In an attempt to elucidate relationships among the morphologically diverse members of Saxifragaceae sensu lato, phylogenetic analyses of rbcL sequence data were conducted on representative genera of 16 of the 17 subfamilies. Also included were many putatively related families, as well as a diverse array of dicotyledonous flowering plants. Our phylogenetic analyses suggest that taxa of Saxifragaceae sensu lato are allied with at least 10 separate, often distantly related, lineages of several subclasses of flowering plants. Sequence data, in combination with other lines of evidence, suggest that Saxifragaceae sensu stricto should consist only of subfamily Saxifragoideae, a group of about 30 herbaceous genera that form the core of Saxifragaceae sensu latoread more

An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG II
TL;DR: A revised and updated classification for the families of the flowering plants is provided in this paper, which includes Austrobaileyales, Canellales, Gunnerales, Crossosomatales and Celastrales.

Phylogenetics of seed plants: an analysis of nucleotide sequences from the plastid gene rbcL.
TL;DR: Two exploratory parsimony analyses of DNA sequences from 475 and 499 species of seed plants, respectively, representing all major taxonomic groups indicate that rbcL sequence variation contains historical evidence appropriate for phylogenetic analysis at this taxonomic level of sampling.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set for 560 angiosperms and seven outgroups based on three genes, 18S rDNA, rbcL, and atpB representing a total of 4733 bp is presented, resulting in the most highly resolved and strongly supported topology yet obtained for angiosPerms.

Phylogenetic Incongruence: Window into Genome History and Molecular Evolution

TL;DR: The field of systematic biology has been revitalized and transformed during the last few decades by the confluence of phylogenetic thinking with ready access to the tools of molecular biology and a growing awareness that reliance on a single data set may often result in insufficient phylogenetic resolution or misleading inferences.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that with large amounts of sequence data, most deep-level relationships within the angiosperms can be resolved and will be of broad utility for many areas of biology, including physiology, ecology, paleobiology, and genomics.
