A molecular phylogeny of the Solanaceae
- R. Olmstead, L. Bohs, +7 authors S. Collier
- Biology
- 1 November 2008
A phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and trnLF. With 89 genera and 190 species included, this represents a nearly comprehensive genus-level sampling and… Expand
A phylogenetic framework for evolutionary study of the nightshades (Solanaceae): a dated 1000-tip tree
- T. Särkinen, L. Bohs, R. Olmstead, S. Knapp
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 30 September 2013
BackgroundThe Solanaceae is a plant family of great economic importance. Despite a wealth of phylogenetic work on individual clades and a deep knowledge of particular cultivated species such as… Expand
Phylogenetic relationships among the “spiny solanums” (Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum, Solanaceae)
- R. Levin, Nicole R. Myers, L. Bohs
- Biology
- 2006
Species of Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum comprise almost one third of the genus and are distributed worldwide. Members of this group are defined by their sharp epidermal prickles; thus, they are… Expand
Major clades in Solanum based on ndhF sequence data
- L. Bohs
- Biology
- 2005
Analysis of sequence data from the chloroplast gene ndhF identifies at least 12 major well-supported clades within the genus Solanum. These are briefly described, given informal clade names, and… Expand

A Three-Gene Phylogeny of the Genus Solanum (Solanaceae)
- Terri L. Weese, L. Bohs
- Biology
- 1 April 2007
Abstract Solanum, with approximately 1,500 species, is the largest genus in the Solanaceae and includes economically important species such as the tomato, potato, and eggplant. In part due to its… Expand
Phylogeny and provisional classification of the Solanaceae based on chloroplast DNA
- Richard G. O lmstead, A. Sweere, R. Spangler, L. Bohs, D. Palmer
- Biology
- 1999
A phylogenetic analysis of the Solanaceae based on chloroplast DNA variation is presented. Restriction site maps were determined for 79 species (52 genera) for 11 restriction enzymes. Sequences of… Expand

African spiny Solanum (subgenus Leptostemonum, Solanaceae): a thorny phylogenetic tangle
- M. Vorontsova, M. Vorontsova, S. R. Stern, S. R. Stern, L. Bohs, S. Knapp
- Biology
- 1 October 2013
Although most diverse in the New World tropics, approximately 100 species of Solanum (Solanaceae) are native to continental Africa and Madagascar. The majority of these are ‘spiny solanums’ (subgenus… Expand
Ancient polymorphism reveals unidirectional breeding system shifts
- B. Igić, L. Bohs, J. Kohn
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 20 January 2006
Loss of complex characters is thought to be irreversible (Dollo's law). However, hypotheses of irreversible evolution are remarkably difficult to test, especially when character transitions are… Expand
Phylogenetic relationships in Solanum (Solanaceae) based on ndhF sequences
- L. Bohs, R. Olmstead
- Biology
- 1997
A phylogenetic analysis was conducted using sequence data from the chloroplast gene ndhF. Sequences were obtained from 25 species of Solanaceae, including 18 species of Solanum representing five of… Expand
Eggplant origins: out of Africa, into the orient.
- Terri L. Weese, Terri L. Weese, L. Bohs
- Biology
- 1 February 2010
The eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), also known as aubergine or brinjal, has been cultivated for centuries in the Old World and is currently a crop species of global importance. Despite this,… Expand
