Pines comprise one of the largest coniferous genera, are distributed throughout the Northern
Hemisphere, and have an abundant fossil record. Distributions of fossils have been used to …

Background The taxonomy of pines (genus Pinus) is widely accepted and a robust gene tree
based on entire plastome sequences exists. However, there is a large discrepancy in …

We used restriction fragment analysis of chloroplast, nuclear, and mitochondrial DNA to
study phylogeny in the genus Pinus. Total genomic DNA of 18 to 19 pine species that …

Phylogenetic analysis of plastid DNA restriction site and rearrangement mutations suggests
a number of major revisions to taxonomy and phylogenetic concepts in the hard pines. Total …

Uncertainties in the age and phylogenetic position of Pinaceae fossils present significant
obstacles to our understanding of the timing of diversification in the family. We demonstrate …

Pinaceae comprises 11 genera, and represents the largest family of conifers with an
extensive wild distribution in the Northern Hemisphere. Intergeneric relationships of …

The fossil record of the family Pinaceae indicates that most genera first appeared in the high-
latitude and high-altitude regions of North America during the early Tertiary. In fact, six of the …

In Pinaceae, the chloroplast, mitochondrial, and nuclear genomes are paternally, maternally,
and biparentally inherited, respectively. Examining congruence and incongruence of gene …

We used chloroplast DNA sequences from matK and rbcL to infer the phylogeny for 101 of
the approximately 111 species of Pinus (Pinaceae). At the level of subsection and above …

Nineteen species of structurally preserved ovulate cones of the Pinaceae are known from
the Cretaceous. One of these belongs to Pinus, while the others contain anatomical features …
