Phylogeny and Disjunction in Roscoea (Zingiberaceae)

Abstract: A phylogenetic study of Roscoea (Zingiberaceae), a high-altitude genus of an otherwise tropical plant family, was undertaken using sequence data from the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA). Two species of Cautleya and two species of Curcuma were used as outgroups. This resulted in an aligned matrix of 436bp (ITS1, 203bp; ITS2, 233bp). Sequence divergence of ITS1 and ITS2 within the ingroup ranged from 0–13.9% and 0–7.6% respectively. The results suggest that Roscoea is mono… Show more

“…The Brahmaputra, known as the Yarlong Tsangpo in its upper reaches, also is a biogeographic barrier in other plant groups, e.g. in Roscoea (Ngamriabsakul et al 2000), Morinaceae (Bell et al 2003), and Pleione (Gravendeel et al 2005), as well as for elephants (Vidya et al 2005).…”

“…Fresh leaf samples were taken and kept in dry silica gel before DNA extraction. The modified protocol for DNA extraction followed our previous study (Ngamriabsakul et al, 2000). The QIAgen Dneasy kit (QIAGEN, 1997) with liquid nitrogen was also used, with few modifications, to give high quality total DNA.…”

“…The PCR reaction mix was prepared before aliquoting to each tube and adding template DNA as the last component. The components and the conditions of the PCR followed Ngamriabsakul et al (2000), but with primer volume decreased to 2µl instead of 5µl. No significant reduction in products was detected.…”

“…This particular eastwest split is seen in other Himalayan taxa. In Roscoea (Zingiberaceae), for example, one clade occurs to the east and another to the west of the so-called "Brahmaputra gap" (Ngamriabsakul et al 2000).…”
