Since the time of the last major conference on monocotyledons, great progress in
understanding of their higher level relationships has taken place; much of this is due an …

▪ Abstract Macroevolution in the grasses has often involved change in the position
(heterotopy) of developmental programs, possibly via ectopic gene expression. Heterotopy …

A phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set for 560 angiosperms and seven outgroups
based on three genes, 18S rDNA (1855 bp), rbcL (1428 bp), and atpB (1450 bp) …

Abstract Following (1) the large-scale molecular phylogeny of seed plants based on plastid
rbcL gene sequences (published in 1993 by Chase et al., Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 80: 528 …

DNA sequences of five mitochondrial, plastid, and nuclear genes from 105 species (103
genera and 63 families) representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and basal …

The phylogeny of flowering plants is now rapidly being disclosed by analysis of DNA
sequence data, and currently, many Cretaceous fossils of flowering plants are being …

Dobzhansky stated that nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. A
close corollary, and the central theme of this paper, is that everything makes a lot more …

Phylogenetic relationships of Asphodelaceae were investigated by parsimony analysis of 57
monocotrbcL nucleotide sequences, including 17 genera that have at some time been …

Phylogenetic relationships within Bromeliaceae were assessed by comparative sequencing
of chloroplast trnL (UAA) intronic DNA. Sixty-seven taxa were analyzed, encompassing 62 …

We present a combined analysis of sequences for four plastid DNA regions,(rbcL. otpB, the
tml_ intron and the tmL-tmF intergenic spacer) for Asparagales and related groups. Aligning …
