Chloroplast DNA sequences are a primary source of data for plant molecular systematic
studies. A few key papers have provided the molecular systematics community with …

Contributions from paleobotany, phylogenetics, genomics, developmental biology, and
developmental genetics have yielded tremendous insight into Darwin's “abominable …

DNA barcoding should provide rapid, accurate and automatable species identifications by
using a standardized DNA region as a tag. Based on sequences available in GenBank and …

Genomic comparisons provide evidence for ancient genome-wide duplications in a diverse
array of animals and plants. We developed a birth–death model to identify evidence for …

Although great progress has been made in clarifying deep-level angiosperm relationships,
several early nodes in the angiosperm branch of the Tree of Life have proved difficult to …

Although they are relative latecomers on the evolutionary scene, having emerged only 135?
170 million years ago, angiosperms—or flowering plants—are the most diverse and species …

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) …

A phylogenetic analysis of Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae was carried out using
sequence variation of the chloroplast gene rbc L. Our sampling included 108 species of …

Molecular DNA based data sets are the most important resource for phylogenetic
reconstruction. Among the various marker systems, which were introduced and optimized …

• Premise of the study: Noncoding chloroplast DNA (NC‐cpDNA) sequences are the staple
data source of low‐level phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies of angiosperms. We …
