Infrageneric phylogeny of Chloantheae (Lamiaceae) based on chloroplast ndhF and nuclear ITS sequence data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tribe Chloantheae (Prostantheroideae, Lamiaceae) currently consists of over 100 species in nine genera, all of which are endemic to Australia. Generic delimitations were assessed using chloroplast 30ndhF and nuclear ITS nucleotide sequence data for up to seventy species. Analyses of the two datasets, independently and in combination, used maximum parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods. Topologies derived from each marker were broadly congruent, but better resolution and stronger branch supportwas achievedbycombining the datasets. Themonophylyof theChloantheae was confirmed. Brachysola is sister to the rest of the tribe and Chloanthes, Cyanostegia and Dicrastylis (including Mallophora) are monophyletic. Although the species within Dicrastylis were only partially resolved, it appears likely that the current sectional classification of this genus will require revision. A clade containing Newcastelia, Physopsis and Lachnostachys (=Physopsideae) was recovered, but the topology indicates that the current generic circumscriptions need further investigation. A close relationship between Hemiphora elderi, Pityrodia bartlingii and P. uncinata was resolved and reflects their palynological and carpological similarities. The relationship between remaining species of Pityrodia was incompletely resolved.

The Phylogeny of Calligonum and Pteropyrum (Polygonaceae) Based on Nuclear Ribosomal DNA ITS and Chloroplast trnL-F Sequences
This study represents phylogenetic analyses of two woody polygonaceous genera Calligonum and Pteropyrum using both chloroplast fragment (trnL-F) and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA ITS) sequence data. All inferred phylogenies using parsimony and Bayesian methods showed that Calligonum and Pteropyrum are both monophyletic and closely related taxa. They have no affinity w...

The genus Ononis,embraces more than 85 species worldwide. In the present study, materials of two subspecies of O. spinosa from different localities of Iran alongside some other native species of the genus were included in phylogenetic analyses. In addition, over 50 accessions were obtained from GenBank. In order to clarify the exact number of subspecies of O. spinosa in Iran, datasets were obta...

Phenetic analysis of morphological characters in different species of Onobrychis Miller sect. Hymenobrychis DC. (Fabaceae), classified them in two main groups based on corolla features. To determine the phylogenetic relationships among the 13 species, chloroplast DNA sequences were used. Analysis of these data resulted in a well-resolved and well-supported phylogeny. Phylogenies generated by ma...
متن کاملMAJOR CLADES IN SOLANUM BASED ON ndhF SEQUENCE DATA
Analysis of sequence data from the chloroplast gene ndhF identifies at least 12 major well-supported clades within the genus Solanum. These are briefly described, given informal clade names, and compared with the groups recognized by previous Solanum workers. Non-molecular synapomorphies are proposed for many of the clades. Continued use of informal taxonomic designations is advocated for new i...
