(Q, R) The ovary is inferior, but the perianths and pistil are formed not at the tip of ovary but the lateral side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The perianth is transparent, membranous, and trace-like. The petals are thinner than the sepals in other Rubiaceous species, leading to the hypothesis that the sepals are degenerated (Rutishauser et al. 1998) or that the petals are degenerated and only the sepals remain (\u5185\u8cb4 2017), but which is valid is not known. Further research is needed to determine which genes are expressed, those working in the sepals or those working in the petals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The style is the only part covered by the petiole, with a long elongated stigma with papillose cells. The ovary is biloculate in early development, but only one ovule develops (S, T) and eventually becomes unilocular (Rutishauser et al. 1998). Compared to many other species in the family Rubiaceae, the genus <em>Theligonum<\/em> has the following special characteristics: (1) the leaves are not always opposite, the vegetative shoot is opposite, but the inflorescence converts to alternate, (2) it is wind pollinated (anemophily) rather than insect pollinated, (3) both male and female flowers have a single perianth whorl, (4) the male flowers are produced on the opposite side of the leaf, and no subtending leaf, (5) the number of stamens are not equal to that of perianths (four perianths), but 2 to 19, and (6) The ovary is bilocular but changes to actually unilocular with a single ovule. (Rutishauser et al. 1998). However, all of the traits as evolutionary trends are found in other Rubiaceae (Rutishauser et al. 1998), and it was proposed that they should be included in the family (Wunderlich 1971), but there were other hypotheses (Praglowski 1973, Nowicke and Skvarla 1979). However, detailed morphological comparisons (Rutishauser et al. 1998) and molecular phylogenetic analysis (Bremer 2009) have shown that <em>Theligonum<\/em> forms a clade with <em>Rubieae<\/em>, <em>Kelloggia<\/em>, and <em>Putorieae<\/em>. Although the leaves are similar in appearance to those of <em>Neanotis hirsuta <\/em>in the same family, morphology of the flowers, leaf and leaf hair are different, and molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates that they are not sister taxa (Bremer 2009, Neupane et al. 2015).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nibb.ac.jp\/plantdic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/\u30e4\u30de\u30c8\u30af\u3099\u30b5-Theligonum-8-1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nibb.ac.jp\/plantdic\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/\u30e4\u30de\u30c8\u30af\u3099\u30b5-Theligonum-8-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\u30a2\u30ab\u30cd\u79d1\u3067\u98a8\u5a92\u82b1\u306eCoprosma repens\u3000Wind pollinated flowers of Coprosma repens in the Rubiaceae\" class=\"wp-image-1177\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u56f3\uff17\u3000\u30a2\u30ab\u30cd\u79d1\u3067\u98a8\u5a92\u82b1\u306e<em>Coprosma repens\u3000<\/em>Wind pollinated flowers of <em>Coprosma repens<\/em> in the Rubiaceae<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30a2\u30ab\u30cd\u79d1\u3067\u306f\u3001\u30e4\u30de\u30c8\u30b0\u30b5\u9023\u306e\u7a2e\u4ee5\u5916\u306b\u3001<em>Anthospermeae<\/em>\u9023\u3067\u98a8\u5a92\u82b1\u304c\u77e5\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3002<em>Anthospermeae<\/em>\u306b\u5c5e\u3059\u308b\u7a2e\u306f\u3001\u4e01\u5b57\u7740\u846f\u3067\u3001\u846f\u7cf8\u304c\u9577\u304f\u3001\u5782\u308c\u4e0b\u304c\u3063\u305f\u96c4\u305a\u3044\u3092\u5f62\u6210\u3057\uff08Rutishauser et al. 1998)\u3001\u98a8\u5a92\u82b1\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3068\u8003\u3048\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\uff08Puff 1982, Thureborn et al. 2019)\u3002\u30a2\u30ab\u30cd\u79d1\u3067\u30e4\u30de\u30c8\u30b0\u30b5\u5c5e\u4ee5\u5916\u306f\u866b\u5a92\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3068\u8003\u3048\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304b\u3089\uff08Puff 1982, Thureborn et al. 