Journal ArticleDOI
Growing coffee: Psilanthus (Rubiaceae) subsumed on the basis of molecular and morphological data; implications for the size, morphology, distribution and evolutionary history of Coffea
TL;DR: This study reassess species relationships based on improved species sampling for Psilanthus, including P. melanocarpus, which increases the number of species in Coffea from 104 to 124, extends the distribution to tropical Asia and Australasia and broadens the morphological characterization of the genus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular systematics of Iridaceae: evidence from four plastid DNA regions
Gail Reeves,Mark W. Chase,Peter Goldblatt,Paula J. Rudall,Michael F. Fay,Anthony V. Cox,Bernard Lejeune,Tatiana T. Souza-Chies +7 more
TL;DR: In the combined tree, all subfamilies were resolved as monophyletic, except Nivenioidae that formed a grade in which Ixioideae were embedded, and this subfamily also lacks clear morphological synapomorphies and is highly heterogeneous, so it is difficult to develop a strong case on nonmolecular grounds for their monophyly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multigene Analyses of Monocot Relationships
Mark W. Chase,Michael F. Fay,Dion S. Devey,Oliver Maurin,Nina Rønsted,T. Jonathan Davies,Yohan Pillon,Gitte Peterson,Minoru N. Tamura,Conny B. Asmussen,Khidir W. Hilu,Thomas Borsch,Jerrold I. Davis,Dennis W. Stevenson,J. Chris Pires,Thomas J. Givnish,Kenneth J. Systma,Marc A. McPherson,Sean W. Graham,Hardeep S. Rai +19 more
TL;DR: Analysis of supra-familial relationships of monocots based on a combined matrix of nuclear 18S and partial 26S rDNA, plastid atpB, matK, ndhF, and rbcL, and mitochondrial atpl DNA sequences provides higher bootstrap support for nearly all relationships than in previously published analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Barcoding of Plants and Fungi
Mark W. Chase,Michael F. Fay +1 more
TL;DR: DNA barcoding enables rapid and accurate identification of species in many groups of organisms, but cannot always distinguish between closely related species of land plants or fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the trade in orchids and its implications for conservation

TL;DR: The first overview of commercial orchid trade globally is provided and the main types that involve wild-collected plants are highlighted, including the associated legal–regulatory context and key conservation challenges.
