The paper reviews the current state of low and single copy nuclear markers that have been
applied successfully in plant phylogenetics to date, and discusses case studies highlighting …

Single and low copy nuclear genes offer a larger number of, and more rapidly evolving,
characters than the chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal gene sequences that have dominated …

Low-copy nuclear genes in plants are a rich source of phylogenetic information. They hold a
great potential to improve the robustness of phylogenetic reconstruction at all taxonomic …

Molecular data have had a profound impact on the field of plant systematics, and the
application of DNA-sequence data to phylogenetic problems is now routine. The majority of …

A recent survey by Alvarez & Wendel (2003) revealed that during a five-year period over
65% of all molecular phylogenetic studies of plants at the generic level or lower included …

While DNA‐based markers can provide a wealth of information for the study of plant
evolutionary biology, progress is limited by the lack of primers available for PCR. To …

Background Although the overwhelming majority of genes found in angiosperms are
members of gene families, and both gene-and genome-duplication are pervasive forces in …

Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences have prompted spectacular progress in
assembling the Tree of Life. However, progress in constructing phylogenies among closely …

Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized molecular systematics as well as
population and conservation genetics. It is now possible to obtain enormous amounts of …

Plant nuclear genomes exhibit extensive structural variation in size, chromosome number,
number and arrangement of genes, and number of genome copies per nucleus. This …