2019)\u3001<em>Anthospermeae<\/em>\u306e\u5171\u901a\u7956\u5148\u3067\u866b\u5a92\u304b\u3089\u98a8\u5a92\u3078\u306e\u9032\u5316\u304c\u304a\u3053\u3063\u305f\u3068\u63a8\u5b9a\u3067\u304d\u308b\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Anthospermeae<\/em>\u306e\u7a2e\u3068\u6bd4\u8f03\u3057\u3066\u3001\u30e4\u30de\u30c8\u30b0\u30b5\u5c5e\u306e\u7a2e\u306f\u3001\u98a8\u5a92\u306b\u5bc4\u4e0e\u3059\u308b\u300c\u591a\u6570\u306e\u300d\u5f62\u8cea\u304c\u9032\u5316\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u70b9\u3067\u7279\u7570\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3002\u591a\u6570\u306e\u96c4\u305a\u3044\u3001\u7d30\u9577\u304f\u3066\u4e08\u592b\u306a\u82b1\u7cf8\u3001\u7d30\u9577\u304f\u958b\u82b1\u5f8c\u3059\u3050\u306b\u88c2\u958b\u3059\u308b\u846f\u3001\u53cd\u308a\u8fd4\u3063\u3066\u96c4\u305a\u3044\u3092\u9732\u51fa\u3055\u305b\u308b\u82b1\u5f01\u3001\u82b1\u67f1\u304c\u77ed\u304f\u67f1\u982d\u304c\u4f38\u9577\u3057\u305f\u96cc\u305a\u3044\u3001\u9000\u7e2e\u3057\u305f\u96cc\u3057\u3079\u306e\u82b1\u88ab\u3001\u96c4\u305a\u3044\u304c\u5f62\u6210\u3055\u308c\u308b\u7bc0\u306b\u306f\u96c4\u305a\u3044\u5074\u306b\u8449\u304c\u5f62\u6210\u3055\u308c\u305a\u3001\u96c4\u305a\u3044\u306e\u82b1\u7c89\u304c\u6563\u5e03\u3055\u308c\u3084\u3059\u304f\u306a\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u751f\u6b96\u30b7\u30e5\u30fc\u30c8\u306a\u3069\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3002\u8907\u5408\u7684\u306a\u5f62\u8cea\u306e\u9032\u5316\u306b\u306f\u3001\u8d85\u907a\u4f1d\u5b50\u5f62\u6210\u304c\u95a2\u308f\u3063\u3066\u3044\u305f\u53ef\u80fd\u6027\u304c\u8003\u3048\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\uff08\u7dcf\u8aac\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3001\u85e4\u539f 2023\uff09\u3002\u30e4\u30de\u30c8\u30b0\u30b5\u5c5e\u306e\u98a8\u5a92\u306b\u95a2\u308f\u308b\u8907\u6570\u306e\u5f62\u8cea\u304c\u3069\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306a\u907a\u4f1d\u5b50\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u5236\u5fa1\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u304b\u3001\u305d\u308c\u3089\u306e\u907a\u4f1d\u5b50\u304c\u30b2\u30ce\u30e0\u4e0a\u3067\u3069\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306b\u914d\u5217\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u304b\u3092\u7814\u7a76\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3001\u8907\u6570\u306e\u9069\u5fdc\u5f62\u8cea\u306e\u9032\u5316\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u65b0\u3057\u3044\u8996\u70b9\u304b\u3089\u306e\u7814\u7a76\u304c\u9032\u5c55\u3059\u308b\u53ef\u80fd\u6027\u304c\u3042\u308b\u3002\u307e\u305f\u3001\u305d\u308c\u305e\u308c\u306e\u5f62\u8cea\u306f\u30a2\u30ab\u30cd\u79d1\u306e\u4ed6\u306e\u9023\u3067\u3082\u898b\u3089\u308c\u308b\u5f62\u8cea\u3067\u3042\u308a\u3001\u30a2\u30ab\u30cd\u79d1\u306e\u5171\u901a\u7956\u5148\u304c\u6301\u3063\u3066\u3044\u305f\u907a\u4f1d\u5b50\u7cfb\u304c\u5916\u9069\u5fdc\u3068\u3057\u3066\u9032\u5316\u3057\u305f\u53ef\u80fd\u6027\u3082\u3042\u308b\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the species of Theligonum, wind-pollinated flowers are known in the tribe Anthospermeae of the family Rubiaceae; species belonging to the Anthospermeae have dorsifix anthers, long filaments, and pendulous stamens (Rutishauser et al. 1998) and are considered to be wind-pollinated (Rutishauser et al. Puff 1982, Thureborn et al. 2019). Since all members of the Rubiaceae are considered to be insect-pollinated (Puff 1982, Thureborn et al. 2019), it can be inferred that wind-pollinated flowers evolved at the common ancestor of the Anthospermeae from ancestral insect-pollinated flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to Anthospermeae species, <em>Theligonum<\/em> species are unique in that they have evolved multiple traits that contribute to wind pollination. These include numerous stamens, long and strong filaments, long and slender anthers that split open soon after flowering, tepals that are recurved to expose the stamens, pistils with the short style and the elongated stigma, reducted pistil perianths, and reproductive shoots in which the nodes where the male flowers are formed have no leaves on the male flower side, facilitating the dispersal of pollen. It is hypothesized that supergene formation may have been involved in the evolution of complex traits (for a review, \u85e4\u539f 2023). Studying what genes control the multiple traits involved in wind pollination in <em>Theligonum<\/em>, and how these genes are arranged in the genome, may advance new perspectives on the evolution of multiple adaptive traits. Each of these traits is also a trait found in other series of the Rubiaceae, and it is possible that the genetic system possessed by the common ancestor of the Rubiaceae evolved as exaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Antonelli, A. et al.<\/strong> (2021).
