The chloroplast genome (cpDNA) of plants has been a focus of research in plant molecular
evolution and systematics. Several features of this genome have facilitated molecular …

The field of plant molecular systematics is expanding rapidly, and with it new and refined
methods are coming into use. This paper reviews recent advances in experimental methods …

Previous phylogenetic analyses of morphological and rRNA data indicated that Gnetales are
the closest living relatives of angiosperms but gave different basal angiosperm relationships …

Abstract Concepts of primitive angiosperm flowers have changed in recent years due to new
studies on relic archaic groups, new paleobotanical finds and the addition of molecular …

Nuclear DNA content of 62 species of angiosperms including 52 monocotyledons and ten
dicotyledons has been estimated by flow cytometry using Nicotiana tabacum var. Xanthi as …

Abstract Harris and Hartley (1976, 1980) demonstrated the presence of ferulic acid in cell
walls of certain monocotyledons using UV fluorescence microscopy (fluorescing green after …

The chloroplast gene encoding ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate-carboxylase (rbc L) was
sequenced for phylogenetic analysis of 13 species (10 genera) in the tribe Polygonatae sl of …

A detailed study was made of the phylogeny and taxonomy of Dasylirion, a genus of prickly-
leaved, dioecious, rosette plants native to arid, hilly regions in the southwestern USA and …

The affinities of Cyclanthaceae are discussed, and it is concluded that the sister-group to this
family is most probably Pandanaceae. A hypothesis of generic relationships in …

Ovule and embryo sac structure are described in several genera of Xanthorrhoeaeeae sl
(sensu BEDFORD et al. 1986) together with other taxa of the orders Asparagales, Liliales …
