TLDR
Cladistic analyses of restriction map variation in the slowly evolving chloroplast DNA inverted repeat regions of 43 genera of the large and economically important legume tribe Phaseoleae indicate that several plastome groups correspond well to subtribes recognized largely on the basis of mor- phological variation.Abstract:
Restriction map variation has been assayed in the slowly evolving chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) inverted repeat regions of 43 genera of the large and economically important legume tribe Phaseoleae and representatives of several allied tribes. Cladistic analyses of these data indicate that several plastome groups correspond well to subtribes recognized largely on the basis of mor- phological variation. Based on these cpDNA data, the tribe as a whole does not appear to be monophyletic, a result in accordance with current, morphologically-based hypotheses. Plastomes of several genera belonging to subtribes considered basal within Phaseoleae have as their sister groups plastomes of non-Phaseoleae tribes, notably Millettieae, the tribe considered to represent the ancestral stock from which diverse elements of Phaseoleae were derived. More unexpectedly, plastomes of the tribe Desmodieae fall within the clade that includes the most derived chloroplast genomes of Phaseoleae.read more

A phylogeny of the chloroplast gene rbcL in the Leguminosae: taxonomic correlations and insights into the evolution of nodulation
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast-encoded rbcL gene in Leguminosae are consistent with previous hypotheses in suggesting that the family as a whole is monophyletic, but that only two of its three subfamilies are natural.

rbcL and Legume Phylogeny, with Particular Reference to Phaseoleae, Millettieae, and Allies

TL;DR: A parsimony analysis was conducted on 319 rbcL sequences, and not surprisingly showed both tribes to be polyphyletic, though with all taxa except Wisteria and allied Millettieae belonging to a single well supported clade.

TL;DR: Members of Leguminosae (legumes), the third largest family of flowering plants, are cosmopolitan in distribution, diverse in form, and of considerable ecological, agricultural, and scientific importance.

Phylogenetic Relationships in the Papilionoideae (Family Leguminosae) Based on Nucleotide Sequences of cpDNA (rbcL) and ncDNA (ITS 1 and 2)
Ernst Käss,Michael Wink +1 more
TL;DR: Several clusters and furcations were identical in the rbcL and ITS trees of the Papilionoideae, indicating that a reticulate evolution due to past hybridization of members from different tribes and genera is unlikely.

A technique for radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity
TL;DR: A technique for conveniently radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity is described, and these "oligolabeled" DNA fragments serve as efficient probes in filter hybridization experiments.
A technique for radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity
TL;DR: In this article, a technique for conveniently radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity is described, where DNA fragments are purified from agarose gels directly by ethanol precipitation and are then denatured and labeled with the large fragment of DNA polymerase I, using random oligonucleotides as primers.

The limits of amino acid sequence data in angiosperm phylogenetic reconstruction.
TL;DR: Cladistic analysis of amino acid sequence data, including evaluation of all equally or almost equally parsimonious cladograms, shows that much homoplasy (parallelisms and reversals) is present and that few or no well supported monophyletic groups of families can be demonstrated.

Phylogenetic inference from restriction endonuclease cleavage site maps with particular reference to the evolution of humans and the apes.
TL;DR: In this article, a non-parametric statistical framework for testing the fit of one hypothesized phylogeny versus an alternative phylogeny is presented for testing hypotheses about relative rates of evolution among the various lineages.
