Since the time of the last major conference on monocotyledons, great progress in
understanding of their higher level relationships has taken place; much of this is due an …

A diverse array of molecular approaches is now available to the plant systematist for use in
phylogenetic inference, including restriction site analysis, comparative sequencing, analysis …

We explore the phylogeny of the polygrammoid ferns using nucleotide sequences derived
from three plastid loci for each of 98 selected species. Our analyses recovered four major …

A molecular phylogeny of the family Iridaceae based on the plastid gene rps 4 was obtained
using both parsimony and distance methods. Thirty-four species were examined together …

Using different data sets mainly from the plant family Rubiaceae, but in parts also from the
Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, Lardizabalaceae, Saxifragaceae, and Solanaceae, we have …

Data from three chloroplast genes (rps4+ trnS spacer,+ trnL spacer; 1350 base pairs) for 27
of the recognized segregates show the Thelypteridaceae to be monophyletic and sister to an …

Thelypteridaceae is one of the largest fern families, having about 950 species and a
cosmopolitan distribution but with most species occurring in tropical and subtropical regions …

Gynoecium and ovule structure was comparatively studied in representatives of the basal
monocots, including Acorales (Acoraceae), Alismatales (Araceae, Alismataceae …

We examined three parallel data sets with respect to qualities relevant to phylogenetic
analysis of 20 exemplar monocotyledons and related dicotyledons. The three data sets …
