Amino acid sequences of the mitochondrial protein maturase K (matK) and the plastid protein ribulose-bisphos-phate carboxylase (rbcL) from different Amaranthaceae Juss. species were retrieved from the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), and used for phylogenetic analysis. A correspondence was found between phylogenetic trees derived from molecular data and those based on palynomorphological data. Clustering patterns in the trees obtained from both protein sequences support the idea of two main pollen types (Amaranthus-type and Gomphrena-type) as described in 1952 by G. Erdtman. The results also indicate that some species, which according to traditional classification, are from different subfamilies and tribes of Amaranthaceae Juss. may in fact be closely related. Thus molecular data support the idea that palynomorphological data can be used in systematic and phylogenetic studies of Amaranthaceae.
Key words: bioinformatics, maturase K, ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase, phylogeny, Amaranthaceae, palynomorphology.
In recent years, biodiversity and conservation have been globally recognized as one of the critical issues facing humanity. In light of this problem, biologists are emphasizing ecological and environmental studies. However, it is not possible to study biological objects without naming and describing them, i.e. without taxonomy and nomenclature, which explores relationships within and between different groups of organisms.
By combining methods used by several different disciplines such as traditional morphology, anatomy, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and molecular biology, a new powerful identification tool has been developed. Using the unique sequences of genes from different organisms it is now possible to identify many organisms and determine their relationships with others. DNA, RNA, and protein sequences also enable us to evaluate classical methods of identification of organisms and to improve them. Existing sequences for taxa of interest obtained from international databases such as the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) can be compared and evaluated
by various bioinformatics programs and tools. Bioinformatics analysis using data from these databases thus provides an inexpensive and powerful method for investigation of DNA polymorphism and its origin.
The flowering plant family Amaranthaceae sensu stricto (s.s.) which corresponds to the classical family Amaranthaceae Juss. (69 genera and 772 species [1]) as well as the twice-larg-er related family Chenopodiaceae Ventenat have been subject to repeated taxonomical revisions from the time they were first described (1789 and 1799 respectively [2, 3]) to the present. Recently it has been proposed to combine them into one large family: Amaranthaceae sensu lato (s.l.) as a result of molecular analysis [4].
The morphology of pollen grains, which are the male generative (gametophyte) stage of seed plants, is an important source of information for plant systematics. In certain cases, palynological data have been crucial for taxonomic conclusions [5-13]. The often complex structure of the pollen wall varies across taxa and is considered to be a conservative, taxo-
nomically meaningful feature. However, the rate and direction of pollen wall structure evolution is not always parallel to the macroevolution of (sporophyte) seed plants. That is why similar pollen grains might belong to plants from different taxonomical groups, and one taxon might have a variety of pollen grains among its representatives. Before the advent of molecular bioinformatics tools, scientists had to guess which morphological features: palynological or macro-morphological were most reliable. However, molecular data might now serve as arbitrators in such cases.
Both the Amaranthaceae and Chenopodia-ceae have panporate pollen of the Amaranthus and Gomphrena types [14]. The existence of these two pollen types supports, with certain exceptions, the division of the Amaranthaceae into two subfamilies, Amaranthoideae and Gomphrenoideae, which were described according to macromorphological data, largely anther structure. However, exceptions in pollen grain structure of some representatives of both subfamilies have lead researchers to conclude that pollen grain data are not useful as a taxonomical feature for these taxa. Within the Amaranthus-type pollen there is a small group of pollen grains with an unusual stellate ornamentation of their opercula [15]. Pollen grains of this type also sometimes occur in plants from Gomphrenoideae. However, such complex and unique pollen structure does not suggest accidental parallelism in these two subfamilies but rather it is more likely that these groups of plants share an ancestor with genes coding for both of these pollen structures. Additionally, certain genera of Amarantho-ideae possess Gomphrena-type pollen.
Why are both pollen types not spread equally through both subfamilies? We have assumed that the ancestors of genera with both Gomphrena-type pollen and pollen with stellate opercula have their common ancestor within Amaranthoideae. If so, Amarantho-ideae should be divided into two parts, and genera with Gomphrena-type pollen as well as genera from the Amaranthoideae with stellate ornamentation of the opercula should be placed into the Gomphrenoideae. If true, bioinformatics analysis of molecular sequences would support this conclusion. Such is the aim of our study.
Sequences from various genes and proteins have been successfully used for plant system-atics studies. These include sequences of the mitochondrial protein maturase K (matK, EC-Number 2.7.10.2), the plastid protein ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL, EC-Number
4.1.1.39), 18S and 16S small subunit riboso-mal RNA, and the internal transcribed spacer rRNA (ITS) gene. Since matK and rbcL sequences from Amaranthaceae were the most abundant in GeneBank, they were chosen for our study.
