Abstract

The plants of the families of Aegilopaceae Martinov and Andropogonaceae Martinov (Scutellopsida D.L.Fu) are closely related to human production and daily life, due to the important crops like wheat, maize, and sugarcane within the families. For familiar plants within the families, taxonomists tend to favor widely used names and more detailed classifications, which can result in taxonomic confusions of hierarchy. Using the minimum criterion PHS (phylogenetic similarity) ≤ 0.928 (inter genera) for genus classification by CPCG (chloroplast complete genomes) of Fructophyta D.L.Fu & H. Fu, total 14 current synonyms of seven genera of Andropogonaceae and 14 current synonyms of three genera of Aegilopaceae have been identified, 4 current synonyms of Saccharum L. including Erianthus Michaux., Imperata Cirillo, Miscanthus Andersson and Tripidium H. Schol, 1 synonym of Iseilema Andersson being Eremopogon Stapf, 5 synonyms of Dichanthium P. Willemet being Agenium Nees, Bothriochloa Kuntze, Capillipedium Stapf, Euclasta Franch. and Pseudanthistiria Hook. f., 1 synonym of Anatherum P. Beauv. being Elymandra Stapf, 1 synonym of Hyparrhenia Anderss. ex Fourn being Hyperthelia Clayton, 1 synonym of Zea L. being Tripsacum L., 1 synonym of Arthraxon P. Beauv. being Microstegium Nees, 10 synonyms of Cinna L. being Anthosachne Steud., Australopyrum (Tzvelev) Á. Löve, Campeiostachys Drobow, Connorochloa Barkworth, S. W. L. Jacobs & H. Q. Zhang, Dasypyrum (Coss. & Durieu) T. Durand, Douglasdeweya C. Yen, J. L. Yang & B. R. Baum, Kengyilia C. Yen & J. L. Yang, Pascopyrum Á. Löve, Pseudoroegneria (Nevski) Á. Löve and Thinopyrum Á. Löve, 1 synonym of Agropyron Gaertn. being Eremopyrum Jaub. & Spach, 3 synonyms of Aegilops L. being Crithopsis Jaub. & Spach, Taeniatherum Nevski and Triticum L. Additionally, 17 new specific names such as Agropyron qinghaica D.L.Fu, Arthraxon yunnanensis D.L.Fu, Hyparrhenia steudelii D.L.Fu, Elymus brownei Kunth ex D.L.Fu and Saccharum liuanum D.L.Fu, along with 221 new specific combinations like Aegilops aestiva (L.) D.L.Fu, Anatherum bicorne (L.) D.L.Fu, Dichanthium alpinum (H. Sun & Boufford) D.L.Fu, Iseilema foveolata (Delile) D.L.Fu and Zea dactyloides (L.) D.L.Fu have been validly and scientifically published. These publications will effectively resolve taxonomic nomenclature confusions in a scientific manner and establish a solid foundation for evolutionary system research within the new class Scutellopsida D.L.Fu.

1. Introduction

The families of Aegilopaceae Martinov and Andropogonaceae Martinov (Scutellopsida D.L.Fu) both were established in 1820, whose plants are closely related to human production and daily life, due to the important crops such as wheat, maize, and sugarcane within the families. Currently, both families have not been recognized by traditional taxonomy and modern phylogeny. The plants in the family Aegilopaceae are mainly classified into taxonomic rank supertribe Triticodae T. D. Macfarl. & L. Watson (1982) belonging to subfam. Pooideae Benth. (1861) of Poaceae Barnhart (1895)

[1-5]

, and the plants in the family Andropogonaceae are mainly classified into taxonomic taxa such as Trib. Andropogoneae Dumort. (1824), Trib. Maydeae Dumort. (1823) and Trib. Arundinelleae Stapf (1898) belonging to Panicoideae A. Br. of Poaceae

Already in ancient times, at the end of the second millennium BC, the domesticated wheats were divided into two major groups: free-threshing wheats and hulled wheats. This classification was also accepted by the early Greek taxonomists of the fourth century BC, Aristoteles, and Theophrastus, and by the first century Latin agronomist Columella, who classified the domesticated wheats in two sections, namely: Triticum — free-threshing wheats, and Zea — hulled wheats. This classification was more or less in use until the eighteenth century, when Linnaeus was the first to place all the domesticated wheats under a single genus, Triticum L. (1753)

[11]

. Thousands of years of cultivation and utilization have led to the identification of wheat as Triticum, deeply ingrained in human culture and favored by taxonomists for the establishment of the tribe Triticeae Dumort. (1824), subtribe Triticinae Fr. (1835) and supertribe Triticodae T. D. Macfarl. & L. Watson (1982). However, there is uncertainty and inconsistency in morphological circumscription between two genera of Aegilops L. (1753), nom. cons. and Triticum L. (1753)

[1, 2]

, despite the distinctions such as the absence of well-developed keel on the glumes

[1]

, or the glabrous rachis and a larger number of grains per spikelet in Aegilops L. to compare Triticum L.

