Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic relationships of Dipsacales based on rbcl sequences
TL;DR: The genera of Caprifoliaceae do not form a monophyletic group and Symphoricarpos and Lonicera are related and are united with Valerianaceae and Dipsacaceae; Adoxa and Sambucus are directly linked and are possibly related to Viburnum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic hypotheses for the monocotyledons constructed from rbcL sequence data.
TL;DR: DNA sequences for the plastid locus that encodes the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) were determined for 18 species of monocotyledons in 15 families and show at least moderate support for seven lineages corresponding to the following orders, superorders, or combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic reconstruction of Chirita and allies (Gesneriaceae) with taxonomic treatments
TL;DR: The morphological evolution of Chirita was analyzed and a series of morphological synapomorphies for the monophyletic groups revealed herein were identified to provide a taxonomic treatment in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Molecular Reexamination of Diploid Hybrid Speciation of Solanum Raphanifolium
TL;DR: Interspecific hybridization has long been the focus of intensive study in many groups of plants and recent work with genetically more precise isozyme and DNA characters have provided new insights into hybridization hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Phylogeny of the Tropical Genus Piper Using Its and the Chloroplast Intron psbJ–petA
M. Alejandra Jaramillo,Ricardo Callejas,Christopher Davidson,James F. Smith,Angela C. Stevens,Eric J. Tepe +5 more
TL;DR: The combined analysis provides support for ten monophyletic groups and offers the best hypothesis for relationships in Piper, and assigns confidently a large number of species in this “giant” genus to a major clade.