Materials and methods
Specimens and microscopy
Pollen grains of 60 species from 14 Amaranthaceae genera (100 samples) were examined using light microscopy (LM), and pollen grains of 120 species from 32 Amaranthaceae genera (140 samples) along with 5 species of the genus Corispermum (Chenopodiaceae) were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These pollen samples were taken from voucher specimens from the following institutions: M. G. Kholodny Institute of Botany of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev, Ukraine (KW); V.L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia (LE); and the Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia (MHW). The material for LM and portions of the material for SEM were acetolysed according to the method described by G. Erdtman [16]. For LM, pollen grains were mounted in glycerin jelly. For SEM, pollen grains were placed in a drop of 96% ethyl alcohol, and vacuum-coated with gold. In our study we used a «Biolar» microscope (for LM) and a JEOL JSM-35C microscope (for SEM). Data from literature sources on the pollen wall structure of Amaranthaceae were also consulted. Thirty features were used to characterize the evolutionary pattern of pollen types. Pollen wall structure from a total of 213 species from 60 genera was analyzed [17].
Sequence analysis and phylogeny
All available amino acid sequences of matu-rase K (matK) and ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) from Amaranthaceae were obtained from the NCBI database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genomes/). Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis were performed with the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA version 3.0) program [18]. The data sets for both proteins included a wide range of taxa from Amarathaceae s.l. (both Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae s.s.) and in both cases, three outgroup taxa from Caryophyllaceae. The individual taxa in the two data sets were somewhat different for the two proteins because of differences in the availability of sequence data.
Maximum Parsimony analysis resulted in 47 and 70 most parsimonious trees for the rbcL and the matK data respectively. The robustness of the trees and branch support was estimated by bootstrap analysis. For parsimony searches, we performed 1000 random sequence additions. For calculating bootstrap proportions, we performed 500 replicates with 10 random sequence additions per replicate. Neighbor-joining (NJ) analysis was conducted by calculating Kimura’s 2-parameter distance [19].
Results and discussion
Pollen types of Amaranthaceae
Our original palynomorphological data along with additional palynomorphological data from literature sources support Erd-man’s conclusion [14] of the existence of two clearly recognized pollen grain types (Amaranthus- and Gomphrena-types) in Amaranthaceae s.l. Amaranthus-type pollen grains have pore membranes approximately on the same level as the pollen surface (mesopori-um), whereas the pores of the Gomphrena-type sink deep into the mesaporium [20]. However, G. Erdtman [14] did not precisely define these two pollen types. For the Gomphrena-type we found that the walls between nearest pores never have spinules on the lateral surface and that the upper part of the wall never has the same structure as the lateral side of the wall (fig. 1). Therefore, mesoporial structure is a key feature for determination of pollen types of Amaranthaceae .
The majority of Amaranthaceae s.l. taxa have Amaranthus-type pollen. We examined pollen grain structure in groups of the family which are thought to retain many ancestral characteristics, in order to indicate the most conservative features. These conserved features of Amaranthus-type pollen appeared to be some structures of spinules, perforations, the size and number of pores, and the shape of mesoporium; these features appear to be evo-lutionarily significant for the family Amaranthaceae s.l. Pollen grains of Amaranthus-type with pore opercula or those of Gomphrena-type, belong to evolutionary advanced taxa within Amaranthaceae .
We developed a list of all evolutionary significant pollen features belonging to both types of pollen grains. The result was a classification of pollen into 19 groups. Pollen group 1 shows the most ancestral pollen structural features, while the last groups (19a-d, table) are the most derived. Pollen group 16-18 rep-
resents the previously-discussed Amaranthus type with stellate ornamentation of the oper-cula and groups 19b-d represent Gomphrena-type pollen.
The distribution these of pollen types across Amaranthaceae s.l. taxa was not uniform. Only group 1-6 pollen occurred in the Chenopodiaceae taxa examined in this study. Groups 1-6 were also observed in Amaranthaceae s.s. tribe Celosieae and tribe Amaran-theae subtribe Amaranthinae; a wide range of pollen groups occurred in the Amarantheae subtribe Aervinae—including the Gomphrena type 19b; and many Gomphrenoideae had one of the type 19 variants (table).

Geographical distribution of taxa of the Amaranthaceae s.s.
Almost all the Amaranthaceae s.s. genera with Gomphrena-type pollen derive from Central and South America and the Galapagos Islands. Exceptions are few: The genus Kyphocarpa (Fenzl) Lopr. is found in Asia and Psilotrichopsis C. Townsend occurs in Africa, as does one species of Sericocoma Fenzl. By contrast, most genera with Amaranthus-type pollen grains are found either entirely or largely in Africa with the exceptions of the genus Irenella Suesseng from the Americas, a small number of Asian genera (Allmania R. Br., Saltia R. Br., Stilbanthus Hook. f., Psilotrichopsis C. Townsend), and the Australian genera Nothosaerva Wight, Omegandra C. Townsend, and Ptilotus R. Br. The American genera Pfaffia and Iresine have both Amaranthus and Gomphrena pollen types.
Genera with Amaranthus-type pollen grains with stellate pore ornamentation or variants approximating it (pollen groups 15-18, table), are largely from Africa or from the Old World tropics with exception of the Australian Omegandra. Pollen grains of the South American genus Pseudoplantago Suesseng. not only have a stellate operculum but also an atypical cuboidal shape.
