• Insular environment-dependent introgression from an arid-grassland orchid to a wetland orchid on an oceanic island

  Kenji Suetsugu, Shun K Hirota, Masayuki Ishibashi, Kenya Ishida, Hiroshi Hayakawa, Yoshihisa Suyama

  Adaptive introgression plays a vital role in allowing recipient species to adapt and colonize new environments. However, our understanding of such environment-dependent introgressions is primarily limited to specific plant taxa in particular settings. In Japan, two related orchid species, the autonomously self-pollinating Pogonia minor and the outcrossing Pogonia japonica, typically inhabit dry grasslands and wetlands, respectively. Intriguingly, an island ecotype of P. japonica exists in arid, wind-swept, open sites on volcanic mountain slopes on Kozu Island, in the oceanic Izu Islands. To investigate potential introgression and its implications between P. japonica and P. minor on Kozu Island, we applied a comprehensive approach that included examining morphological traits, genome-wide SNP data, and plastid DNA sequences. We also examined the breeding systems of these species on Kozu Island through artificial pollination experiments to determine if introgression from P. minor has endowed the P. japonica ecotype with selfing capabilities. Extensive sampling on Kozu Island revealed that all P. japonica specimens exhibit signs of introgression from P. minor, suggesting the absence of pure P. japonica populations on the island. Furthermore, the chloroplast haplotypes of the insular P. japonica ecotype consistently match those of P. minor, indicating a predominantly asymmetrical initial hybridization with P. minor acting mainly as the maternal parent in the formation of F1 hybrids. Despite the advantages of self-fertilization in isolated environments, the insular P. japonica does not exhibit autogamy. Consequently, the scarcity of moist habitats, rather than selection pressure for selfing, likely contributes to the observed widespread introgression. Our study strongly suggests that the arid-environment-adapted P. minor has introgressed into the insular ecotype of P. japonica, enabling its successful colonization of arid volcanic mountain slopes of the oceanic island.

• Earwigs and woodlice as some of the world's smallest internal seed dispersal agents: Insights from the ecology of Monotropastrum humile (Ericaceae)

  Kenji Suetsugu, Osamu Kimura‐Yokoyama, Shumpei Kitamura

  Societal Impact Statement: This study illuminates the underappreciated role of invertebrates in seed dispersal, extending beyond the well-documented contributions of ants. Focusing on Monotropastrum humile (銀竜草 [silver dragon plant] or 水晶蘭 [crystal orchid]), a non-photosynthetic plant known for its minuscule, dust-like seeds, the present research uncovers their seed dispersal roles of woodlice and earwigs in Japan. Remarkably, these invertebrates include the smallest known endozoochorous seed dispersers. Summary: Endozoochory, or internal seed dispersal through the digestive tracts of animals, has been less studied in invertebrates compared with vertebrates. Nonetheless, endozoochory is plausible whenever seeds are small enough for ingestion by frugivorous animals, suggesting a potential role for invertebrates in seed dispersal, especially for plants with minute seeds. Monotropastrum humile (Ericaceae), characterized by its fleshy fruits and dust-like seeds, is known to utilize invertebrate agents such as camel crickets and cockroaches for seed dispersal. Here, we investigate this seed dispersal mechanism using time-lapse photography, feeding experiments, and seed coat anatomy analysis, particularly focusing on interactions among undocumented invertebrate internal seed dispersers. Field observations indicated that in the studied population, M. humile fruits were primarily consumed by camel crickets, woodlice, and earwigs. Their effectiveness as seed dispersers varied, with camel crickets primarily acting as dispersers, whereas earwigs and woodlice were more inclined toward seed predation. Nonetheless, some seeds defecated by earwigs and woodlice remained intact, suggesting that they could also function as dispersal agents. The woodlouse Porcellio scaber is now recognized as the world's smallest internal seed dispersal agent. Combined with earlier discoveries, such as seed dispersal by camel crickets, cockroaches, and ants, and the fact that P. scaber is an exotic species in the study site, M. humile likely depends on a broad spectrum of local invertebrates. The engagement of multiple invertebrate dispersers may enhance seed dispersal across diverse habitats.

