Abstract

Two new species of the lichen genus Placolecis are discovered in China, namely P. kunmingensis An. C. Yin & Li S. Wang and P. sublaevis An. C. Yin & Li S. Wang. The new combination P. loekoesiana (S.Y. Kondr., Farkas, J.J. Woo & Hur) An. C. Yin is proposed. Placolecis kunmingensis is characterized by having simple, spherical or ellipsoid, hyaline spores, and pear-shaped pycnidia; while P. sublaevis can be distinguished by its thallus forming larger aggregations with slightly flattened lobes at the thallus margin, and urn-shaped pycnidia. Descriptions, a phylogenetic tree and a key are provided for all the known Placolecis species in China.

Keywords: Lichen, taxonomy, Catillariaceae, Yunnan Province

1. Introduction

The genus Placolecis Trevis. was established by Trevisan (1857) with two species: Placolecis balanina (Fr.) Trevis. and P. plumbea (Lightf.) Trevis [1]. Later on, Hafellner synonymized one more species Lecidea opaca Dufour into Placolecis, as P. opaca (Dufour) Hafellner, based on the morphological characters and secondary metabolites [2,3]. In recent studies, P. balanina was merged into P. opaca [4,5], and P. plumbea was treated as synonym of Pectenia plumbea (Lightf.) P. M. Jørg. [6]. After this study, four species (Placolecis kunmingensis, P. loekoesiana, P. opaca, and P. sublaevis) are recognized in this genus.

The genus Placolecis is mainly distributed in the Mediterranean region, and has been infrequently reported from Algeria, Russia, South Korea, and India, and so forth [7–14]. Species of this genus frequently occur on limestone in open and sunny habitats [9]. Placolecis opaca (≡Lecidea opaca var. crocea (B. de Lesd.) Zahlbr.) was first reported from China by Handel-Mazzetti based on collections from Sichuan Province, however, few studies were carried out [15,16]. Recently, during a field survey in Yunnan Province, some specimens of Placolecis were collected, and morphological, anatomical, chemical, and molecular phylogenetic analyses based on the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) were performed in order to determine species composition. A key to Placolecis species worldwide is provided.

2. Materials and methods

2.1. Materials and morphological observation

The specimens in this study are deposited in the Lichen Herbarium, Kunming Institute of Botany (KUN), and Korean Lichen Research Institute (KoLRI). Anatomical descriptions are based on observations under a NIKON Eclipse 50i microscope, and photographs were taken using NIKON digital camera head DS-Fi2. Spot tests were conducted by K (a 10% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide), C (a saturated solution of aqueous sodium hypochlorite), and P (a saturated solution of p-phenylenediamine in 95% ethyl alcohol). Secondary metabolites were detected by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) as described by Orange et al. [17] in solvent C (toluene: acetic acid =170:30).

2.2. DNA isolation, PCR and phylogenetic analysis

Genomic DNA was extracted from dried materials using AxyPrep Multisource Genomic DNA Miniprep Kit50-prep (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. ITS was amplified via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the primers ITS1F [18] and ITS4 [19]. Amplifications were performed in a 25 µL volume comprising 12.5 µL of 2 × MasterMix, 0.5 µL of each primer, 10.5 µL distilled H2O, and 1 µL of DNA. PCR amplifications program were performed as following: initial denaturation at 94 °C for 4 min, 34 cycles each composed of 94 °C for 1 min, 62 °C for 1 min, 72 °C for 1.5 min, and a final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. PCR products were sequenced by TsingKe biological technology company (Kunming, China).

The ITS dataset consists of 6 newly generated sequences and 17 relevant ITS sequences from GenBank (Table 1). All raw sequences were assembled and edited using SeqMan 7.0 (DNAstar packages), then aligned with MAFFT version 7 [20] with the default parameters. Ambiguous regions were excluded using Gblocks [21] with default settings. Maximum likelihood (ML) was generated using the RAxML-HPC2 on XSEDE (8.2.10) in the CIPRES Science Gateway Platform (http://www.phylo.org/portal2/) using GTRGAMMA model, fast bootstrap analyses of 1000 pseudoreplicates were completed [22]. Phylogenetic trees were visualized using the program FigTree 1.4.0 [23]. The Bayesian analysis was conducted with MrBayes v.3.2.6 to evaluate Bayesian posterior probabilities by Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling (MCMC). Bayesian inference was conducted using four chains and run for one million generations. Lecidea tessellata Flörke, L. atrobrunnea (DC.) Schaer., Teloschistes flavicans (Sw.) Norman, T. exilis (Michx.) Vain. were used as outgroup [24].

3. Results and discussion

Topologies were established based on 23 ITS sequences including related species of family Catillariaceae and four species for outgroup (Table 1). The tree topology obtained from the maximum likelihood is used to represent phylogenetic relationships. A phylogenetic analysis using ITS sequences revealed 19 species, including P. kunmingensis, P. sublaevis new to science (Figure 1). Molecular phylogenetic analyses strongly supported the current taxonomic delimitation of species within the genus of Placolecis, which is in accordance with the taxonomic study based on morphological and chemical characters.

