Genome Size Evolution and Dynamics in Iris, with Special Focus on the Section Oncocyclus
Insights into genome size dynamics and its evolutionary impact remain limited by the lack of data for many plant groups. One of these is the genus Iris, of which only 53 out of c. 260 species have available genome sizes. In this study, we estimated the C-values for 41 species... -

Phylogenetic relationships based on nuclear and plastid DNA sequences reveal recent diversification and discordant patterns of morphological evolution of the Chilean genera of Gilliesieae (Amaryllidaceae: Allioideae)
Gilliesieae are a South American tribe of Amaryllidaceae characterized by high floral diversity. Given different taxonomic interpretations and proposals for generic and specific relationships, a representative phylogenetic analysis is required to clarify the systematics of this group. The present study provides a framework for understanding phylogenetic relationships and contributing to...Escobar, Inelia ; Ruiz-Ponce, Eduardo ; Rudall, Paula J ; Fay, Michael F ; Toro-Núñez, Oscar …

Orthologous nuclear markers and new transcriptomes that broadly cover the phylogenetic diversity of Acanthaceae
Premise: Information on orthologous groups of genes, their sequence variability, and annotation is required for project design in phylogenetic reconstruction. This resource is unavailable for the flowering plant family Acanthaceae (>4000 species). Methods: We compared transcriptome sequences spanning the extant diversity of Acanthaceae in order to provide a set of...Morais, Erica ; Schönenberger, Jürg ; Conti, Elena ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Szövényi, Péter

Two new genera of Acanthaceae from tropical Africa
DNA sequence data, macro-morphological evidence and pollen analysis are used to clarify the phylogenetic placement of two African species of Acanthaceae: Schaueria populifolia C.B.Clarke and Rhinacanthus ndorensis Schweinf. The combined data demonstrate that these species are only distantly related to the genera in which they are currently placed and provide...Darbyshire, Iain ; Kiel, Carrie ; Daniel, Thomas ; McDade, Lucinda ; Luke, Quentin

Enhancing identification accuracy for powdery mildews using previously underexploited DNA loci
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA marker is routinely used for fungal identification but gives a clear result for only three out of four powdery mildew samples. A search for new markers indicates that some genes offer enhanced identification in comparison with ITS. Others fail due to amplification and sequencing...Ellingham, Oliver ; David, John ; Culham, Alastair