• Fungus gnat pollination in Arisaema urashima: the interplay of lethal traps and mutualistic nurseries

  K. Suetsugu, H. Nishigaki, R. Sato, S. Kakishima, E. Ishitani, S. Fukushima, S. Sugiura, M. Sueyoshi

  Abstract While most flowering plants engage in mutualistic interactions with their pollinators, Arisaema species employ a unique, seemingly antagonistic strategy by imprisoning and causing the pollinators to perish within their spathes. Recent studies have revealed that Arisaema thunbergii primarily relies on a fungus gnat, Leia ishitanii, with some individuals possibly escaping female spathes after oviposition. We investigated interactions between A. urashima and its pollinating fungus gnats, given that A. urashima is closely related to A. thunbergii. Specifically, we tested whether decaying A. urashima serve as brood‐sites for some pollinators and whether these pollinators can escape seemingly lethal floral traps. We retrieved A. urashima spathes together with adult insect corpses trapped within the spathes and incubated the spathes to see if conspecific insects emerged. In addition, under laboratory conditions, we observed the escape behaviour of Sciophila yokoyamai, whose next‐generation adults most frequently emerge from the decaying spathes. Our findings indicate that S. yokoyamai almost always escapes from the female spathe after oviposition while using the inflorescence as a nursery. In contrast, other pollinators of A. urashima, including Mycetophila spp., remain trapped and perished within the spathes. This study demonstrates that A. urashima spathes can function both as lethal traps and mutualistic nurseries, with outcomes differing among pollinator species. Our results also suggest that the contribution of certain pollinators to Arisaema reproduction is underestimated or even neglected, given that information on their pollinator assemblages has been based on floral visitors trapped within the inflorescences.

• Do exchangeable hydrogens affect the evaluation of partial mycoheterotrophy in orchids? Insights from δ2H analysis in bulk, α-cellulose, and cellulose nitrate samples.

  Ryuta Yagi, Takashi F Haraguchi, Ichiro Tayasu, Kenji Suetsugu

  Summary To evaluate the nutritional modes of orchids associated with ‘rhizoctonia’ fungi, analyses of hydrogen (δ²H), carbon (δ¹³C), and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) stable isotope ratios are usually adopted. However, previous studies have not fully accounted for exchangeable hydrogens, which could affect these evaluations. Here, we performed standard δ¹³C, δ¹⁵N, and δ²H analyses on bulk samples. Additionally, we conducted δ²H analysis on α‐cellulose and cellulose nitrate samples to investigate whether the heterogeneity of exchangeable hydrogens among plant species influences the assessment of nutritional modes. The δ²H of orchids were consistently higher than those of surrounding autotrophic plants, irrespective of the three pretreatments. Although the rhizoctonia‐associated orchid exhibited lower δ¹³C, its δ²H was higher than those of the autotrophs. Notably, among all response variables, δ¹⁵N and δ²H exhibited high abilities for discriminating the nutritional modes of rhizoctonia‐associated orchids. These results indicate that a time‐efficient bulk sample analysis is an effective method for evaluating plant nutritional modes, as the heterogeneity of exchangeable hydrogens does not significantly impact the estimation. Using δ¹⁵N and δ²H benefits the assessment of partial mycoheterotrophy among rhizoctonia‐associated orchids.

• Unlikely allies: Camel crickets play a role in the seed dispersal of an Asian autotrophic shrub

  Kenji Suetsugu, Hirokazu Tsukaya

  Dust seeds, which are minute and contain minimal energy reserves, are often associated with heterotrophy (plants that obtain carbon without photosynthesis). Consequently, previous studies have mainly focused on the relationships between dust seeds and heterotrophy. However, dust seeds are also found in green plants. This manuscript focuses on the seed ecology of the apparently autotrophic shrub Rhynchotechum discolor that produces dust seeds. Using time-lapse photography, feeding experiments, and germination tests, we show that camel crickets effectively disperse the seeds of this autotrophic shrub. This is the first study to document insect-mediated internal seed dispersal of an autotrophic plant in regions inhabited by terrestrial mammals, offering new insights into the evolutionary ecology of dust seeds.

