Chemical data obtained by analysing leaf terpenes by gas chromatography have been used to study the chemotaxonomic characters of cypress species in an attempt to support modern phylogenetic classification. While the dominant terpenes proved to be reliable distinguishing features at the individual level of species, the relative proportions of individual terpene fractions were a significant feature distinguishing individual cypress genera. The <em>Juniperus</em> and <em>Sabina</em> genera were characterized by the highest content of monoterpenes (<em>Sabina virginiana</em> up to 95%). Genus <em>Juniperus</em> also contained higher amounts of sesquiterpenes (e.g. hedycaryol) and diterpenes (e.g. totarol), but genus <em>Sabina</em> showed a negligible content of these terpene fractions. Genus <em>Xanthocyparis</em> showed the highest content of diterpenes (up to 59%) of all species studied here, but a lower content of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Genus <em>Chamaecyparis</em> was characterized by balanced amounts of mono- and sesquiterpenes and also by a higher content of diterpenes (e.g. beyerene, totarol). Although genus <em>Taxodium</em> is from the Taxodioideae subfamily, it showed a terpene fractions content very similar to that of genus <em>Juniperus</em> from the subfamily Cupressoideae. Chemical data proved to be a reliable biomarker corresponding to the phylogenetic classification of conifers. No significant effect of seasonality on leaf terpenes production was proved in a study over a period of 6 years, with exception of the <em>Sabina pfitzeriana</em> and <em>Chamaecyparis lawsoniana</em> species. Slight differences were revealed among individual seasons.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8799,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Systematics and Ecology","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 104980"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143350396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, the sixth mass extinction of biological species is underway, rapid, and aggressive, which renders the description of biodiversity to inform conservation, of high priority. Systematics allows a reliable assessment of biological diversity, facilitating conservation management. Unfortunately, marine invertebrates often present few morphological characters that help to define boundaries and classify taxa. Therefore, the integration of new approaches and data is necessary to obtain more robust diagnostic characters enabling a more accurate identification of the taxa. The sponge order Haplosclerida is no exception within the Metazoa in general when it comes to a sizeable mismatch between the growing phylogeny of the group and its accepted classification. The monophyly of marine haplosclerids is well supported, whereas many of the Haplosclerida families and even genera are paraphyletic. A deep morphological, molecular and metabolomic investigation of all species of the genus <em>Arenosclera</em> (Callyspongiidae, Haplosclerida) allowed a reassessment of the genus’ diagnosis, a description of the new genus <em>Arenospicula</em> gen. nov., and a reorganization of species in the classification. Our results highlight the potential of an integrative approach to solve part of the extensive mismatch between phylogeny and classification for the Haplosclerida. Integration of morphology, molecular and metabolomic data is a robust way to face the challenge of widespread polyphyly in every non-monotypic higher taxon within the Haplosclerida. Integration of these data could also lead to a more accurate and natural view of genera and family boundaries of currently para- and polyphyletic taxa in marine invertebrates.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8799,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Systematics and Ecology","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 104971"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143105311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, plants are continual pressure for variation due to environmental stresses and hybridization. The study aims to assess the chemodiversity among cultivars and clones of <em>Mentha</em> species cultivated under same climatic and soil conditions. The essential oil compositions of 83 samples, representing 11 different <em>Mentha</em> species, were analyzed with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Chemical profiles were classified using multivariate analysis techniques, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA), and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). The results reveal that, despite inter-and intraspecific hybridization in <em>Mentha</em> species, similar chemotypes were observed across different species. Conversely, within the same species, chemotype diversity was present. Centroid clustering also demonstrated that closely related mint species tended to cluster together locally. The analysis identified 16 different chemical groups (chemotypes) among the 83 mint samples studied. Of these 83 samples, 31 were found to be rich in carvone, ranging from 36.4% to 77.7%. In addition to commercial chemotypes such as menthol and menthol/menthone, rare chemotypes were identified, suggesting their potential significance for taxonomic classification. Additionally, the identification of chemotypes containing compounds with newly recognized physiological significance highlights the need to cultivate chemotypes rich in these compounds to meet the growing demands of the industry. Overall, this study sheds light on the chemodiversity within <em>Mentha</em> species and underscores the importance of understanding and harnessing this diversity for various applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8799,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Systematics and Ecology","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 104972"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143105309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
