TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set for 560 angiosperms and seven outgroups based on three genes, 18S rDNA, rbcL, and atpB representing a total of 4733 bp is presented, resulting in the most highly resolved and strongly supported topology yet obtained for angiosPerms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogeny and a new classification of the gingers (Zingiberaceae): evidence from molecular data.
TL;DR: New phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequences of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid matK regions suggest that at least some of these morphological traits are homoplasious and three of the tribes are paraphyletic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unraveling the Evolutionary Radiation of the Families of the Zingiberales Using Morphological and Molecular Evidence
TL;DR: Evidence from branch lengths in the parsimony analyses and from the fossil record suggests that the Zingiberales originated in the Early Cretaceous and underwent a rapid radiation in the mid-Cretaceous, by which time most extant family lineages had diverged.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repeated evolution of net venation and fleshy fruits among monocots in shaded habitats confirms a priori predictions: evidence from an ndhF phylogeny
Thomas J. Givnish,J. Chris Pires,Sean W. Graham,Marc A. McPherson,Linda M. Prince,Thomas B. Patterson,Hardeep S. Rai,Eric H. Roalson,Timothy M. Evans,William J. Hahn,Kendra C. Millam,Alan W. Meerow,Mia Molvray,Paul J. Kores,Heath E. O’Brien,Jocelyn C. Hall,W. John Kress,Kenneth J. Sytsma +17 more
TL;DR: This work presents a well-resolved, highly inclusive phylogeny for monocots, based on ndhF sequence variation, and uses it to test a priori hypotheses that net venation and vertebrate-dispersed fleshy fruits should undergo concerted convergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic Relationships of Monocots Based on the Highly Informative Plastid Gene ndhF
Thomas J. Givnish,J. Chris Pires,Sean W. Graham,Marc A. McPherson,Linda M. Prince,Thomas B. Patterson,Hardeep S. Rai,Eric H. Roalson,Timothy M. Evans,William J. Hahn,Kendra C. Millam,Alan W. Meerow,Mia Molvray,Paul J. Kores,Heath W. O'Brien,Jocelyn C. Hall,W. John Kress,Kenneth J. Sytsma +17 more
TL;DR: The resulting tree is highly resolved and places commelinids sister to Asparagales, with both sister to Liliales-Pandanales in the strict consensus; Pandanales are sister to Dioscoreale in the bootstrap majority-rule tree, just above Petrosaviales.
