Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An annual Echinochloa with plagiotropic tillers (semi-erect type) was found on a paddy levee in Miyagi prefecture in Japan. This semi-erect type had tetraploid chromosome numbers (2n = 36) and would be expected to be E. oryzicola. However, its appearance was distinct from that of E. oryzicola. In this study, to clarify its distribution and habitat, exploration and collection surveys were carried out in the northern part of Honshu. In addition, the genetic relationships between the semi-erect type and other Echinochloa species was examined using phylogenetic analysis based on DNA sequence data. The semi-erect type was distributed from Hokkaido to Nagano Prefecture, and located in paddy fields, abandoned paddy fields, paddy levees, roadsides, vacant land, and scree slopes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the semi-erect type is a subspecies or a close relative of E. oryzicola.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
日本の多くの水田雑草は、水田稲作の渡来に付随して日本国内に侵入し、拡散したと考えられてきた。本研究では、典型的な史前帰化植物とされているタイヌビエであっても、一部の系統は日本国内に生育していたものからの雑草化で誕生した可能性を示しており、日本における水田雑草の誕生過程を考える上で意義深い提案をしている。また、ヒエ属植物は多くの耕地雑草を含んでおり、雑草として重要な属である。新しいヒエ属植物の実態を解明したことはそれらの防除および管理を進める上でも重要と考える。