Phylogenetic relationships of the family Catillariaceae with the genus Placolecis inferred by Bayesian analysis of the ITS sequences. New species and the new combination are shown in bold. Bootstrap support values (MLBS) and posterior probabilities (PP) are shown above or below the branches.

Placolecis is characterized by saxicolous, crustose to effigurate, dark brown or yellowish brown or yellowish thallus, areolate in the center; Lobes contiguous, flat to convex, usually branched. Cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla reddish orange in the upper portion and white in the lower portion. Apothecia lecideine, 0.3–1.3 mm across, black, sessile, with a flat to convex disc and a persistent proper margin. Hymenium colourless, I + blue; paraphyses capitate, the apical cells with an internal pigment cap. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate, Catillaria-type (with a prominent amyloid tholus, lacking any internal differentiation, I + blue). Ascospores simple, hyaline, ellipsoid, (7.5-)10-14 × (4-)5-7.5 µm. Pycnidia frequent, immersed or slightly protruding. Conidia hyaline, bacilliform, straight. Chemistry: medulla with anthraquinones [2,3,12,16].

Although these species have similar habit, colour reaction, thallus section, Catillaria-type ascus and simple hyaline ascospores, and so forth, they can be distinguished by the thallus morphology. The thallus of P. opaca usually dark brown or yellowish brown, areolate in the center, forming regular to irregular rosettes to 4 cm diameter; lobes are elongate, contiguous, flat to slightly convex, radiating from center toward to periphery, often with secondary lobes as branches of main lobules, in having yellow-ochre-orange medulla [1,2,7,25]. The new species P. kunmingensis has a crustose thallus with rather few lobes, areolate-squamulose in the center, forming irregular patches or clumps 10–50 mm wide; upper surface dark brown, uneven; rarely with radiating shorter lobules at the thallus margin, sometimes difficult to delimitate secondary lobules and main lobes. P. sublaevis is similar to P. kunmingensis in having the same crustose thallus in the center, differs in having larger aggregations of lobes at the thallus margin, in having distinct secondary lobules as branches of main lobes, slightly subflattened at the apex, in having pear-shaped pycnidia and elongated conidia. All four species contain unidentified anthraquinones by TLC and the same compounds: emodin, erythrin, fragilin, 7-chloro-emodin, 2-chloro-derivatives [26,27].

Placolecis sublaevis, holotype. (A) Thallus and habit; (B) cross-section of thallus and a pycnidium; (C) conidia. Scale bars: A = 1 mm; B = 25 μm; C = 5 μm.

Chemistry: Medulla K + violet in the upper yellow portion, P−, C−; fragilin, solorinic acid and anthraquinone substances detected by TLC.

Ecology and distribution: This species occurs on exposed steep slopes with limestone boulders near the stream, in the high mountain area in Yunnan and Sichuan (SE China).

Notes: The variety Lecidea opaca var. crocea (B. de Lesd.) Zahlbr. was described from France and reported later also from China [28,29]. According to Handel-Mazzetti's specimen information, L. opaca var. crocea was collected in Sichuan Yanyuan. We visited the original locality and collected samples from similar habitats, in order to compare with the European specimens (L-76218, L-203661, L-622068, L-622018, L-676136, L-685879) in UPS. According to the ITS phylogenetic tree, the morphological descriptions, and the WU online data query, we believe that the specimens Handel-Mazzetti collected in Sichuan in 1914 were misidentified as L. opaca var. crocea [15,16], they are in fact a new species in Placolecis, P. sublaevis. It differs from P. opaca in having areolate-squamulose in the thallus center, in having somewhat shorter and somewhat narrower thalline lobes, especially towards the tips (0.15–0.4 mm wide versus to 0.4–0.6 mm wide), medulla yellow in the upper portion and white in the lower portion (vs. yellow-brown), Trebouxia algae normally have smaller size cells (6–12 µm vs. 10–15 µm), in having elongated conidia (5–6 µm vs. 3–5 µm). The species P. sublaevis is similar to P. kunmingensis in having similar small crustaceous thallus center, but it is different in having larger aggregations of lobes at the thallus margin (2–3 (–4) mm vs. 0.5–1 mm), in having distinct secondary lobules as branches of main lobes (vs. equal dichotomous branching), in having thinner algal layer (diffuse, not uniform, 25–40 µm vs. uniform, 50–70 µm), in having pear-shaped pycnidia (vs. urn-shaped), elongated conidia (5–6 µm vs. 3–5 µm).

Etymology: The epithet sublaevis refers to the shape of lobes, slightiy subflattened at the apex.

4.2. New combination

Placolecis loekoesiana (S.Y. Kondr., Farkas, J.J. Woo & Hur) An. C. Yin, comb. nov.

Basionym: Astroplaca loekoesiana S.Y. Kondr., Farkas, J.J. Woo & Hur, in Kondratyuk et al., Acta Bot. Hung. 59(1/2): 139 (2017).

Type: Republic of Korea. Gangwon-do: Jeongseon-gun, Jeongseon-eup, Aesan-ri, limestone rocky wall along river, on calcareous rocks. Lat.: 37°22′18.66″N; Long.: 128°40′27.76″E; Alt.: 325 m a.s.l. Coll.: Kondratyuk, S. Y. and Lőkös, L. (163000), 16.09.2016 (KoLRI 041238 – holotype!).
