This study describes four species of the genus Myriolecis from China. Among them, two are new to science, namely Myriolecis gigantea and M. complanata, and two are new records from China, namely M. persimilis and M. juniperina. M. gigantea can be distinguished by its conspicuous thallus, a large, dark and heavily pruinose apothecial disc, and the p...
Western Tianshan National Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, China stands out for its uniqueness and high biodiversity, including lichens. This study aims to characterize lichen diversity and compare distribution patterns of different life forms, substratum affinities and photobiont types. Surveys were conducted from June to August 2024 using stratified s...
Introduction
Phytoremediation is a safe and green technology for the remediation of heavy metal pollution, a global environmental problem. Bryophytes are well known for their special physiological properties, but there is little research on the use of bryophytes for phytoremediation.
Methods
In this indoor experiment, the impacts of 40 days of Cd...
Soil salinization is a major environmental threat to the entire terrestrial ecosystem. Lichens arose from the symbiosis of fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. They have a high tolerance to various extreme environments, including adaptation to saline‐alkali habitats. Thus, lichens are pioneer species on saline‐alkali soil. However, the separate resili...
In the present study, the mitochondrial genomes of Peltigera elisabethae and P. polydactylon were sequenced and assembled. The two mitogenomes were composed of circular DNA molecules, with sizes of 64,034 bp and 59,208 bp, respectively. Comparative analysis showed that the genome size, GC content, GC skew, and AT skew varied between the two mitocho...
In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of five Peltigera species (Peltigera elisabethae, Peltigera neocanina, Peltigera canina, Peltigera ponojensis, Peltigera neckeri) were sequenced, assembled and compared with relative species. The five mitogenomes were all composed of circular DNA molecules, and their ranged from 58,132 bp to...
To screen environmentally friendly and efficient Cd pollution remediation material, the effects of BC and BF on soil Cd bio-availability and cotton Cd absorption were analyzed under Cd exposure. Besides, the differences in metabolic mechanisms by which biochar (BC) and biofertilizer (BF) affect Cd-contaminated soil and cotton were also analyzed. Th...
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Cladonia subulata (L.) FH Wigg was sequenced and assembled and then compared with those of other Cladonia species. The mitogenome of Cladonia subulata, the type species of Cladonia, consisted of a circular DNA molecule of 58,895 bp 44 genes (15 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 27 tRNA genes...
Payzula, T. & Mamut, R. 2023. Myriolecis nigrodisca, a new saxicolous species from northwestern China. – Herzogia 36: 479 – 487.
Myriolecis nigrodisca is described as a new lichenized fungus. It is characterized by having a crustose and often conspicuous yellowish to beige thallus, black, often confluent apothecia with grey to whitish-grey pruinose...
The lichen-forming genus Diploschistes belongs to Ascomycota, Lecanoromycetes,
Ostropomycetidae, Graphidales, Diploschistaceae. This genus includes 48 crustose species worldwide, and is confirmed as monophyletic group. Based on morphological, anatomical and chemical observation combined with phylogenetic analysis of ITS, a new species of Diploschi...
According to morphological and molecular data, a new species of Lecidea s. str., Lecidea glacierensis , is described from Xinjiang Province, China. It is distinctive due to its well-developed, regularly areolate to bullate thallus, and its habitat on calciferous rocks. This species was collected mostly in the area of Tianshan No.1 Glacier, which is...
Lichens are symbiotic associations of algae and fungi. The genetic mechanism of the symbiosis of lichens and the influence of symbiosis on the size and composition of the genomes of symbiotic algae have always been intriguing scientific questions explored by lichenologists. However, there were limited data on lichen genomes. Therefore, we isolated...
Known colloquially as ‘dog-lichens’ or ‘pelt-lichens’, most species of Peltigera grow on soil and mosses. Some species contribute a significant amount of nitrogen to the environment and have been used as traditional medicines. We analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of P. rufescens, which is a circular genome 65,199 bp in size and its CG cont...
The earliest list of 67 species, 19 varieties and 17 forms of lichens for Xinjiang Province in northwestern China by Wei in 1991 was extended by Abbas in 2002 to 278 species, 3 subspecies, 15 varieties and 17 forms, and by Xahidin in 2005 to c. 398 species. The present study of the largest province in China, based on a comprehensive literature surv...
Coptis is one of the most important medicinal plant genera in eastern Asia. To better understand the evolution of this genus, the complete chloroplast genome of C. chinensis var. brevisepala was obtained by next-generation sequencing. The plastome of C. chinensis var. brevisepala is 155,426 bp in length, and consists of large (LSC, 84,488 bp) and s...
Lycium ruthenicum is a precious desert plant with high medicinal and ecological values. It contains rich anthocyanins, which are safe natural pigments and could be used for natural food colorants. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of L. ruthenicum was assembled on the basis of next generation sequencing. The whole genome is 154,99...
In this investigation of saxicolous lichen communities in the Bogda Mountains using 20 quadrats (20m × 20m), the data were classified based on species coverage using two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) and detrended correspondence analysis (DCA). Community structure characteristics, species diversity, and similarity index were analyzed. T...
Six taxa of the lichen genus Fulgensia are reported from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Three species, Fulgensia australis, F. desertorum and F. schistidii are reported for the first time from China. Morphological, anatomical, chemical and ecological characteristics of each species are studied. A key and the photographs of each species are provi...
