The updated age estimates for major groups of Rubiaceae provide a significant step forward towards the long term goal of establishing a robust temporal framework for the divergence of this biologically diverse and fascinating group of plants.

Molecular systematics and morphological character evolution of the Condamineeae (Rubiaceae).

Morphological ancestral state reconstructions indicate that protogyny have evolved at least two times within the Condamineeae and that indehiscent fruits, loculicidal fruit dehiscence, and intrapetiolar stipules have evolved independently several times.
Phylogenetic structure and clade circumscriptions in the Gardenieae complex (Rubiaceae)
- A. Mouly, Kent Kainulainen, B. Bremer
- Biology
- 1 August 2014
The phylogeny of this large and diverse Rubiaceae-Gardenieae and closely related tribes Bertiereae, Coffeeae, Cremasporeae, Octotropideae, and Pavetteae is reconstructed using an extensive sampling of 108 genera and five plastid DNA regions.

Nuclear ITS provided structured information at all phylogenetic levels, but the main gain from adding nrITS was the increased resolution and average support values also increased but were generally high also without nr ITS and the increase was not statistically significant.
Phylogenetic relationships and new tribal delimitations in subfamily Ixoroideae (Rubiaceae)
- Kent Kainulainen, S. Razafimandimbison, B. Bremer
- Biology
- 1 November 2013
A revised tribal classification, including the description of five new tribes, Airospermeae, Augusteae, Scyphiphoreae, Steenisieae and Trailliaedoxeae is provided, to resolve the phylogeny and assess the tribal delimitations in the expanded Ixoroideae.
Settling a family feud: a high-level phylogenomic framework for the Gentianales based on 353 nuclear genes and partial plastomes.

- Biology, Environmental ScienceAmerican-Eurasian journal of botany
- 13 July 2021
The higher-level phylogenetic relationships within Gentianales are confidently resolved and the division of Rubiaceae into two subfamilies is supported: Cinchonoideae and Rubioideae.
Island hopping, long‐distance dispersal and species radiation in the Western Indian Ocean: historical biogeography of the Coffeeae alliance (Rubiaceae)
- Kent Kainulainen, S. Razafimandimbison, N. Wikström, B. Bremer
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 1 September 2017
Insight is gained into the origins of the WIOR biodiversity and the dynamics of colonization events between the islands, and spatial and temporal hypotheses of the routes of dispersal of the Coffeeae alliance (Rubiaceae) are investigated.
Phylogeny of Euclinia and allied genera of Gardenieae (Rubiaceae), and description of Melanoxerus, an endemic genus of Madagascar
- Kent Kainulainen, B. Bremer
- Biology
- 1 August 2014
Molecular phylogenetic analyses of the Randia clade of the tribe Gardenieae indicate that Casasia and Randia are not monophyletic as presently circumscribed and a taxonomic proposal is made for the recognition of the Malagasy taxon at generic level as Melanoxerus.
Historical biogeography and phylogeny of the pantropical Psychotrieae alliance (Rubiaceae), with particular emphasis on the Western Indian Ocean Region.

- Environmental ScienceAmerican-Eurasian journal of botany
- 1 September 2017
This study reinforces the pivotal role of dispersal in shaping the WIOR biodiversity and as the critical initiating step in the generation of endemic biodiversity on its islands.
