The role of hybridization in plant speciation
The importance of hybridization in plant speciation and evolution has been debated for
decades, with opposing views of hybridization as either a creative evolutionary force or …

Ribosomal ITS sequences and plant phylogenetic inference
One of the most popular sequences for phylogenetic inference at the generic and
infrageneric levels in plants is the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 18S–5.8 S …

Phylogenetic incongruence: window into genome history and molecular evolution
The field of systematic biology has been revitalized and transformed during the last few
decades by the confluence of phylogenetic thinking with ready access to the tools of …

Autopolyploidy in angiosperms: have we grossly underestimated the number of species?
Many species comprise multiple cytotypes that represent autopolyploids, or presumed
autopolyploids, of the basic diploid cytotype. However, rarely has an autopolyploid been …

Utility of low-copy nuclear gene sequences in plant phylogenetics
T Sang - Critical reviews in Biochemistry and molecular biology, 2002 - Taylor & Francis
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 Systematics, GISH and the Origin of Hybrid Taxa in Nicotiana (Solanaceae)
Phylogenetic relationships in the genus Nicotiana were investigated using parsimony
analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) …

Phylogeny of subtribe Pyrinae (formerly the Maloideae, Rosaceae): limited resolution of a complex evolutionary history
CS Campbell, RC Evans, DR Morgan… - Plant systematics and …, 2007 - Springer
Generic relationships in the Pyrinae (equivalent to subfamily Maloideae) were assessed
with six chloroplast regions and five nuclear regions. We also plotted 12 non-molecular …

Untying Gordian knots: unraveling reticulate polyploid plant evolution by genomic data using the large Ranunculus auricomus species complex
Speciation via hybridization and polyploidization is a major evolutionary force in plant
evolution but is still poorly understood for neopolyploid groups. Challenges are attributed to …

The origin of the apple subfamily (Maloideae; Rosaceae) is clarified by DNA sequence data from duplicated GBSSI genes
RC Evans, CS Campbell - American journal of botany, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
For 70 yr the leading hypothesis for the origin of the Maloideae has involved wide
hybridization between ancestors of two other subfamilies. The basis of this hypothesis is that …

Phylogenetic relationships of extant ferns based on evidence from morphology and rbcL sequences
We present the first cladistic analysis of extant ferns based on morphological characters. Our
data set consisted of 77 vegetative and reproductive morphological/anatomical characters …
