Perspectives in taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae): a review
Authors
Abstract:
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 as a short discussion on evolution of morphological characters are presented.

full textTaxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Crotalaria (Fabaceae): An overview
Crotalaria (Fabaceae) is the largest legume genus represented by 81 species in India. The existing sectional classification for Crotalaria in India is based on morphological characters and is not completely supported by the molecular phylogenetic studies. Molecular systematic studies of the Indian sections Crotalaria and Calycinae have enabled merging of both these sections into Calycinae. Trif...
full textTwo new species and a new record of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae) from NE Iran
During the study on the specimens of Astragalus sect. Ammodendron in the herbarium of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUMH), based on the last and most recent sources, two new species, i.e. A. microfoliolatus sp. nova and A. rashed-mohasseli sp. nova were found and described. Morphological evidence confirmed that the belonging of these taxa to Astragalus sect. Ammodendron. The most important di...

Background: More than 60 species of the genus Lathyrus are distributed in Southwest Asia. It is the second largest genus of the tribe Fabeae, after Vicia, in the region (and in Iran with 23 species). In the regional Flora (Flora of Turkey, FloraIranicaand flora...
full textPhylogeny and taxonomy of the genus Gliocephalotrichum
Species in the genus Gliocephalotrichum (= Leuconectria) (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) are soilborne fungi, associated with post-harvest fruit spoilage of several important tropical fruit crops. Contemporary taxonomic studies of these fungi have relied on morphology and DNA sequence comparisons of the internal transcribed spacer region of the nuclear rDNA (ITS) and the β-tubulin gene regions. Empl...
full textPhylogeny and taxonomy of the genus Gliocladiopsis
Using a global set of isolates and a phylogenetic approach employing DNA sequence data from five genes (β-tubulin, histone H3, internal transcribed spacer region, 28S large subunit region and translation elongation factor 1-α), the taxonomic status of the genus Gliocladiopsis (Glionectria) (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) was re-evaluated. Gliocladiopsis sagariensis is reinstated as type species for ...
