Data from: Systems and trans-system level analysis identifies conserved iron deficiency responses in the plant lineage
We surveyed the iron nutrition-responsive transcriptome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using RNA-Seq methodology. Presumed primary targets were identified in comparisons between visually asymptomatic iron-deficient versus iron-replete cells. This includes the known components of high-affinity iron uptake as well as candidates for distributive iron transport in C. reinhardtii. Comparison of growth-inhibited iron-limited versus iron-replete cells revealed changes in the expression of genes in chloroplastic oxidative stress response pathways, among hundreds of other genes. The output from the transcriptome was validated at multiple levels: by quantitative RT-PCR for assessing the data analysis pipeline, by quantitative proteomics for assessing the impact of changes in RNA abundance on the proteome, and by cross-species comparison for identifying conserved or universal response pathways. In addition, we assessed the functional importance of three target genes, VITAMIN C 2 (VTC2), MONODEHYDROASCORBATE REDUCTASE 1 (MDAR1), and CONSERVED IN THE GREEN LINEAGE AND DIATOMS 27 (CGLD27), by biochemistry or reverse genetics. VTC2 and MDAR1, which are key enzymes in de novo ascorbate synthesis and ascorbate recycling, respectively, are likely responsible for the 10-fold increase in ascorbate content of iron-limited cells. CGLD27/At5g67370 is a highly conserved, presumed chloroplast-localized pioneer protein and is important for growth of Arabidopsis thaliana in low iron.
Data from: Geographical patterns in phylogenetic diversity of Chinese woody plants and its application for conservation planning
<p><b>Aim:</b> Biodiversity hotspots are widely used as conservation priorities to preserve the tree of life. However, many conservation practices identify biodiversity hotspots without considering phylogenetic diversity (PD), which reflects total evolutionary history and feature diversity of a region. Moreover, conservation planning rarely distinguishes between neo- and paleo-biodiversity hotspots despite their differences. Here, we 1) estimated large-scale patterns in PD of woody plants, 2) identified neo- and paleo-biodiversity hotspots, and 3) demonstrated their implication in conservation planning, with special focus on Hengduan Mountains and southern China.</p> <p><b>Location: </b>China.</p> <p><b>Methods: </b>Distributions of 11,405 woody species from the <i>Atlas of Woody Plants in China</i> were updated, and were transformed into a grid of 50 × 50 km<sup>2</sup>. By integrating distribution maps with a genus-level phylogeny of angiosperms, <span>we estimated Faith's PD of each grid cell and evaluated </span>the contribution of species relatedness to PD at given levels of species diversity (i.e. standardized PD, sPD) using <span>regressions </span>and three null models. Then we identified areas with significantly lower or higher sPD than expected as neo- and paleo-hotspots and estimated the coverage of protected areas in these regions.</p> <p><b>Results:</b> Species diversity and PD decreased towards the north. Southern China had high species diversity, PD and sPD, while Hengduan Mountains had high species diversity and PD but low sPD. The coverage of protected areas in southern China was less than half of that in Hengduan Mountains and entire China.</p> <p><b>Main conclusions:</b> Our results identified Hengduan Mountains as a neo-hotspot and southern China as a paleo-hotspot, highlighting their importance for biodiversity conservation. Compared to Hengduan Mountains, southern China has low coverage of protected areas, which calls for more conservation attention. Our study demonstrates a way of incorporating the phylogenetic component in the identification of neo- and paleo-hotspots, and hence of achieving a more complete perception of biodiversity patterns for conserving the tree of life.</p>

Figure 2 - Evaluation of barcode gaps in matK, rbcLa and rbcLa + matK for commonly used medicinal plants of South Africa. A Boxplots indicate the genetic variation between interspecific distance and intraspecific distance; the boxplots clearly shows significant differences between inter- and intraspecific distances for all gene regions tested (P < 0.001; see text) B Lineplot of the barcode gap for the commonly used plants in South African medicine. For each gene region, the grey lines correspond to the furthest intraspecific distance (bottom of line value), and the closest interspecific distance (top of line value). The red lines show where this relationship is reversed, i.e. cases where there is no barcode gap.
