Corolla ontogeny and aestivation in the Acanthaceae

TLDR
Corolla ontogeny alone provides no evidence for distinguishing the relative plesiomorphy and apomorphy of different aestivation patterns, and these data undermine previous higher level classifications of Acanthaceae.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Symmetry in Flowers: Diversity and Evolution
TL;DR: To study the evolution of the diverse symmetry patterns, a concerted approach from different fields including molecular developmental genetics, pollination biology, and comparative diversity research is necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a comprehensive understanding of phylogenetic relationships among lineages of Acanthaceae s.l. (Lamiales).
TL;DR: This study sampled all known lineages of Acanthaceae including Andrographideae and used sequence data from nrITS and four chloroplast noncoding regions, and parsimony and Bayesian methods of analysis to strongly support most aspects of relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic relationships among Acanthaceae: evidence from noncoding trnL-trnF chloroplast DNA sequences.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used sequence data from the intron and spacer of the trnL-trnF chloroplast region to study phylogenetic relationships among Acanthaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher-level systematics of acanthaceae determined by chloroplast dna sequences
TL;DR: The ndhF analyses demonstrate that Elytraria and Thunbergia are successive sister taxa to all Acanthaceae taxa that have retinacula and explosive fruits and demonstrate that taxa with both retinACula and Explosive fruits can be subdivided further into two monophyletic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary Relationships Within the Species-Rich Genus Ruellia (Acanthaceae)
TL;DR: Corolla morphology has undergone convergent evolution and is therefore likely an inappropriate character for sectional delimitation, contrary to previous use, and Bayesian and parsimony analyses indicate four genera are evolutionarily allied to Ruellia.

The ontogenetic basis for corolla aestivation in Scrophulariaceae
TL;DR: Two species, Scrophularia atrata and Rhinanthus mediterraneus, are described to illustrate observations common to all of the taxa surveyed so far.
