TL;DR: The 2-locus combination of rbcL+matK will provide a universal framework for the routine use of DNA sequence data to identify specimens and contribute toward the discovery of overlooked species of land plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA barcoding the floras of biodiversity hotspots
Renaud Lahaye,Michelle van der Bank,Diego Bogarín,Jorge Warner,Franco Pupulin,Guillaume Gigot,Olivier Maurin,Sylvie Duthoit,Timothy G. Barraclough,Vincent Savolainen +9 more
TL;DR: Analysis of >1,000 species of Mesoamerican orchids, DNA barcoding with matK alone reveals cryptic species and proves useful in identifying species listed in Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) appendixes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work shows taxon richness to be decoupled from PD, using a biome-wide phylogenetic analysis of the flora of an undisputed biodiversity hotspot—the Cape of South Africa and demonstrates that PD protection is the best strategy for preserving feature diversity in the Cape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of angiosperms and the puzzle of the Jurassic gap

TL;DR: A study reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny on the basis of plastome data representing 2,351 angiosperm and 187 gymnosperm species, and dated the origin of crown angiosperms to be significantly earlier than the estimates based on fossil data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large multi-gene phylogenetic trees of the grasses (Poaceae): progress towards complete tribal and generic level sampling.
Yanis Bouchenak-Khelladi,Nicolas Salamin,Vincent Savolainen,Félix Forest,Michelle van der Bank,Mark W. Chase,Trevor R. Hodkinson +6 more
TL;DR: A fully resolved phylogenetic summary tree for the grass family at subfamily level is produced and the most likely relationships of all included tribes in the authors' analysis are indicated.
