Dobzhansky stated that nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. A
close corollary, and the central theme of this paper, is that everything makes a lot more …

• Premise of the study: Recent analyses employing up to five genes have provided
numerous insights into angiosperm phylogeny, but many relationships have remained …

The Rutaceae are the largest family in number of species in the order Sapindales, with 162
genera and ca. 2085 species, mainly in (sub) tropical regions. The family is well distributed …

A phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set for 560 angiosperms and seven outgroups
based on three genes, 18S rDNA (1855 bp), rbcL (1428 bp), and atpB (1450 bp) …

Recent cladistic analyses are revealing the phylogeny of flowering plants in increasing
detail, and there is support for the monophyly of many major groups above the family level …

Sequence analyses of the plastid genes atpB and rbcL support an expanded order
Malvales. Within this alliance, core Malvales are clearly supported and comprise most …

Plastid matK gene sequences for 374 genera representing all angiosperm orders and 12
genera of gymnosperms were analyzed using parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) …

Abstract Following (1) the large-scale molecular phylogeny of seed plants based on plastid
rbcL gene sequences (published in 1993 by Chase et al., Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 80: 528 …

A phylogenetic analysis of 589 plastid rbcL gene sequences representing nearly all eudicot
families (a total of 308 families; seven photosynthetic and four parasitic families are missing) …