• Taxonomic revision of the formerly monotypic orchid genus Dactylostalix

  KENJI SUETSUGU, SHUN K HIROTA, TAKAHIRO YAGAME, TOMOHISA YUKAWA, YOSHIHISA SUYAMA

  The Calypsoinae orchid genus Dactylostalix, previously considered a monotypic genus endemic to Japan and the Russian Far East (the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Island), is now redefined to encompass two species. This reclassification is based not only on the examination of type specimens and literature but also on molecular data. While Pergamena uniflora has long been regarded as a synonym of Dactylostalix ringens, it is distinguishable by its shorter scape, smaller flower, less spotted tepals, drooping sepals and lateral petals, labellum with smaller, narrowly triangular to ovate lateral lobes, more distinct keels on the adaxial surface of the lip, and a slender column with a smaller stigma and weakly developed clinandrium. We propose the new combination Dactylostalix uniflora, recognizing it as a distinct species within the genus Dactylostalix. Phylogenetic analysis utilizing genome-wide markers has also demonstrated that the two species are genetically distinct. Our findings, obtained through the integration of morphological data and molecular phylogenetics, indicate that D. uniflora represents a distinct evolutionary lineage from D. ringens. Examination of type specimens has led us to conclude that Calypso japonica, Dactylostalix maculosa, and Dactylostalix ringens f. punctatus are junior synonyms of D. ringens. Additionally, we designate the lectotypes for P. uniflora (= D. uniflora), C. japonica, and D. maculosa.

• Back from the dead: A fungus gnat pollinator turns Arisaema lethal trap into nursery

  Kenji Suetsugu, Hiroki Nishigaki, Satoshi Kakishima, Masahiro Sueyoshi, Shinji Sugiura

  The research explores the complex interaction between flowering plants and their pollinators, specifically focusing on the genus Arisaema. Unlike most plants, Arisaema has a distinctive trait in which killing pollinators can be beneficial. Traditionally, this interaction has been viewed as highly antagonistic because it appears to favor the plants at the expense of the pollinators. However, new evidence reveals that a pollinator uses the lethal floral trap of Arisaema thunbergii as a nursery. Remarkably, some individuals probably even escape from the trap after laying eggs. This finding challenges the prevailing notion that deceptive pollination is the sole outcome in Arisaema, a genus known for its intricate lethal pollination mechanisms.

• Clarification of the Type of Lecanorchis kiusiana (Vanilleae, Vanilloideae, Orchidaceae)

  Kenji Suetsugu, Hirokazu Fukunaga, Tian-Chuan Hsu

  We found that the sheet TNS111013 that has been treated as the holotype of Lecanorchis kiusiana Tuyama (Orchidaceae) comprises more than one gathering and even more than one taxon. The fruiting individual on the left side of the sheet, with larger habit, distinctly longer capsules and thicker stems, can be identified as L. japonica Blume. Therefore, the fruiting individual are excluded from the type material. The flowering stalks and dissected flowers on the sheet also do not belong to the gathering that Tuyama (1955) cited as the type, since they were collected on a different date. Nonetheless, since the figures and description of floral parts in the protologue are based on the specimen of flowering plants and dissected flowers, flowering plants and dissected flowers could be considered as paratypes. Consequently, the center- and right-hand fruiting individuals on the sheet TNS111013 should be designated as the holotype.

Lecanorchis taiwaniana can be distinguished from its morphologically similar taxa L. nigricans by a combination of several characteristics such as including the longer peduncles, rachis, and internodes, the narrower sepals and petals, the slightly 3-lobed labellum, the column that’s more than half fused with the labellum and the dark brown, ascending capsules.

  Flies infesting orchid flowers and fruits were collected from 16 orchid species from nine prefectures in Japan. Fifteen orchid species collected from Fukushima to Kumamoto Prefectures were infested by Japanagromyza tokunagai（Sasakawa）. These results suggest that this agromyzid fly feeds on a wide range of orchid species, and is widely distributed in Japan. On the other hand, two orchids were injured by Chyliza vittata Meigen. Because these orchids were collected from Hokkaido Prefecture or high-altitude areas in Yamanashi Prefecture, this fly species seems to be distributed in cool temperate areas, but further investigations are required.

• Transcriptomic and metabolomic reprogramming from roots to Haustoria in the parasitic plant, Thesium chinense

  Most of plants show remarkable developmental plasticity in the generation of diverse types of new organs upon external stimuli, allowing them to adapt to their environment. Haustorial formation in parasitic plants is an example of such developmental reprogramming, but its molecular mechanism is largely unknown. In this study, we performed field-omics using transcriptomics and metabolomics to profile the molecular switch occurring in haustorial formation of the root parasitic plant, Thesium chinense, collected from its natural habitat. RNA-sequencing with de novo assembly revealed that the transcripts of very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) biosynthesis genes, auxin biosynthesis/signaling-related genes, and lateral root developmental genes are highly abundant in the haustoria. Gene co-expression network analysis identified a network module linking VLCFA and auxin-responsive lateral root development pathway. GC-TOF-MS analysis consistently revealed a unique metabolome profile with many types of fatty acids in the T. chinense root system, including the accumulation of a 25-carbon long chain saturated fatty acid in the haustoria. Our field-omics data provide evidence supporting the hypot

