It is found that large expansions of gene families preceded the origins of green plants, land plants and vascular plants, whereas whole-genome duplications are inferred to have occurred repeatedly throughout the evolution of flowering plants and ferns.

resolution of these and other critical branch points in the phylogeny of Poaceae will help to better understand the selective forces that drove the radiation of the BOP and PACMAD clades comprising more than 99.9% of grass diversity.

The nomenclatural and taxonomic results of this study are a key to the nine species of Sauromatum, and five new combinations, as well as two new chromosome counts and the implications of the molecular phylogeny for the evolution of SaurOMatum karyotypes.

There was no evidence that mycorrhizal specificity contributed to rarity in Drakaea, however, the formation ofMycorrhiza being mostly restricted to a specific microhabitat may limit the abundance of DraKaea in some landscapes.
