홍도고들빼기의 분류학적 실체

적 요

고들빼기속에 속하는 홍도산 홍도고들빼기의 학명은 이고들빼기와 절영풀의 잡종인 Crepidiastrum ×nakaii로 기록되어 왔다. 홍도 식물상을 조사하는 과정에서 홍도고들빼기의 분류학적 실체를 재검토하였다. 이를 위해 홍도고들빼기의 형태적 특징과 지리적 분포 및 internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 염기서열을 고들빼기속 근연종들과 비교하였다. 형태적 특성 조사에서, 홍도고들빼기는 짧고 굵은 아관목성 줄기와 8개의 내총포편 및 10 내지 12개의 소화수를 갖는 점에서 갯고들빼기와 유사한 반면, 개화기에 시드는 뿌리잎과 막질로 예거치인 줄기잎 및 부리가 있는 수과 형태 등에서는 이고들빼기와 유사하였다. 한편 이고들빼기와 갯고들빼기는 홍도와 인근 섬 지역에 자라지만, 절영풀은 분포하지 않는다. 이러한 형태 및 분포 조사결과, 홍도고들빼기의 학명은 이고들빼기와 절영풀의 잡종인 C. ×nakaii가 아니라, 이고들빼기와 갯고들빼기의 잡종인 C. ×muratagenii로 판단된다. 하지만, ITS 염기서열은 조사된 종들을 구별할 수 있는 해상력을 보여주지 못하였다.

Abstract

The plant known as “Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi” on Hongdo Island, belonging to the genus Crepidiastrum, has been recorded as C. ×nakaii, a hybrid between C. denticulatum and C. platyphyllum. During a survey of the flora of Hongdo Island, we reexamined the taxonomic identity of “Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi”. The morphological traits, geographical distribution, and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of “Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi” were compared to related species within the genus. A morphological examination revealed that the plant was similar to C. lanceolatum in that it has subshrub stems with caudex stout, 8 inner involucrals bracts, and 10 to 12 florets. In contrast, similarities to C. denticulatum were observed in terms of radical leaves deciduous in the flowering period, cauline leaves membranous with acute serrations, and beaked achenes. Furthermore, C. denticulatum and C. lanceolatum grew on Hongdo Island and nearby areas, but C. platyphyllum was not distributed in these areas. The results of morphological and distributional investigations revealed that the Hongdo Island plant should be regarded as C. ×muratagenii, a hybrid between C. denticulatum and C. lanceolatum, not C. ×nakaii, which is a hybrid between C. denticulatum and C. platyphyllum. However, the resolution of the ITS sequences was insufficient such that we could not separate the examined species.

The distribution of Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi was first recognized in Korea by identifying the specimen (Ishidoya, T. & T. H. Chung 3741 TI) collected by T. Ishidoya on Hongdo Island as Paraixeris denticulato-platyphylla (Makino) Nakai, a hybrid of Paraixeris denticulate Nakai [= Crepidiastrum denticulatum (Houtt.) J. H. Pak & Kawano], and C. lanceolatum var. latifolium Nakai [= C. platyphyllum (Franch. & Sav.) Kitam.]. Later, it was treated as ×Crepidiastrixeris denticulato-platyphylla (Makino) Kitam. by Kitamura (1937). It seems to have been named Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi because it was first collected on Hongdo Island (Lee, 1969; Lee, 1996). However, the above scientific name was illegitimate (ICN H6.2. and H.9.1.). Hence, it was corrected to Crepidiastrum ×nakaii H. Ohashi & K. Ohashi, as the two parent species were treated as Crepidiastrum by Pak and Kawano (1992) (Ohashi and Ohashi, 2007). Saito et al. (2006) reported that C. ×nakaii occurs in the area where the parents occur sympatrically, and C. ×nakaii shows repeated frequent hybridization between the parent taxa as a result of an incomplete breeding barrier between the two taxa. However, there is disagreement as to whether or not C. platyphyllum is distributed in Korea (Ohwi, 1965; Koyama, 1995; Kadota et al., 2017). Furthermore, Lee (1996) described Hong-do-go-deul-ppaegi as a hybrid of C. denticulatum and C. lanceolatum. Therefore, controversy exists regarding the identity of this plant.
Natural hybridization is a frequent evolutionary phenomenon in flowering plants (Grant, 1981), playing an important role in the formation of new species (Arnold, 1997; Rieseberg, 1997; Seehausen, 2004). Under the limited migration from the continent, species richness of insular flora can be increased via hybridization which may lead to the generation of new species with novel combinations of potentially advantageous parental traits in the new environment (Francisco-Ortega et al., 1996; Brochmann et al., 2000; Jorgensen and Olesen, 2001; Fuertes-Aguilar et al., 2002; Howarth and Baum, 2005). Because of the importance of plant hybridization in evolution, it is of great importance to accurately identify hybrid individuals.
To determine the taxonomic identity of Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi, this study examined its morphological characteristics and distribution, and analyzed nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences with its related species in the genus Crepidiastrum.

Materials and Methods

Morphological observation and survey of geographical distribution

To compare the morphological characters of Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi and its closely related taxa, we collected specimens from Hongdo, Jindo, and Geomundo Islands in Jeollanam-do Province, South Korea, and deposited them in the Herbarium of Inha University (IUI). In addition, we examined additional specimens throughout the Korea National Biospecies Information System (http://www.nature.go.kr). For identification, reference was made to Kitamura (1937, 1955), Pak and Kawano (1992), and Ohashi and Ohashi (2007). Distribution data were collected from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (http://www.gbif.org), the Korea National Biospecies Information System (http://www.nature.go.kr), Science Museum Net (http://science-net.kahaku.go.jp), and the Chinese Virtual Herbarium (http://www.cvh.ac.cn).

