The Phylogeny of Calligonum and Pteropyrum (Polygonaceae) Based on Nuclear Ribosomal DNA ITS and Chloroplast trnL-F Sequences
Authors
Abstract:
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 with Atraphaxis, instead allied with a clade in which the genus is nested. Infrageneric relationships in Calligonum, due to the paucity of informative nucleotide sites in both DNA regions are not resolved.

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...
full textPhylogeny of Chloranthus (Chloranthaceae) based on nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid TRNL-F sequence data.
The internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA and trnL-F region of the chloroplast DNA were sequenced for all ten species of Chloranthus and the outgroup Sarcandra (Chloranthaceae). Parsimony analyses of separate and combined data sets strongly suggest that Chloranthus is monophyletic and can be divided into two major clades: one containing C. erectus, C. spicatus, C. serr...
full textViburnum Phylogeny Based on Chloroplast trnK Intron and Nuclear Ribosomal ITS DNA Sequences
Phylogenetic analyses of chloroplast trnK intron and nuclear ribosomal ITS DNA sequences yield signicant improvements in our understanding of relationships, character evolution, and biogeography in Viburnum (Adoxaceae). We conrm that most of the ten traditionally recognized sections are monophyletic. The most striking exception is Odontotinus, which is divided into: (i) a purple-fruited New W...

The sundew genus Drosera consists of carnivorous plants with active flypaper traps and includes nearly 150 species distributed mainly in Australia, Africa, and South America, with some Northern Hemisphere species. In addition to confused intrageneric classification of Drosera, the intergeneric relationships among the Drosera and two other genera in the Droseraceae with snap traps, Dionaea and A...
