Note that the boundaries of these Centres of Endemism are only intended to be indicative; further research is required to more accurately delimit these centres. The two montane Centres (Chimanimani-Nyanga and Mulanje-Namuli-Ribaue) are drawn as continuous blocks for clarity, but in reality they are a discontinuous series of peaks.

Data from: Can physiographic regions substitute for genetically-determined conservation units? A case study with the threatened plant, Silene spaldingii
Protecting genetic diversity throughout the range of a species is important for conservation, as doing so provides for long-term evolutionary potential and persistence under a changing environment. Conservation of diversity at the intraspecific level requires identification of all genetically distinct population segments within species; i.e., conservation units (CUs). Silene spaldingii occurs in grasslands of the Columbia Plateau region of western North America and is listed as threatened under the Federal Endangered Species Act. The recovery plan identified five physiographic regions across the range of the species to use as surrogates for genetic CUs. We collected leaf samples from an average of 26 plants from each of 19 of the largest populations across all five physiographic regions and used variable microsatellite and chloroplast DNA markers to determine how genetic variation is distributed across the range of the species and how well physiographic regions reflect population structure within this species. Results of several multivariate analyses clustered our samples into four genetic groups which did not correspond well with the physiographic regions. We observed little genetic differentiation among populations in the main range of the species which encompasses nearly all of four contiguous physiographic regions. However, three other distinct genetic groups were identified: two in the disjunct northeast corner and one at the southeast edge of the main range. Modification of the CUs to reflect the genetic groups rather than the physiographic regions would result in CUs which better reflect historical patterns of population structure. Moreover, use of the genetic units to inform translocation and genetic rescue efforts could improve our ability to mimic natural patterns of gene flow. Our results suggest that physiographic regions may not always be an accurate reflection of population structure for threatened or endangered species.
Data from: Conserved gene expression programs in developing roots from diverse plants
The molecular basis for the origin and diversification of morphological adaptations is a central issue in evolutionary developmental biology. Here, we defined temporal transcript accumulation in developing roots from seven vascular plants, permitting a genome-wide comparative analysis of the molecular programs used by a single organ across diverse species. The resulting gene expression maps uncover significant similarity in the genes employed in roots and their developmental expression profiles. The detailed analysis of a subset of 133 genes known to be associated with root development in Arabidopsis thaliana indicates that most of these are used in all plant species. Strikingly, this was also true for root development in a lycophyte (Selaginella moellendorffii), which forms morphologically different roots and is thought to have evolved roots independently. Thus, despite vast differences in size and anatomy of roots from diverse plants, the basic molecular mechanisms employed during root formation appear to be conserved. This suggests that roots evolved in the two major vascular plant lineages either by parallel recruitment of largely the same developmental program or by elaboration of an existing root program in the common ancestor of vascular plants.

Genetic diversity of Horsfieldia tetratepala (Myristicaceae), an endangered plant species with extremely small populations to China: implications for its conservation
<p>Genetic variation determines the evolutionary potential of a species and is vital for fully understanding the evolution of a species, as well as for developing optimal conservation strategies. <i>Horsfieldia tetratepala</i> is an economically important rainforest tree which has declined steadily, mainly though habitat destruction, and an endangered, narrow endemic in China where it is also classified as a Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations (PSESP). Effective conservation strategies for <i>H. tetratepala</i> are required urgently, but limited information about its<i> </i>genome is available. Accordingly, restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD_seq) was used to sequence sixty-three <i>H. tetratepala</i> trees covering ten isolated populations to assess genome-level diversity and population structure, generating 8,103 high-quality SNPs. Low genetic diversity and moderate genetic differentiation was observed among populations, but Bayesian clustering divided the sampled <i>H. tetratepala</i> populations into two genetic clusters, though with some populations from Guangxi and Yunnan intermixed. Because of increasing of habitat fragmentation and human disturbance, conservation priority should be placed on populations with higher genetic variation (e.g., BB, TKH, DWS, and GLQ). Overall, our study provides valuable genomic resources for <i>H. tetratepala</i> that will significantly advance the formulation of effective conservation strategies.</p>
Museomics contributes to the spatiotemporal assessment of genetic diversity and structure in wild and ex situ conservation organisms: a case study of three endangered coastal plants in Japan
<p><span>Understanding </span><span>the extent to which </span><span>genetic diversity of wild populations in ex</span> <span>situ</span><span> conservation can be retained is </span><span>crucial</span><span> for the management of </span><span>such</span><span> populations. Wild individuals collected in the target area in the past </span><span>and</span><span> present can be used to estimate the number of alleles lost over time in wild populations and</span><span> thereby</span><span> the number of alleles whose loss could be </span><span>prevented</span><span> by ex</span> <span>situ</span><span> conservation. </span><span>Here</span><span>, we assessed the genetic diversity of wild and ex</span> <span>situ</span><span> conservation populations of three endangered coastal herb species</span><span>,</span><span> <em>Cirsium maritimum</em> Makino (Asteraceae), <em>Linaria japonica</em> Miq. (Plantaginaceae</span><span>) and</span><span> <em>Suaeda glauca</em></span><span><em> </em>(Bunge) Bunge (Amaranthaceae), which are endangered </span><span>species on</span><span> Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, via multiplexed inter-simple sequence repeat genotyping by sequencing (MIG-seq). We </span><span>incorporated</span><span> the museomics approach, which </span><span>involves conducting</span><span> genetic analyses of museum specimens collected from the targeted wild populations in the past to estimate the temporal transition of genetic diversity in wild populations and the number of alleles maintai</span><span>ned in <em>ex situ</em></span><span> conservation. </span><span>Our </span><span>results </span><span>reveal</span><span> a declining trend in genetic diversity in the wild populations of all </span><span>investigated</span><span> species, although </span><span>this trend is </span><span>not significant. In all the species, </span><span>numerous</span><span> alleles were already lost in current wild populations, </span><span>whereas they</span><span> were </span><span>present</span><span> in the past wild and ex</span> <span>situ</span><span> conservation populations. Our study </span><span>indicates</span><span> that extinct alleles in current wild populations have been maintained in ex</span> <span>situ</span><span> conservation</span><span> by museomics approach. These </span><span>appro</span><span>aches </span><span>were effective in verifying</span><span> the genetic diversity retention effects of <em>ex</em></span><em> <span>situ</span></em><span> conservation populations.</span></p>