DNA extraction and PCR amplification

Total genomic DNA was extracted from dried leaf materials with silica gel (deposited in the herbarium of Inha University, IUI) using the DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The extracted DNA was electrophoresed on a 1% agarose gel to confirm the presence or absence of DNA, and the concentration and quality of DNA were confirmed using a NanoDrop ND-1000 (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA). We used PCR amplification of the ITS of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. Primer and PCR conditions were as described in Saito et al. (2006). The PCR products were visualized on 1% agarose gels and sequenced using an ABI 3730xl DNA analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). The determined sequences were deposited in the Genbank (accession nos. MW938634–MW938646). Additionally, the nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences of Japanese and Chinese individuals deposited in GenBank were used for the ITS analysis (Table 1).

Phylogenetic analysis

The analyzed nucleotide sequences were determined after checking the chromatogram using Geneious R 7.1.9 (Biomatters Ltd., Auckland, New Zealand). All sequences were aligned using the MUSCLE software (Edgar, 2004). Maximum likelihood trees based on ITS data were constructed using the W-IQ-TREE Server (http://iqtree.cibiv.univie.ac.at/) (Trifinopoulos et al., 2016), based on user-friendly web servers for IQ-TREE 1.5 (Nguyen et al., 2015). Each aligned sequence dataset was tested to determine the best-fit model by using W-IQ-TREE with the Akaike criterion, and new model selection procedures. TIM3e was confirmed as the best-fit model for the ITS. We evaluated the node supported by 1,000 ultrafast bootstrap replicates (UFBS) (Minh et al., 2013). As an outgroup, Youngia japonica (L.) DC., which is most closely related to the genus Crepidiastrum, was used (Kilian et al., 2009).

Results and Discussion

Observation of morphological traits

According to Pak and Kawano (1992), C. denticulatum is a herb, lacking radical leaves during the flowering season, membranous cauline leaves with acute serrations, 13–15 florets, and short and shout beaked achenes. In contrast, C. lanceolatum and C. platyphyllum are subshrubs, persisting radical leaves, and thicker cauline leaves with entire and beakless achenes. In addition, C. lanceolatum has 8 inner involucre bracts, 8–12 florets, and C. platyphyllum has 5 inner involucre bracts, and 5 florets. As a result of observations, Hongdo Island individuals showed mixed characteristics of C. denticulatum and C. lanceolatum (Fig. 1, Table 2). Hongdo Island individuals were similar to C. lanceolatum in a shrub with caudex stout, 8 inner involucre bracts, florets less 10–12 (13–15 in C. denticulatum), but differed from C. lanceolatum by having radical leaves withered during the flowering season, membranous cauline leaves with acute serrations, and short and shout beaked achenes as C. denticulatum.

Survey of geographical distribution

To confirm the distribution of Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi and its related taxa, Hong-do-go-deul-ppae-gi was collected from Hongdo and Geomundo Islands in Korea. Crepidiastrum lanceolatum occurs in rocky areas along the seashore of Jeju and the southern coast of Korea, while C. denticulatum occurs on sunny slopes and roadsides in the mountains of all Korean provinces. According to recent literature, C. platyphyllum is known as a Japanese endemic plant distributed in Chiba Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan (Pak and Kawano, 1992; Koyama, 1995; Kadota et al., 2017). Therefore, it is highly likely that a hybrid of C. lanceolatum and C. denticulatum, rather than C. platyphyllum and C. denticulatum, would occur on Hongdo Island (Fig. 2). In addition, the T. Ishidoya specimen (Ishidoya, T. & T. H. Chung 3741 TI) was re-identified as a hybrid of ×Crepidiastrixeris denticulato-lanceolata Kitam. (nom. illeg.) [= C. ×muratagenii H. Ohashi & K. Ohashi] by Kitamura (1955).

Phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequences

In the ITS phylogenetic tree, the 4 taxa of the genus Crepidiastrum were divided into two clades; C. lanceolatum and C. platyphyllum, C. denticulatum, and Hongdo Island individuals, but each taxon did not form a monophyletic group. Significant differences did not exist between the nucleotide sequences of the Hongdo Island individuals and the Korean C. denticulatum (Fig. 3). For that reason, Saito et al. (2006) reported that C. ×nakaii in F1 status showed an additivity of parent sequences at the nrDNA locus, but in F2 status showed either the ITS sequences of one parent only, or one predominant ITS type, despite the intermediate morphology between C. platyphyllum and C. denticulatum. These results can be explained through a backcross to C. denticulatum or segregating of F2. Further studies are required to understand the taxonomic identity of this species.

Origin and scientific name of the plant

Based on our investigations on morphological traits and geographical distribution, the origin of “Hong-do-go-deul-ppae- gi” recorded in Hongdo Island should be regarded as a hybrid between C. denticulatum and C. lanceolatum, and not a hybrid between C. denticulatum and C. platyphyllum. Therefore, that the scientific name of the plant should be assigned as C. ×muratagenii, a hybrid between C. denticulatum and C. lanceolatum.
