TLDR
Bayesian, maximum‐likelihood, and maximum‐parsimony phylogenies, constructed using nucleotide sequences from the plastid gene region trnK‐matK, are employed to investigate relationships within the Cactaceae and found strong support for three of the four currently recognized subfamilies, although relationships between subfam families were not well defined.About:

Journal ArticleDOI

Berendsohn,Thomas Borsch,Sabine von Mering,Hossein Akhani,Salvador Arias,Idelfonso Castañeda-Noa,Urs Eggli,Roger Eriksson,Hilda Flores-Olvera,Susy Fuentes-Bazan,Gudrun Kadereit,Cornelia Klak,Nadja Korotkova,Reto Nyffeler,Gilberto Ocampo,Helga Ochoterena,Bengt Oxelman,Richard K. Rabeler,Adriana Sanchez,Boris O. Schlumpberger,Pertti Uotila +21 more
TL;DR: A taxonomic backbone at the genus level is provided that reflects the current state of knowledge and accepts 749 genera for the Caryophyllales, a major lineage of flowering plants with approximately 12500 species in 39 families.

Phylogeny of Opuntia s.s. (Cactaceae): Clade delineation, geographic origins, and reticulate evolution
Lucas C. Majure,Lucas C. Majure,Raul Puente,M. Patrick Griffith,Walter S. Judd,Pamela S. Soltis,Douglas E. Soltis,Douglas E. Soltis +7 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic hypotheses were used to infer the biogeographic history, divergence times, and potential reticulate evolution of Opuntieae, including Opuntia s.s.s, which originated in southwestern South America and expanded to the Central Andean Valleys and the desert region of western North America during the Pliocene.

Beyond aridification: multiple explanations for the elevated diversification of cacti in the New World Succulent Biome
Tania Hernández-Hernández,Joseph W. Brown,Boris O. Schlumpberger,Luis E. Eguiarte,Susana Magallón +4 more
TL;DR: This study suggests a complex picture underlying the diversification of Cactaceae, which not only responded to the availability of new niches resulting from aridification, but also to the correlated evolution of novel growth forms and reproductive strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensive gene tree discordance and hemiplasy shaped the genomes of North American columnar cacti
Dario Copetti,Dario Copetti,Alberto Búrquez,Enriquena Bustamante,Joseph L.M. Charboneau,Kevin L. Childs,Luis E. Eguiarte,Seunghee Lee,Tiffany L. Liu,Michelle M. McMahon,Noah K. Whiteman,Rod A. Wing,Rod A. Wing,Martin F. Wojciechowski,Michael J. Sanderson +14 more
TL;DR: It is found that 60% of the amino acid sites in proteins exhibiting homoplasy do so because of conflicts between gene genealogies and species histories, which is likely a consequence of the unusually long generation time of cacti.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic Relationships and Evolutionary Trends in the Cactus Family.
Pablo C. Guerrero,Lucas C. Majure,Lucas C. Majure,Amelia Cornejo-Romero,Tania Hernández-Hernández +4 more
TL;DR: This work reviews the current knowledge about the evolution of Cactaceae, focusing on phylogenetic relationships and trends revealed by the study of DNA sequence data, and discusses potential future avenues for research in the family.

Clustal w: improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting, position-specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice
TL;DR: The sensitivity of the commonly used progressive multiple sequence alignment method has been greatly improved and modifications are incorporated into a new program, CLUSTAL W, which is freely available.

MrBayes 3: Bayesian phylogenetic inference under mixed models
TL;DR: MrBayes 3 performs Bayesian phylogenetic analysis combining information from different data partitions or subsets evolving under different stochastic evolutionary models to analyze heterogeneous data sets and explore a wide variety of structured models mixing partition-unique and shared parameters.

RAxML-VI-HPC: maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic analyses with thousands of taxa and mixed models
TL;DR: UNLABELLED RAxML-VI-HPC (randomized axelerated maximum likelihood for high performance computing) is a sequential and parallel program for inference of large phylogenies with maximum likelihood (ML) that has been used to compute ML trees on two of the largest alignments to date.

The Families And Genera Of Vascular Plants
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of eudicots: sapindales, cucurbitales, myrtaceae, and myrithaceae. And they propose a new genus named myrtium.
