Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular evolution and phylogenetic implications of internal transcribed spacer sequences of Ribosomal DNA in Winteraceae
TL;DR: The internal transcribed spacers and the 5.8S coding region of nuclear ribosomal DNA were sequenced and analyzed to address questions of generic relationships in Winteraceae and generated a single tree that is congruent with one based on morphological data.
Book ChapterDOI
Ribosomal RNA as a Phylogenetic Tool in Plant Systematics
TL;DR: The traditional classification of plants into respective classes, orders, families, genera, and species has until recently been based on shared morphologic, cytologic, biochemical, and ecologic traits but the development of techniques in molecular biology has provided many new tools for the investigation of phylogenetic relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Family-level relationships of Onagraceae based on chloroplast rbcL and ndhF data
Rachel A. Levin,Warren L. Wagner,Peter C. Hoch,Molly Nepokroeff,J. Chris Pires,Elizabeth A. Zimmer,Kenneth J. Sytsma +6 more
TL;DR: Results strongly support a monophyletic Onagraceae, with Ludwigia as the basal lineage and a sister-taxon relationship between Megacorax and Lopezia, and Gongylocarpus is supported as sister to Epilobieae plus the rest of Onagreae, although relationships within the latter clade have limited resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of basal angiosperms: analyses of five genes from three genomes.
Yin Long Qiu,Jungho Lee,Fabiana Bernasconi-Quadroni,Douglas E. Soltis,Pamela S. Soltis,Michael J. Zanis,Elizabeth A. Zimmer,Zhi-Duan Chen,Vincent Savolainen,Mark W. Chase +9 more
TL;DR: The standard most parsimonious trees search, taxon deletion analyses, and constraint analyses in combination with Kishino‐Hasegawa tests provided a rigorous analytical perspective for identifying Amborella, Nymphaeales, and Illiciales‐Trimeniaceae‐Austrobaileya (ANITA) as the basalmost lineages of extant angiosperms.
