Abstract
The Izu Islands of southcentral Japan are thought to fall within the distribution range of Neoporphyra dentata. However, the gametophytic blades of Bangiales collected from Shikinejima and Hachijojima, Izu Islands, were identified as Neoporphyra haitanensis in our previous study. Thus, it became uncertain whether N. dentata is distributed in the Izu Islands, including Shikinejima. To clarify whether N. dentata grows on Shikinejima, we conducted a further distribution survey of N. dentata on the island. The morphological features of the blade samples collected from an additional sampling site on Shikinejima were more similar to those of N. dentata than to those of N. haitanensis: the blade thickness and the division formula of spermatangia resembled those of the former species rather than the latter species. However, the division formula of zygotosporangia was different from those of either species. The phylogenetic analyses of the rbcL gene indicated that the samples were resolved in a clade including N. dentata collected from Shirahama, Chiba Prefecture, and Enoshima, Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshu, Japan. The p‐distances of the chloroplast rbcL gene and nuclear 18S rRNA also supported identification of the samples as N. dentata. The results demonstrated that N. dentata is also distributed on Shikinejima with co‐occurring N. haitanensis, and that the island materials of the two species are genetically different from other materials of the two species, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
