Hemisphere-scale differences in conifer evolutionary dynamics
- A. Leslie, J. Beaulieu, H. S. Rai, P. Crane, M. Donoghue, S. Mathews
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 17 September 2012
Fundamental differences in the distribution of oceans and landmasses in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres potentially impact patterns of biological diversity in the two areas. The evolutionary… Expand
MULTIGENE ANALYSES OF MONOCOT RELATIONSHIPS : A SUMMARY
- Mark W. Chase, M. Fay, +17 authors H. S. Rai
- 2006
We present an analysis of supra-familial relationships of monocots based on a combined matrix of nuclear ISS and partial 26S rONA, plastid atpB, matK, ndhF, and rbcL, and mitochondrial atpl DNA… Expand

Hydatellaceae identified as a new branch near the base of the angiosperm phylogenetic tree
- Jeffery M. Saarela, H. S. Rai, +5 authors S. Graham
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 15 March 2007
Although the relationship of angiosperms to other seed plants remains controversial, great progress has been made in identifying the earliest extant splits in flowering-plant phylogeny, with the… Expand
Widespread Triploidy in Western North American Aspen (Populus tremuloides)
- K. Mock, C. Callahan, +8 authors P. Wolf
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 31 October 2012
We document high rates of triploidy in aspen (Populus tremuloides) across the western USA (up to 69% of genets), and ask whether the incidence of triploidy across the species range corresponds with… Expand
Phylogenetic Relationships of Monocots Based on the Highly Informative Plastid Gene ndhF
- T. Givnish, J. Pires, +15 authors K. Sytsma
- Biology
- 2006
We used ndhF sequence variation to reconstruct relationships across 282 taxa representing 78 monocot families and all 12 orders. The resulting tree is highly resolved and places commelinids sister to… Expand
Robust Inference of Monocot Deep Phylogeny Using an Expanded Multigene Plastid Data Set
- Sean W. Grahan, J. Zgurski, +11 authors H. S. Rai
- Biology
- 2006
We use multiple photosynthetic, chlororespiratory, and plastid translation apparatus loci and their associated noncoding regions (ca. 16 per taxon, prior to alignment) to make strongly supported… Expand
Inference of higher-order conifer relationships from a multi-locus plastid data set
- H. S. Rai, P. Reeves, R. Peakall, R. Olmstead, S. Graham
- Biology
- 12 June 2008
We reconstructed the broad backbone of conifer phylogeny from a survey of 15–17 plastid loci and associated noncoding regions from exemplar conifer species. Parsimony and likelihood analyses recover… Expand
Repeated evolution of net venation and fleshy fruits among monocots in shaded habitats confirms a priori predictions: evidence from an ndhF phylogeny
- T. Givnish, J. Pires, +15 authors K. Sytsma
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 22 July 2005
We present a well-resolved, highly inclusive phylogeny for monocots, based on ndhF sequence variation, and use it to test a priori hypotheses that net venation and vertebrate-dispersed fleshy fruits… Expand
Genotyping-by-Sequencing for Populus Population Genomics: An Assessment of Genome Sampling Patterns and Filtering Approaches
- M. Schilling, P. Wolf, +4 authors K. Mock
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 18 April 2014
Continuing advances in nucleotide sequencing technology are inspiring a suite of genomic approaches in studies of natural populations. Researchers are faced with data management and analytical scales… Expand
Aliso 22, pp. 28–51 2006, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF MONOCOTS BASED ON THE HIGHLY INFORMATIVE PLASTID GENE ndhF: EVIDENCE FOR WIDESPREAD CONCERTED CONVERGENCE
We used ndhF sequence variation to reconstruct relationships across 282 taxa representing 78 monocot families and all 12 orders. The resulting tree is highly resolved and places commelinids sister to… Expand
