New insights into evolutionary trends in the economically important oat tribe (Aveneae) are presented. Plastid trnT-F and nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences were used to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Aveneae-Poeae-Seslerieae complex (Pooideae, Poaceae) through Bayesian- and maximum parsimony-based analyses, separately and in combination. The plastid data identified a strongly supported core Ave...

Phylogenetic relationships in the grass family (Poaceae), with specific attention to the internal structure of subfamily Pooideae, are analyzed on the basis of nucleotide sequence variation in plastidencoded genes (ma/K, ndKP, ndhïl, and rhcL,). The resulting phylogenetic hypothesis was examined with attention to the taxonomic distributions of two inversions and an insertion/deletion within ndh...

Se aportan datos corológicos y nomenclaturales de algunas especies gramíneas la tribu Poeae (Poaceae) pertenecientes a los géneros Agrostis, Aira, Neoschischkinia Holcus.

Morphological studies and phylogenetic analysis based on the ITS sequence data showed that there is considerable differences within the Puccinia striiformis complex on members of Triticeae(Triticum and Hordeum), Dactylis glomerata and Poa pratensis. Based on the above molecular and morphological data, we suggest dividing P. striiformis as follows: - P. striiformis s. str. mainly on Triticeae. -...

Whole plastid genomes are being sequenced rapidly from across the green plant tree of life, and phylogenetic analyses of these are increasing resolution and support for relationships that have varied among or been unresolved in earlier single- and multi-gene studies. Pooideae, the cool-season grass lineage, is the largest of the 12 grass subfamilies and includes important temperate cereals, tur...

The article deals with the problem of nomenclature and classification phytoliths. division “crenate” morphotype (ICPN 2.0) into two forms – polylobate wavy is substantiated using Pooideae grasses from south Western Siberia. An analysis literature data confirms heterogeneity this various interpretations its variations. group includes phytoliths high in lateral projection distinct lobes, flattene...

Members of the core pooids represent the most important crops in temperate zones including wheat, barley, and oats. Their importance as crops is largely due to the grain, particularly the storage capabilities of the endosperm. In this study, a comprehensive survey of grain morphology and endosperm organization in representatives of wild and cultivated species throughout the core pooids was perf...