[11]

. So, the genus Triticum L. may potentially be considered a synonym of the genus Aegilops L., yet no taxonomist has attempted to formally assign the widely used wheat genus to its correct name.

In another instance, phylogenetic analysis indicates a close relationship between the plants of the genus Tripsacum L. (1759) and maize plants of the genus Zea L. (1753)

[8]

. The genus Tripsacum L. may potentially be a synonym of Zea L.. However, no taxonomist has attempted to translate the genus into the well-known and widely used maize genus.

For familiar plants, taxonomists tend to favor widely used names and more detailed classifications, which can result in taxonomic confusions of hierarchy. Due to the lack of a scientific theory of hierarchy encompassing both traditional taxonomy and modern phylogeny, it is difficult to correct long-standing erroneous habits. To overcome these shortcomings, the new science evolutionomy has been developed with the publications of the evolutionary continuity principle, the evolutionary particularity principle, the theoretical monograph as the Theory and Practice of Evolutionomy, and so on

[12-19]

. The establishment, publication, and implementation of the minimum criterion PHS ≤ 0.928 (inter genera, CPCG) for the classification of genus of Fructophyta D.L.Fu & H. Fu has scientifically identified 79 current genus synonyms within the class Scutellopsida D.L.Fu of the phylum Fructophyta D.L.Fu & H. Fu., and the taxonomic confusions of the class has also been scientifically resolved to a certain extent

[16-19]

Numerous specific combinations have been published within the Andropogonaceae

[20-27]

and Aegilopaceae

[2, 28-35]

families by various taxonomists, However, most of these combinations are deemed invalid in accordance with Article 37.1 of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Melbourne Code, 2011), which states that a name published on or after 1 January 1953 without a clear indication of the rank of the taxon concerned is not validly published, along with other relevant articles. To scientifically resolve the evolutionary boundaries at the genus rank and clarify taxonomic names of certain species within the families, it is analyzed that the evolutionary relationships between the representative species from ten genera including Saccharum L. (1753), Iseilema Andersson (1856), Dichanthium P. Willemet (1796), Anatherum P. Beauv. (1812), Hyparrhenia Anderss. ex Fourn. (1886), Zea L. (1753), Arthraxon P. Beauv. (1812), Elymus L. (1753), Agropyron Gaertn. (1770) and Aegilops L. (1753), and their affinities and some relevant taxa respectively. Additionally, some relevant taxa of these ten genera are scientifically and validly emended in this paper.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. CPCG of Aegilopaceae & Andropogonaceae

Total 51 CPCG of Andropogonaceae and 32 CPCG of Aegilopaceae were selected from the NCBI database. Their current names, scientific names and CPCG numbers of NCBI are listed in Table 1 to Table 10.

2.2. Evolutionary Analyses of CPCG

The evolutionary analyses of CPCG mainly use the typical algorithm

[14-19]

to determine the relative evolutionary relationships between different taxa by comparing the phylogenetic similarity (PHS) between the designated type and target taxa. The formula is as follows:

PHS = \frac{SPHL}{APHL}

PHS = phylogenetic similarity between the type and objective taxon; SPHL = the number of same phylogenetic loci between the type and objective taxon; APHL = the number of all phylogenetic loci of the type; statistics of phylogenetic loci using Nucleotide Barcodes (17bp).

3. Results

3.1. Synonyms of Saccharum Genus

The PHS of CPCG of 8 species of Andropogonaceae using the type: Saccharum officinarum L. are analyzed, and the results are presented in Table 1.

Table 1. PHS of CPCG between Saccharum officinarum and some representative species of Andropogonaceae.

No.	Scientific Names and Numbers of CPCG in NCBI	Current Names	PHL/17bp	PHS
1	Saccharum officinarum_NC035224.1	Saccharum officinarum	117787	1
2	Saccharum ecklonii_LS974682.1	Miscanthus capensis	114293	0.970
3	Saccharum arundinaceum_NC030777.1	Erianthus arundinaceus	111755	0.949
4	Saccharum ravennae_NC042735.1	Tripidium ravennae	111746	0.949

8	Sarga versicolor_MT942630.1	Sarga versicolor	107203	0.910

From Table 1, it can be concluded that the four genera including Miscanthus Andersson, Erianthus Michaux., Tripidium H. Scholz and Imperata Cirillo are the synonyms of genus Saccharum L. using the type Saccharum officinarum L., owing to their evolutionary relationships with the type all not meeting the minimum criterion PHS (17bp) ≤ 0.928 (inter genera) for genus classification. Therefore, it is scientific to combine the genus Saccharum L. as follows.

