Methods In addition to a morphological examination in which material from related species were compared, rps4 and trnL–F sequences from the type specimen and a newly identified specimen of Hyophila flavolimbata were analysed. Relationships between related species in the Polytrichaceae were explored using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses. Key results and conclusions Phylogenetic analysis resolved a new taxonomic position for Hyophila flavolimbata in the genus Delongia of the Polytrichaceae, and consequently, a new combination, Delongia flavolimbata (S.He & Y.J.Yi) S.He & Y.J.Yi, is made. Photographs detailing key morphological differences from related taxa, and a key to the three currently recognised species in Delongia, are provided. The completely elamellate laminae of this species are an unusual morphological character that is highly remarkable for Delongia and uncommon in the Polytrichaceae.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42828791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frullania subpyricalycina, a little-known liverwort species endemic to central Chile, is described and illustrated based on newly collected specimens as well as undetermined and previously misdetermined herbarium specimens in MO. Methods. The specimens studied were compared morphologically with the type specimens of Frullania subpyricalycina to confirm their identity. Also, the molecular similarity of two newly collected specimens of F. subpyricalycina to other Frullania species was assessed, using newly obtained ITS1–2 nrDNA and trnL–F cpDNA sequence data. Key results. Molecular data revealed close affinities between Frullania subpyricalycina and Frullania subg. Chonanthelia. The high connectivity between the female bracts and bracteole, the 4-keeled perianth, and the autoicous sexuality in F. subpyricalycina are typical of the morphology of the latter subgenus. A lectotype was selected for F. subpyricalycina from the two duplicate type specimens in the describing author’s herbarium (JE). Conclusions. Molecular comparison and morphological study show that Frullania subpyricalycina represents a species of Frullania subg. Chonanthelia, which differs from the morphologically similar F. inflata Gottsche, F. pluricarinata Gottsche and F. pyricalycina Steph. by the shape of the leaves and underleaves, the exclusively explanate lobules, the reduced styli, the characteristics of the bracteole, and the number of perianth keels.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42902190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is unknown whether bryophytes have shaped communities associated with different substrates. Methods Bryophyte diversity was surveyed in nine plots at three localities: Chalan, Colosó and Toluviejo. To determine whether different communities were associated with particular substrates, we used the alpha diversity (Hill numbers), beta diversity and Bray–Curtis dissimilarity indices. Bray–Curtis dissimilarity was also used to determine whether these communities were the result of turnover or nestedness. Key results A total of 30 species of moss and 11 species of liverwort were identified. The most species-rich families were Neckeraceae and Pottiaceae for mosses and Lejeuneaceae and Frullaniaceae for liverworts. These plants inhabit bark, rock, soil and decaying wood substrates. Bark and rock were the most species-diverse substrates at all localities; soil and decaying wood were less diverse. Two main assemblages were detected, both shaped mainly by turnover: (i) bryophytes on bark/decaying wood and (ii) those on rock/soil. However, bryophytes on rock and soil formed two different communities in Chalan and Colosó, and bryophytes on bark/decaying wood were the most diverse community in Montes de María. Conclusions Beta diversity analyses revealed communities associated with different substrates and apparently shaped by environmental filters and dispersal limitations. The analyses thus provide important ecological information on bryophyte ecology. However, more detailed information is required to understand how these communities have arisen.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48205460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone known to regulate environmental stress responses in various species. Endogenous ABA has been detected in only a limited number of bryophyte species. Methods. Samples of the desiccation-tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. were analysed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry to determine the endogenous ABA content of the gametophores. Quantitative real-time PCR was conducted to investigate the transcript abundance of ABA-related genes (ZEP, NCED3, SnRK2, ABI1 and ABI5) during dehydration and rehydration and in response to exogenous ABA and cold stress. Key results. Over a 24 h period of dehydration, the mean ABA concentration of the gametophores ranged from 7.96 to 30.87 ng/g dry weight, being maximal at 6 h. The expression of ABA-related genes changed in response to abiotic stress. Conclusions. The results show that Syntrichia caninervis can generate ABA and suggest that ABA has crucial functions in the stress responses of this species. Our findings establish a foundation for further research on the physiological roles of ABA in S. caninervis and help extend our understanding of the biosynthetic, metabolic and signalling pathways of ABA in bryophytes.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44600116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In temperate zones, the main peat-forming plants are bryophytes, and the restoration capacity of disturbed peatland depends largely on the availability of suitable bryophyte diaspores. We investigated the species richness of bryophytes in the above-ground flora and diaspore bank of three types of mire common in Estonia and northern Europe: ombrotrophic bogs, poor fen and rich fen. Methods. The above-ground flora was recorded and diaspore bank samples were collected from study sites in eastern Estonia representing bog, poor fen and rich fen (three sites per mire type). For each mire type, the diaspore bank samples from the study sites were blended and placed in a growth chamber for 6 months, and the bryophytes that subsequently emerged were identified. Key results. In total, 54 bryophyte species were found, including six liverworts. Of the three mire types, rich fen had the most species both above and below ground. The number of species in the diaspore bank was lowest in bog (8) and highest in rich fen (27). Three species with conservation value were found: Hamatocaulis vernicosus (in the above-ground flora only) and Meesia longiseta and Splachnum ampullaceum (in the diaspore bank only). The species richness of the bryophyte diaspore bank was similar and significantly related to that of the above-ground bryophyte flora. Conclusion. In temperate-zone mires, the diaspore bank can be a depository of species that have disappeared from the above-ground flora. The local diaspore bank could a valuable source of species richness for the restoration of disturbed mire communities.","PeriodicalId":54869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bryology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03736687.2021.1933324","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46993233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
