Molecular Phylogeny of the “temperate Herbaceous Tribes” of Papilionoid Legumes: a Supertree Approach
Molecular phylogenies provide a framework to discuss relationships in the vast temperate herbaceous radiation of papilionoid legumes comprised of tribes Galegeae, Carmichaelieae, Cicereae, Hedysareae, Trifolieae, Vicieae, as well as among some members of the tropical tribe Millettieae (Callerya, Wisteria, and related genera). The taxa form a monophyletic group marked by the loss of the chloropl...
متن کاملThe first complete chloroplast genome of the Genistoid legume Lupinus luteus: evidence for a novel major lineage-specific rearrangement and new insights regarding plastome evolution in the legume family.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To date chloroplast genomes are available only for members of the non-protein amino acid-accumulating clade (NPAAA) Papilionoid lineages in the legume family (i.e. Millettioids, Robinoids and the 'inverted repeat-lacking clade', IRLC). It is thus very important to sequence plastomes from other lineages in order to better understand the unusual evolution observed in this mode...
متن کاملCompound leaf development and evolution in the legumes.
Across vascular plants, Class 1 KNOTTED1-like (KNOX1) genes appear to play a critical role in the development of compound leaves. An exception to this trend is found in the Fabaceae, where pea (Pisum sativum) uses UNIFOLIATA, an ortholog of the floral regulators FLORICAULA (FLO) and LEAFY (LFY), in place of KNOX1 genes to regulate compound leaf development. To assess the phylogenetic distributi...
متن کاملNod genes and Nod signals and the evolution of the Rhizobium legume symbiosis.
The establishment of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between rhizobia and legumes requires an exchange of signals between the two partners. In response to flavonoids excreted by the host plant, rhizobia synthesize Nod factors (NFs) which elicit, at very low concentrations and in a specific manner, various symbiotic responses on the roots of the legume hosts. NFs from several rhizobial species hav...
متن کاملCharacteristics of bacteroids in indeterminate nodules of the leguminous tree Leucaena glauca.
Rhizobia establish symbiosis with legumes. Bacteroids in indeterminate nodules of Inverted Repeat Lacking Clade (IRLC) legumes undergo terminal differentiation caused by Nodule-specific Cysteine-Rich peptides (NCRs). Microscopic observations of bacteroids and the detection of NCRs in indeterminate nodules of the non-IRLC legume Leucaena glauca were performed. A portion of the bacteroids showed ...