Discussion of the palynological data
Exceptions exist between the distribution of taxa observed on the basis of different pollen groups (including the evolutionarily ‘advanced’ pollen groups (12-19 in table) and the arrangement of taxa according to the classical systematics of Amaranthaceae. Significantly, these exceptions often correspond to the exceptions in geographical distributions discussed above. This suggests that some of these groups derived from a common ancestor which had genes with the potential to code for several pollen types. That is why, despite differences in pollen structures, certain taxa with different pollen types should still be grouped together.
The unique structure of pollen grains of some genera may, we believe, represent side branches of the evolutionary tree. For example, the genus Pseudoplantago (Gomphrena pollen type, group 19a) and the genus Herbstia Sohmer (Amaranthus pollen type with unusually large mesoporial perforations, group 12) might represent a high level of specialization. On the other hand, the group 19d pollen structure of the American genus Tidestromia Standley has pollen walls that are triangular
in cross-section (unusual for Gomphrena-type pollen) — a feature also found for pollen of some Chenopodiaceae [21]. This group may represent an early evolutionary branch within Amaranthaceae s.l. that developed separately from the main group of taxa with Gomphrenoid pollen grains.
Phylogenetic analysis
To provide a comparison with the pollen morphology of Amaranthaceae s.s., we used phylogenetic analysis of both matK and rbcL amino acid sequences (fig. 1). These proteins had been previously successful for determination of phylogenetic relationships among taxa of other angiosperm plants [22, 23, 24]. For both proteins, the trees we obtained by the NJ method were very similar to the trees obtained with the MP method. We display the MP consensus trees in fig. 2 (left ‘A’ = matK, right ‘C’ = rbcL).
Analyses of amino acid sequences for both the matK and rbcL proteins indicate that for Amaranthaceae s.l., species of Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae s.s. were relatively distantly related. Among Amaranthaceae s.s., the Celosieae tribe and the Amaranthinae subtribe of tribe Amarantheae were related. Several taxa from the Amarantheae subtribe Aervinae including Aerva, Centemopsis, Kyphocarpa, Mechowia, Nothosaerva, Omegandra, Psilotrichopsis, Psilotrichum, Pupalia, Sericocoma, and Trichuriella, together with those of the subfamily Gomphreno-ideae occurred as a separate, phylogenetically distinct group characterized largely by pollen types 12-19 (fig. 2).
Both of the dendrograms derived from the protein sequences of matK and rbcL, largely correspond with the palynomorphological types and subtypes of the Amaranthaceae s.s. (fig. 2). This indicates that palynomorphologi-cal data might be useful for determination of relationships between certain taxa of Amaranthaceae s.s. Dendrograms from some recent publication [22, 24] are confounded by data from the Chenopodiaceae, Caryophylla-ceae and some other taxa and do not reflect clearly the situation with relationships among the highly specialized taxa of Amaranthaceae s.s. We do not agree with K. Muller and T. Borsh [25] about multiple origins of the stellate pore ornamentation. According to our phylogenetic reconstruction, the subfamily Gomphrenoideae along with the some members of subtribe Aervinae of the tribe Amarantheae, subfamily Amaranthoideae share a common ancestor and form a distinct

A — mesoporium, B — pores, C — walls of luminas
clade. These taxa have clear differences from other taxa of Amaranthaceae according to both palynological and molecular data. Neither palynological nor molecular data support the traditional division of the tribe Gomphreneae into the two subtribes: Froelichiinae and Gomphreinae.
The occasional appearance of different types of pollen grains in the same taxonomic group may be explained by the presence of the
genetic information for several pollen types in the genome; different patterns of expression of these genes may make the pollen grains of closely related taxa different.
Bioinformatics data can thus serve as a useful tool and a source of new information to both complement and evaluate morphological methods and as an aid to identifying those ‘traditional’ morphological features that are taxonomically significant.

(A) Maximum Parsimony tree of matK amino acid sequence, 61 species;
(C) Maximum Parsimony tree of rbcL amino acid sequence, 46 species. Bootstrap values are shown for each branch if higher than 70% based on 1000 replicates;
(B) Electron micrographs and pictures of representative pollen groups (full list of pollen groups given here) from different traditional taxa.
(Chenopodiaceae s.s. — yellow, pollen types 1-6; ancestral Amaranthaceae s.s. — blue, pollen groups 1-6; derived Amaranthaceae s.s. — 2-locular anthers — red, pollen groups 1-18, 19b; derived Amaranthaceae s.s., 4-locular anthers — green, pollen groups 2, 6, 10, 12, 13, and 19a-d)
Thus palynological data as well as matK and rbcL sequences show that certain taxa traditionally part of Amaranthoideae, including at least Aerva, Centemopsis, Kyphocarpa, Mechowia, Nothosaerva, Omegandra, Psilo-trichopsis, Psilotrichum, Pupalia, Sericocoma, and Trichuriella, should be placed in Gomphrenoideae. As revised, Gomphrenoideae would then form a monophyletic clade originating from within a paraphyletic Amaranthoideae.
