A Bird’s Eye View of the Systematics of Convolvulaceae: Novel Insights From Nuclear Genomic Data.
Convolvulaceae is a family of c. 2,000 species, distributed across 60 currently recognized genera. It includes species of high economic importance, such as the crop sweet potato ( L.), the ornamental morning glories ( L.), bindweeds ( L.), and dodders, the parasitic vines ( L.). Earlier phylogenetic studies, based predominantly...Simões, Ana Rita G. ; Eserman, Lauren A. ; Zuntini, Alexandre R. ; Chatrou, Lars W. ; Utteridge, Timothy M. A. …

Disentangling parasitic vines in the tropics: taxonomic notes for an accurate identification of Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae) and Cassytha (Lauraceae).
Abstract Parasitic plants are often associated with agricultural, forestry and grassland economic losses, but they are also keystone species in their natural ecosystems. Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae) and Cassytha (Lauraceae) are parasitic plants which have evolved similar stem habit and morphology, rendering them remarkably similar during the vegetative stage. Since both genera...Soares da Silva, Simone ; Simão-Bianchini, Rosângela ; Simões, Ana Rita Giraldes ; Costea, Mihai