• Phylogenetic Background of the Glabrous and Early Blooming Spiranthes sinensis (Orchidaceae) Collected in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japanese Mainland

  Suetsugu K, Hayakawa H

  The orchid Spiranthes sinensis has been classified into separate varieties based on the presence or absence of hairs on their inflorescence stems and ovaries: S. sinensis var. amoena, which is considered puberulous, and S. sinensis var. sinensis, which is glabrous. The current study analyzed the internal transcribed spacer region of the nuclear DNA and the trnL–F intergenic spacer region of the chloroplast DNA to characterize the glabrous population of S. sinensis found in Kumamoto Pref., Japan. The results indicated that the DNA sequences of the Kumamoto specimens were identical to those of S. sinensis var. amoena, which infers that these glabrous specimens should be considered a hairless variant of S. sinensis var. amoena rather than a new distribution record for S. sinensis var. sinensis. The current study also found that the flowering season of the S. sinensis population in Kumamoto Pref. was somewhat earlier than usual for S. sinensis var. amoena (late March to late April vs. June for S. sinensis in Kumamoto Pref. and usual S. sinensis var. amoena, respectively), indicating that the Kumamoto population is ecologically distinct from typical S. sinensis var. amoena.

  Suetsugu Kenji

  A new species, Gastrodia takeshimensis Suetsugu (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae, Gastrodieae) from Takeshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, is described and illustrated. Its elongated corolla tube suggests a close affinity to G. nipponica, but it is easily distinguished from G. nipponica by its narrower and enclosed perianth tube, a lip that is joined with the perianth tube without any appendage , and a taller inflorescence during the flowering period.

• A Peloric Form of Cymbidium nagifolium (Orchidaceae)

  SUETSUGU KENJI

  A new, peloric form of Cymbidium nagifolium Masam., discovered within a population in Miyazaki Prefecture, southern Japan, is described. The peloric form can be categorized as Type B peloria where the labellum is replaced by a third petal resembling the lateral petals. The mutation may be widespread within the population, since three individuals from different locations had peloric flowers.

  SUETSUGU KENJI, NAKAMA MASAKAZU, WATANABE TAZUKO, WATANABE HIROMITSU, YAMAMOTO TOSHIRO, YOKOTA MASATSUGU

  Flowering individuals of a species of Gastrodia (Orchidaceae) with a closed perianth tube, a petaloid lip without appendages or calluses, and a column with a large, bifid ventral appendage were discovered in the northern part of Okinawa Island, Okinawa Prefecture, the Ryukyus. This combination of characters is known only in Gastrodia clausa, a recently described species from Taiwan. The characteristics of the Okinawan plants agree with the description of G. clausa. We therefore conclude that our plants represent the first record of G. clausa in Japan.

• 鳥類の捕食による昆虫の次世代の産出と新たな分布拡大メカニズム

  横山 岳, 末次 健司, 伊藤 克彦

  日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業 挑戦的研究(萌芽), 挑戦的研究(萌芽), 東京農工大学, 09 Jul. 2021 - 31 Mar. 2024

  本研究の目的は、未受精卵を体内に持つ昆虫が鳥に捕食され、排泄された未消化の卵の単為発生率やその単為発生卵から孵化した個体の遺伝形質から、どのようなメカニズムで次世代が生じたのかを解析することである。 今年度、鳥類に昆虫の未受精卵が食下された場合、鳥の体温および消化液の酸により未授精卵の単為発生が誘発されると考えられ、カイコガの卵巣卵（未受精卵）に高温（温湯）処理を施すことによって誘発される単為発生個体について、その発生機構について遺伝学的に検討を行った。 温湯処理によってカイコ未受精卵の80％以上が単為発生した。その単為発生した卵から得られた個体の性状は母親と遺伝形質を示し、不還元型の単為発生が誘発されていた。カイコは2n=56であり、28本の染色体を一対有している。母親と単為発生個体の性染色体以外の27本の染色体構成をそれぞれの染色体上の分子マーカをPCRにより解析し、母蛾と単為発生個体が同じ染色体構成であることを明らかにした。また性染色体については交配実験から次代の性比および性クロマチン数を調査することによって、母蛾と単為発生個体が同じであること明らかにした。28本のすべての染色体構成が母親と同じことから、温湯処理によって誘発された不還元型の単為発生個体は母親のクローン個体であることが明らかにした。また、単為発生個体の細胞の数％が倍数化し、4n細胞も僅かだが混在することが示された。 これらの遺伝学的解析結果から、鳥類にカイコガの未授精卵が食下され、未受精卵が不還元型の単為発生した場合、その単為発生個体は母親と同じ遺伝子型のクローン個体であることが推定された。

