TLDR
It is concluded that the studied tepal characters can be useful in improving the classification of tribes Persicarieae and Polygoneae, and give additional support at the infrageneric level.About:

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
rbcL Phylogeny and Character Evolution in Polygonaceae
TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships within Polygonaceae, with an emphasis on Polygonum and segregate genera, are investigated using sequence data from the chloroplast gene rbcL, showing the currently recognized subfamilies are likely not monophyletic.

Taxonomy of Polygonoideae (Polygonaceae): A new tribal classification
Journal ArticleDOI
A Large‐Scale Phylogeny of Polygonaceae Based on Molecular Data
TL;DR: Two large clades comprise Polygonaceae, generally corresponding to those found in previous molecular analyses, and Circumscription of most of the currently recognized subgroups withinPolygonaceae did not agree with clades identified in the total data analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic significance of fruit morphology and anatomy in tribes Persicarieae and Polygoneae (Polygonaceae)
TL;DR: Fruits of Polygonaceae have a basically similar construction of indehiscent nuts or achenes, but different fruit anatomical patterns have arisen several times in evolution and have a limited value at tribal level but are useful at generic level.

Journal ArticleDOI
Epidermal and seed surface characters of plants: systematic applicability and some evolutionary aspects
TL;DR: There is evidence that these features may be seen primarily under the aspects of reduced ability of plants to contaminate and as temperature control mechanisms of the surfaces, and some evidence for their systematic applicability above the family level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pigment distribution, light reflection and cell structure in petals
TL;DR: Petal structure and the distribution of pigments in petals were studied in relation to the functional anatomy of petals and the ways in which petals absorb and reflect light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flower petal microtexture is a tactile cue for bees
Peter G. Kevan,Meredith A. Lane +1 more
TL;DR: This study presents a previously unreported conditioned response to texture by insects and shows the functional significance of a floral character used in plant taxonomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generic limits in Polygonum and related genera (Polygonaceae) on the basis of floral characters
TL;DR: The present data support a division of Polygonum L. sensu lato and its related taxa into two tribes: Polygoneae and Persicarieae (containing Fagopyrum Mill., Harpagocarpus Hutch. and Koenigia L.).
