Journal ArticleDOI
Two divergent intragenomic rDNA ITS2 types within a monophyletic lineage of the fungus Fusarium are nonorthologous
TL;DR: The results suggest that the ancestral ITS2 types may have arisen following an ancient interspecific hybridization or gene duplication which occurred prior to the evolutionary radiation of the Gibberella fujikuroi complex and related species of Fusarium.

The tortoise and the hare II: relative utility of 21 noncoding chloroplast DNA sequences for phylogenetic analysis
Joey Shaw,Edgar B. Lickey,John T. Beck,Susan B. Farmer,Wusheng Liu,Jermey Miller,Kunsiri Chaw Siripun,Charles Thomas Winder,Edward E. Schilling,Randall L. Small +9 more
TL;DR: The results of this study show that a survey using as few as three representative taxa can be predictive of the amount of phylogenetic information offered by a cpDNA region and that rate heterogeneity exists among noncoding cpDNA regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ribosomal ITS sequences and plant phylogenetic inference.
Inés Álvarez,Jonathan F. Wendel +1 more
TL;DR: Despite the near-universal usage of ITS sequence data in plant phylogenetic studies, its complex and unpredictable evolutionary behavior reduce its utility for phylogenetic analysis, and it is suggested that more robust insights are likely to emerge from the use of single-copy or low-copy nuclear genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of DNA barcodes to identify flowering plants
TL;DR: Comparison of the total plastid genomes of tobacco and deadly nightshade enhanced with trials on widely divergent angiosperm taxa suggest that the sequences in this pair of loci have the potential to discriminate among the largest number of plant species for barcoding purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular systematics and phylogeography of the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships of the phyto-pathogenic Gibberella fujikuroi species complex were investigated by maximum parsimony analysis of DNA sequences from multiple loci.

Primer-directed enzymatic amplification of DNA with a thermostable DNA polymerase
Randall Keichi Saiki,David H. Gelfand,Susanne Stoffel,Stephen J. Scharf,Russell Higuchi,Glenn Thomas Horn,Kary B. Mullis,Henry A. Erlich +7 more
TL;DR: A thermostable DNA polymerase was used in an in vitro DNA amplification procedure, the polymerase chain reaction, which significantly improves the specificity, yield, sensitivity, and length of products that can be amplified.

MacClade: Analysis of phylogeny and character evolution
TL;DR: MacClade is a computer program that provides theory and tools for the graphic and interactive analysis of molecular and morphological data, phylogeny, and character evolution, yet its ease of use allows beginning students to grasp phylogenetic principles in an interactive environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