  これまで菌根共生の進化生態学的研究では、植物と菌根菌が互いに良いパートナーを選別できることが前提とされており、菌根菌に寄生する植物がどのように出現したのかは、大きな謎でした。本研究では、同一植物種において独立栄養性と菌従属栄養性の個体を自在に作出できる培養系と野外サンプルを用いた収斂解析で得られる知見を統合し、分野横断型のアプローチで、植物が菌根菌を騙すことを可能にしたメカニズムに迫ります。


• Evolution of floral mimicry: unveiling the mechanisms underlying mimicry of carrion, fermented substrates and mushrooms

  OKUYAMA YUDAI

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, 01 Apr. 2019 - 31 Mar. 2022

  We analyzed the overall patterns of floral scent profiles in the whole Heterotropa (genus Asarum; Aristolochiaceae) lineage and revealed that different species of dipeterans are pollinating on the 10 Heterotropa species. The floral scent profiles were further mapped onto the phylogeny of Heterotropa and used to identify the genes whose expression patterns are associated with the traits. In Arisaema (Araceae), we discovered not only the mushroom mimicry but also the possible cases of sexual mimicry. From the overview of these plant lineages, we have proposed that pollinator deception mechanism could be the key in the adaptive radiation of these plants.


• Elucidation of genetic differentiation process of a parasitic plant, Phacellanthus tubiflorus, through changes of host and reproduction mode

  Hayakawa Hiroshi

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Museum of Natural and Environmental History, Shizuoka, 01 Apr. 2019 - 31 Mar. 2022

  Results of analyses of MIG-Seq and Flow Cytometry showed that Phacellanthus tubiflorus tended to be genetically divided into three clades. Each clade of P. tubiflorus corresponded to the polyploidy, i.e., diploid, triplople, and tetraploploid, rather than a regionality derived from geographic distance. According to previous reports (Nakanishi et al. 2006), it has been thought that triploids of P. tubiflorus are generated by hybridization between diploids and tetraploploids. However, from the distribution with the results of MIG-Seq, it was found that triploploids of P. tubiflorus were at least not the F1 hybrids of them. These facts suggest that diploids, triploploids, and tetraploploids of P. tubiflorus may each begin to speciate as their own lineage.


• 鳥類の被食が駆動する昆虫の長距離分散: 摂食実験および遺伝構造パターンによる検証

  植物は、様々な方法を用いて種子を遠くへ運び、分布域の拡大を図っている。その主要な方法の一つに、果肉を報酬として鳥に種子散布を託す方法（被食鳥散布）がある。一方で多くの鳥は、果実だけではなく、昆虫も重要な餌資源としている。そこで我々は、卵を持ったメス昆虫が鳥に摂食された場合に、未消化のまま卵が排泄されることで分散に寄与することがあるという仮説を立て、摂食実験を通してこの仮説を検証することにした。こうした鳥による被食を介した分散が成立するには、「卵殻が丈夫である」、「ふ化した幼虫が自力で餌場に到達する」、「単為生殖する」といった条件が必要である。そこで、これらの条件を満たすナナフシの卵をヒヨドリに摂食させた。その結果、多くの卵は破壊される一方で、無傷で排泄され、ふ化する卵もあることが明らかになった。 鳥に食べられても子孫を残す可能性を示す本成果は、昆虫が鳥に捕食されると例外なく死に至るものだという常識を覆すものである。地味な見た目をしていることからもわかる通り，ナナフシが積極的に鳥に食べられ分散している可能性は極めて低いと思われる。とはいえ、ナナフシの多くは、翅をもたず能動的な分散能力が極めて低いことが知られている。よって偶発的で低頻度なイベントであったとしても鳥による捕食が、移動分散や分布拡大、異なる個体群間での遺伝子交流に重要な役割を果たしている可能性もある。現在、ナナフシの全国的な遺伝構造を把握に努めており、鳥による捕食を介したナナフシの長距離分散が実際にどの程度の頻度で起こっているのかを検討していく予定である。

• Exploring the mechanism for complex petal morphogenesis: integration of the proximate and ultimate factors

  Takeda Seiji

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Kyoto Prefectural University, 01 Apr. 2018 - 31 Mar. 2021

  We investigated the morphology of the labellum in the white egret flower from viewpoints of (1) the genetic and cellular mechanisms of morphogenesis and (2) the co-evolution with pollinators. By comprehensive transcriptome analysis with RNA-sequencing, we identified transcription factors expressed in the labellum. We found that early cell division and later polar cell elongation were important during formation of labellum serration. The hawkmoth visited flowers and sucked honey with hovering but not landing on the flowers, and that elimination of the serration from labellum affected the fruit set and seed weight.

