Abstract:
Recent collections from marine and freshwater locations have
enabled the investigation of diversity of Prasiola in Japan.
Sequence data from the rbcL and tufA markers revealed the
presence of three marine species and one freshwater species.
Prasiola delicata was confirmed to occur on Daikokujima, Prasiola
calophylla was found for the first time in Japan from
Hokkaido, and a species within the P. meridionalis/linearis/stipitata
complex was found on both Hokkaido and Daikokujima.
Collections from a range of populations of freshwater Prasiola,
identified here as P. japonica, were found to be conspecific
and identical in rbcL and tufA sequences to freshwater collections
from Nepal, Korea, and China.
