Systematics and evolution of the Old World Ebenaceae, a review with emphasis on the large genus Diospyros and its radiation in New Caledonia
In this review article, we provide an overview of the status of research on Old World Ebenaceae with an emphasis on the large genus Diospyros. The well-supported phylogenetic tree obtained from nucleotide sequences of multiple regions of plastid genome gave clear insights into the subfamilial classification of Ebenaceae. It supported...Samuel, Rosabelle ; Turner, Barbara ; Duangjai, Sutee ; Munzinger, Jérôme ; Paun, Ovidiu …

Plastid phylogenomic insights into the evolution of Caryophyllales
The Caryophyllales includes 40 families and 12,500 species, representing a large and diverse clade of angiosperms. Collectively, members of the clade grow on all continents and in all terrestrial biomes and often occupy extreme habitats (e.g., xeric, salty). The order is characterized by many taxa with unusual adaptations including carnivory,...Yao, Gang ; Jin, Jian-Jun ; Li, Hong-Tao ; Yang, Jun-Bo ; Mandala, Venkata …

Phylogenomics of Orchidaceae based on plastid and mitochondrial genomes
To advance our knowledge of orchid relationships and timing of their relative divergence, we used 76 protein-coding genes from plastomes (ptCDS) and 38 protein-coding genes from mitochondrial genomes (mtCDS) of 74 orchids representing the five subfamilies and 18 tribes of Orchidaceae, to reconstruct the phylogeny and temporal evolution of the...Li, Yun-Xia ; Li, Zhang-Hai ; Schuiteman, Andre ; Chase, Mark ; Li, Jian-Wu …

Phylogenetic relationships in Apocynaceae based on nuclear PHYA and plastid trnL-F sequences, with a focus on tribal relationships
To date, most molecular phylogenetic studies of Apocynaceae have been based on plastid DNA regions or nuclear ribosomal DNA. In this study, we used part of the PHYA (phytochrome A) exon, a low-copy nuclear gene, and combined it with the trnL-F region (intron and spacer) to investigate placement of Periplocoideae,...Nazar, Nazia ; Clarkson, James ; Goyder, David ; Kaky, Emad ; Mahmood, Tariq …

Phylogenetics, classification and typification of extant horsetails (Equisetum, Equisetaceae)
Horsetails (Equisetum, Equisetaceae) are one of the oldest groups of vascular plants with a nearly continuous fossil record dating back to the Carboniferous. Only a few studies have addressed relationships among and within the extant members of this fern genus. We here present the first complete phylogenetic analysis of one...Christenhusz, Maarten ; Bangiolo, Lois ; Chase, Mark ; Fay, Michael ; Husby, Chad …

Origin of angiosperms and the puzzle of the Jurassic gap
Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny based on 80 genes from 2,881 plastid genomes representing 85% of extant families and all orders. With a well-resolved plastid tree and 62 fossil calibrations, we dated the...Li, Hong-Tao ; Yi, Ting-Shuang ; Gao, Lian-Ming ; Ma, Peng-Fei ; Zhang, Ting …
