Morphologically Heterogeneous Nolinoideae (Asparagaceae) Revealed by Transcriptome Data

The subfamily Nolinoideae of Asparagaceae is an extremely morphologically heterogeneous group, which is comprised of seven lineages, formerly known as Eriospermaceae, Polygonateae, Ophiopogoneae, Convallarieae, Ruscaceae s.s., Dracaenaceae, and Nolinaceae from different families or even orders. Their drastically divergent morphologies and low level of molecular resolution have hindered our understanding on their evolutionary history. To resolve reliable and clear phylogenetic relationships of the Nolinoideae, a phylogenetic study was conducted based on transcriptomic sequencing of 15 species representing all the seven lineages. A dataset containing up to 2,850,331 sites across 2,126 genes was analyzed using both concatenated and coalescent methods. Except for Eriospermum as outgroup, the transcriptomic data strongly resolved the remaining six lineages into two groups, one is a paraphyletic grade including the woody lineages of dracaenoids, ruscoids, and nolinoids and a monophyletic herbaceous clade. Within the herbaceous group, the Ophiopogoneae + Theropogon is sister to a clade that is composed of Convallarieae and the monophyletic Polygonateae. Our work provides a first robust deep relationship of the highly heterogeneous Nolinoideae and paves the way for further investigations of its complex evolution.

Photosynthetic performance and growth responses of Liriope muscari (Decne.) L.H. Bailey (Asparagaceae) planted within poplar forests having different canopy densities

Background: Liriope muscari (Decne.) L.H. Bailey is a valuable horticultural and medicinal plant that grows under a range of light intensities, from high to low, in the understories of shrubs. To understand how this species adapts to these various environments, we selected two groups of lilyturf growing under poplar trees at two different spacings. Each group was divided into three types, open field, forest edge and shaded forest with high, medium and low irradiance levels, respectively, and then we examined their photosynthetic characteristics, physiology and biomasses. Results: Light saturation point, light compensation point and in situ net photosynthetic rate (P N) were highest in lilyturf growing under high light. In contrast, lilyturf growing under low light had a higher apparent quantum yield and Chl a and b contents, indicating that they adapted to low light. Although the leaves of lilyturf growing under low light were small, their root tubers were heavier. Conclusions: The research demonstrates the eco-physiological basis of lilyturf's shade adaptation mechanism as indicated by photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll fluorescence, Chl a, Chl b and Car contents when grown under different irradiances. We believe that lilyturf is a shade-tolerant plant suitable for planting in undergrowth, but attention should be paid to the canopy density of the forest when interplanting. The findings presented here advance our understanding of the photosynthetic characteristics of understory plants and may assist in the optimization of irradiances in the future.
