Journal ArticleDOI
A gene phylogeny of the red algae (Rhodophyta) based on plastid rbcL
TL;DR: A phylogeny for the Rhodophyta has been inferred by parsimony analysis of plastid rBCL sequences representing 81 species, 68 genera, 38 families, and 17 orders of red algae; rbcL encodes the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.
Journal ArticleDOI
SYSTEMATICS OF THE DELESSERIACEAE (CERAMIALES, RHODOPHYTA) BASED ON LARGE SUBUNIT rDNA AND rbcL SEQUENCES, INCLUDING THE PHYCODRYOIDEAE, SUBFAM. NOV.
TL;DR: The Kylin system is tested based on phylogenetic parsimony and distance analyses inferred from two molecular data sets and morphological evidence, and a new subfamily, Phycodryoideae, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing red algal supraordinal diversity and taxonomy in the context of contemporary systematic data
TL;DR: This work provides a comprehensive review of the literature pertaining to the antiquity, diversity, and systematics of the red algae and proposes a contemporary classification based on recent and traditional evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solving taxonomic and nomenclatural problems in pacific gigartinaceae (rhodophyta) using dna from type material
TL;DR: Molecular data obtained by a procedure for extracting PCR‐amplifiable nuclear and chloroplast DNA from old and formalin‐fixed red algal herbarium specimens were used to elucidate problems in the systematics of Pacific Gigartinaceae.
