Comprehensive analysis of the family Liliaceae Juss. on the territory of the Altai Mountain Country: taxonomy, ecology, arealogy and phylogeny

Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of the family Liliaceae Juss. was compiled on the basis of the conducted studies, office work and previously published data for the territory of the Altai Mountain Country, which made it possible to diversify all possible features of the species of the family. Using the materials of the NCBI, based on the fragments «rbcL» and «trnL-trnF», phylogenetic trees were obtained, a modular evolutionary analysis was carried out using external morphology data. Ecological and arealogical analyzes, in turn, provided an opportunity to refine data on the modern distribution of the family members in the study area. Arealogical analysis showed the predominance of the Asian group, whose representatives belong mainly to the North Asian and Siberian-Central Asian areas. Belt-zonal analysis of the family showed that most of the species belong to the mountainous-plain ecological-geographical group.