Saccharum L., Sp. Pl. 1: 54. 1753. Type: Saccharum officinarum L. ─ Erianthus Michaux., Fl. Bor. Amer. 1: 54, 1803. Type: Saccharum giganteum (Walter) Pers. ─ Imperata Cirillo, Pl. Rar. Neapol. 2: XXVI. 1792. Type: Saccharum cylindricum (L.) Lam. ─ Miscanthus Andersson, Öfvers. Kongl. Vetensk.-Akad. Förh. 12: 165. 1855. Type: Saccharum ecklonii (Nees) Steud. ─ Tripidium H. Scholz, Willdenowia 36(2): 664. 2006, nom. inval. Type: Saccharum ravennae (L.) L..

5	Dichanthium bladhii_MT610049.1	Bothriochloa bladhii	103865	0.892

Table 2 shows that Eremopogon is a synonym of the genus Iseilema Andersson using the type Iseilema prostratum (L.) Andersson, because of its evolutionary relationship with the type being 0.932, not meeting the minimum criterion PHS (17bp) ≤ 0.928 (inter genera) for genus classification. Therefore, it is scientific to combine the genus Iseilema Andersson as follows.

Iseilema Andersson, Nova Acta Regiae Soc. Sci. Upsal. ser. 3, 2: 250. 1856. Type: Iseilema prostratum (L.) Andersson ─ Eremopogon Stapf, Fl. Trop. Afr. [Oliver et al.] 9(1): 182. 1917. Type: Iseilema foveolata (Delile) D.L.Fu.

About 28 species, in Asia & Oceania, including 3 new specific combinations.

3.3. Synonyms of Dichanthium Genus

The PHS of CPCG of 9 species of Andropogonaceae using the type Dichanthium bladhii (Retz.) D.L.Fu are analyzed, and the results are presented in Table 3.

Table 3. PHS of CPCG between Dichanthium bladhii and some representative species of Andropogonaceae.

9	Saccharum ravennae_NC042735.1	Tripidium ravennae	104417	0.910

From Table 3, it can be concluded that using the type of Dichanthium bladhii (Retz.) D.L.Fu, the five genera: Agenium Nees, Bothriochloa Kuntze, Capillipedium Stapf, Euclasta Franch., and Pseudanthistiria Hook. f. are synonyms of the genus Dichanthium P. Willemet, on account of their evolutionary relationships with the type all not meeting the minimum criterion PHS (17bp) ≤ 0.928 (inter genera) for genus classification. Therefore, it is scientific to combine the genus Dichanthium P. Willemet as follows.

Dichanthium P. Willemet, Ann. Bot. (Usteri) 18: 11 (-12). 1796. Type: Dichanthium annulatum (Forssk.) Stapf. ─ Agenium Nees, Intr. Nat. Syst. Bot., ed. 2. 447. 1836.

From Table 4, it can be concluded that using the type of Anatherum thollonii (Franch.) D.L.Fu, the genus Elymandra Stapf (No. 20) is a synonym of the genus Anatherum P. Beauv., for its evolutionary relationship with the type being 0.936, not meeting the minimum criterion PHS (17bp) ≤ 0.928 (inter genera) for genus classification. In addition, there are 14 species within the genus Andropogon L. and 5 species within the genus Schizachyrium Nees being the real species of Anatherum P. Beauv.. Therefore, the latest combination of the genus Anatherum P. Beauv. is as follows.

Anatherum P. Beauv., Ess. Agrostogr. 128, 150. 1812. Lectotype: Anatherum bicorne (L.) D.L.Fu. ─ Elymandra Stapf, Fl. Trop. Afr. [Oliver et al.] 9(3): 407. 1919. Type: Anatherum androphilum (Stapf) D.L.Fu.

5. Conclusion

The reliance of humans on cultivated plants can result in cultural influences, leading to variations in classification and nomenclature practices that subsequently impact the scientific hierarchy. The minimum criterion for genus classification by CPCG of Fructophyta D.L.Fu & H. Fu, a crucial and rigorously scientific tool, can effectively mitigate the subjectivity and partiality of traditional taxonomy and modern phylogeny, scientifically identify genus synonyms, and resolve taxonomic nomenclature confusions within the new phylum. Utilizing this minimum criterion has led to the identification of 14 current synonyms such as Imperata Cirillo and Tripsacum L. across seven genera of Andropogonaceae and 14 current synonyms like Triticum L. across three genera of Aegilopaceae. Additionally, 17 new specific names and 221 new specific combinations have been scientifically and validly published in the paper, including Aegilops aestiva (L.) D.L.Fu, Saccharum liuanum D.L.Fu, and Zea dactyloides (L.) D.L.Fu. These publications will effectively establish a solid foundation for accurate application of plant taxonomic names — especially in agriculture and forestry — address taxonomic nomenclature confusions in a scientific manner and provide a scientific basis for evolutionary system research within the new class Scutellopsida D.L.Fu of the new phylum Fructophyta D.L.Fu & H. Fu.
