8.2.2. Phylogenetic analysis
DNA sequences were edited and aligned by using Clustal W. All characters were treated as equally weighted and unordered. Maximum
Parsimony MP analysis was performed with PAUP 4.0b10 Swofford 1998 using the heuristic search option with 100 random replicates of stepwise data
addition with TBR swapping and Multrees set to 200 trees limit. Boostrap analysis Felsenstein 1985 was performed with 200 replicates to evaluate internal support.
Athyrium filix-femina, A. distentifolium, A. niponicum, A. sheareri. A.vidalii and
A. yokoscence were selected as outgroup taxa.
8.3. Results and Discussion
Chloroplast rbcL gene sequences of 25 species of Diplazium from West Malesia were newly generated Table 1. Length of the sequences of the 29
species are varying, from 640 to 1445 base pair bp. There are many missing data on gene between pair number 722 – 1445. Therefore 721-bp region from the
pair number 1 to 721 were used to make comparison between two cytotypes in a species or among the closely related species and used for phylogenetic analysis.
However the 721-pb region possess many informative characters, viz. 544 75.
8.3.1. Infraspecific Genetic Diversity in Diplazium
Intraspecific nucleotides differences in Diplazium are showed in Table 8.3. The differences among individuals in the same species are 0 – 5 nucleotides,
but in D. dilatatum, D. procumbens and D. subvirescens. There are not any differences on gene rbcL squences in D. esculentum, D. polypodioides, D.
subserratum, D.simplicivenium, D. silvaticum, and D. xiphophyllum
TNgP1717 - 1719
. As revealed in Chapter 5, the two first species are diploid. D. subserratum showed diploid, triploid and tetraploid. D. simplicivenium and D. silvaticum are
triploid and tetraploid, respectively. Whereas the voucher specimen of the last species was not know its chromosomes number. These results indicate that these
species are autoploid.
162 The diploid and tetraploid of D. pallidum differ from each other by five
nucleotides between pair number 74 – 721. There are missing data on the diploid TNgP 1406 on pair number 1-73. Takamiya et al 2001 reported genetic
comparison between triploid and tetraploid of Diplazium doederleinii. The two cytotypes differ from each other by only two nucleotides in the rbcL sequences,
and there are no variations in cytotype except for a single plant of the triploid. Tabel 8.3. Infraspecific Genetic Variaton of Diplazium based on Gene rbcL

163 The high number of nucleotides differences of D. dilatatum, D.
procumbens and D. subvirescens are presumed to due they are hybrid. In Java,
the three species mentioned above are triploid apogamous. However their putative parents have not been found. Further study are needed to prove this suggestion.
