چکیده
The subtribe Eleusininae Dumort. (Poaceae: Chlorid oideae: Cynodonteae) is a morphologically diverse group, characterized by having racemose inflorescences (with a few exceptions) and contains about 212 species in 31 genera found primarily in low latitudes in Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Ten of the genera are currently monotypic (Apochiton C.E.Hubb., Austrochloris Lazarides, Daknopholis Clayton, Harpochloa Kunth, Ochthochloa Edgew., Oxychloris Lazarides, Pommereulla L.f., Rheochloa Filg. & al., Sclero dactylon Stapf, Stapfochloa H.Scholz), 16 genera contain 10 or fewer species: Acrachne Wight & Arn. ex Chiov. (3 spp.), Afrotrichloris Chiov. (2 spp.), Astrebla F.Muell. (4 spp.), Brachyachne (Benth.) Stapf (9 spp.), Chrysochloa Swallen (4 spp.), Coelachyrum Hochst. & Nees (5 spp.), Cynodon Rich.

A classification of the Chloridoideae (Poaceae) based on multi-gene phylogenetic trees.
We conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of the subfamily Chloridoideae using six plastid DNA sequences (ndhA intron, ndhF, rps16-trnK, rps16 intron, rps3, and rpl32-trnL) and a single nuclear ITS DNA sequence. Our large original data set includes 246 species (17.3%) representing 95 genera (66%) of the grasses currently placed in the Chloridoideae. The maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysi...

New combinations and names are here validated for ten grass (Poaceae) taxa in California for the forthcoming revision of The Jepson Manual. In addition, guided by recent molecular phylogenetic studies, ten non-California grass species are here transferred to Muhlenbergia (Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae) to achieve monophyly of the genus. Lolium, long known to be phylogenetically nested within Festu...
متن کاملA phylogeny and classification of the Muhlenbergiinae (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae) based on plastid and nuclear DNA sequences.
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY To understand the origins of C(4) grasslands, we must have a better interpretation of plant traits via phylogenetic reconstruction. Muhlenbergiinae, the largest subtribe of C(4) grasses in Mexico and the southwestern United States (with 176 species), is taxonomically poorly understood. • METHODS We conducted a phylogenetic analysis of 47 genera and 174 speci...
متن کاملSubgeneric classification of Linaria (Plantaginaceae; Antirrhineae): molecular phylogeny and morphology revisited
Linaria Mill. (Plantaginaceae) with about 160 spp. is the largest genus of the tribe Antirrhineae. We conducted phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) and chloroplast DNA (rpl32-trnL) sequence data to test the monophyly of currently recognized sections in Linaria. For this purpose 86 species representing seven sections of Linaria and one species ...
متن کاملPerspectives in taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae): a review
The genus Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) is reviewed from both phyloenetic and taxonomic points of view. As the largest genus of flowering plants it has attracted many researchers, but much work remains to be done. A short taxonomic history with special focus on infrageneric classification of the genus, a list of phylogenetic studies including the applied markers and sampling strategies as well a...