Although this evolutionary process has received attention in recent years, previous studies have focused only on fungal functions, and the evolution of the loss of photosynthetic function has not been elucidated. In this study, we used the genus Neottia (Orchidaceae) to elucidate the evolutional level of mycoheterotrophy. Then, we clarified for the first time the mechanisms how the photosynthetic function was lost during the evolution of mycoheterotrophy, using plant physiological methods such as photosynthetic oxygen production rate analysis and photosynthesis-related gene analysis.

  In this study, we performed genetic analysis on two complete cleistogamous species and their ancestral species using newly developed microsatellite markers. Microsatellite analysis suggested the loss their variation at the microsatellite locus and the fixation to one allele in two complete cleistogamous species Gastrodia takeshimensis and G. kuroshimensis. Their ancestral species with opened flowers, G. nipponica and G. fontinalis, showed multiple alleles at the species or population level in several microsatellite loci, but their allelic variation was low. It is suggested that they are mainly propagated by self-fertilization, although they have open flowers. Self-breeding may have been established before the cleistogamous flower evolution in Gastrodia species.

  So far, researches on mycoheterotrophy have focused on host identification. Therefore, I have developed a multifaceted approach to elucidate the evolution of mycoheterotrophs. As a result, I found that mycoheterotrophs have evolved not only by acquiring parasitic ability but also by special adaptation to pollination and seed dispersal. I also revealed that molecular basis of mycorrhizal symbiosis in mycoheterotrophs is largely shared with that of typical mycorrhizal mutualisms.

  Several plant lineages have evolved dependence upon other organisms for their carbon demands, and consequently can be categorized as heterotrophs. Although the evolutionary shift to a heterotrophic lifestyle has liberated these plants from some of the physiologic burdens of photosynthesis, this may not come without costs. Actually, my studies have revealed novel breeding and seed dispersal systems imposed by a heterotrophic lifestyle. Superficially, the transition to an achlorophyllous status may appear to represent a loss of function, which could occur easily in mixotrophs that have already acquired the capacity for parasitism. However, the results of my investigations suggest that the transition to mycoheterotrophy and an achlorophyllous status requires the joint evolution of several aspects of their life history, including breeding and seed dispersal systems, which are apparently unrelated to a heterotrophic lifestyle.

  従属栄養植物は、開花期以外は地上に姿を現さないため、分布情報すら明らかではない種が多く、生態学的な研究を行うには困難が伴った。そこで私は、従属栄養植物の精力的な探索と記載分類を地道に行い、詳細な研究を遂行するための土台を作成した。その上で、野外観察から分子生物学的手法に至る様々な手法を駆使し、従属栄養植物の実態に迫る研究を展開してきた。 特筆すべき点として、これまで注目されていなかった地上部での適応を含め検討したことが挙げられる。例えば、大半の従属栄養植物は虫媒の植物から起源しているが、それらの生育場所は薄暗い林床であり、ハナバチなどの訪花性見虫の賑わいとは無縁の世界である。このような環境に生育する従属栄養植物は、薄暗い林床で受粉を達成しなければならない。そこで従属栄養植物の送粉様式を調査したところ、多くの種類が昆虫に受粉を頼らずにすむ自動自家受粉を採用していることを明らかにした。こうした自殖の進化は暗い林床で確実に繁殖するのに役立つたと考えられる。しかし、暗い環境に進出可能な見虫を送粉者として利用できれば、林床でも他殖を行うことが可能かもしれない。このような例として、私は、ヤツシロラン節の多くの種が、ショウジョウバエ媒を採用していることを発見した。 また従属栄養植物の種子散布様式についても興味深い知見が得られた。そもそも従属栄養植物は、その寄生性ゆえに、胚乳などの養分を持たない非常に小さな種子を作る。そのため、従属栄養性と風による種子散布の間には関連があると考えられてきた。しかしながら暗く風通しの悪い林床では風散布は不適であるため、完全に光合成をやめた従属栄養植物の一部は、液果をつけ、周食動物散布を再獲得していることが明らかになった。
