Ribosomal ITS sequences and plant phylogenetic inference

I Álvarez, JF Wendel - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2003 - Elsevier
One of the most popular sequences for phylogenetic inference at the generic and
infrageneric levels in plants is the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 18S–5.8 S …

Autopolyploidy in angiosperms: have we grossly underestimated the number of species?

DE Soltis, PS Soltis, DW Schemske, JF Hancock… - Taxon, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Many species comprise multiple cytotypes that represent autopolyploids, or presumed
autopolyploids, of the basic diploid cytotype. However, rarely has an autopolyploid been …

Phylogeny reconstruction: the role of morphology

RW Scotland, RG Olmstead, JR Bennett - Systematic biology, 2003 - JSTOR
In this article we explore the paradox of why morphological data are currently utilized less for
phylogeny reconstruction than are DNA sequence data, whereas most of what we know …
