A DNA barcode for land plants
- P. Hollingsworth, L. Forrest, +49 authors D. Little
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 4 August 2009
DNA barcoding involves sequencing a standard region of DNA as a tool for species identification. However, there has been no agreement on which region(s) should be used for barcoding land plants. To… Expand
Choosing and Using a Plant DNA Barcode
- P. Hollingsworth, S. Graham, D. Little
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 26 May 2011
The main aim of DNA barcoding is to establish a shared community resource of DNA sequences that can be used for organismal identification and taxonomic clarification. This approach was successfully… Expand
Phylotranscriptomic analysis of the origin and early diversification of land plants
- N. Wickett, Siavash Mirarab, +39 authors J. Leebens-Mack
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 29 October 2014
Significance Early branching events in the diversification of land plants and closely related algal lineages remain fundamental and unresolved questions in plant evolutionary biology. Accurate… Expand
Multiple Multilocus DNA Barcodes from the Plastid Genome Discriminate Plant Species Equally Well
- A. Fazekas, K. S. Burgess, +6 authors S. Barrett
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 30 July 2008
A universal barcode system for land plants would be a valuable resource, with potential utility in fields as diverse as ecology, floristics, law enforcement and industry. However, the application of… Expand
Are plant species inherently harder to discriminate than animal species using DNA barcoding markers?
- A. Fazekas, Prasad R. Kesanakurti, +6 authors B. Husband
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology resources
- 1 May 2009
The ability to discriminate between species using barcoding loci has proved more difficult in plants than animals, raising the possibility that plant species boundaries are less well defined. Here,… Expand
Microstructural Changes in Noncoding Chloroplast DNA: Interpretation, Evolution, and Utility of Indels and Inversions in Basal Angiosperm Phylogenetic Inference
- S. Graham, P. Reeves, A. C. Burns, R. Olmstead
- Biology
- International Journal of Plant Sciences
- 1 November 2000
Microstructural changes in several very slowly evolving chloroplast introns and intergenic spacers were characterized across a broad range of angiosperms, including most of the major basal lineages.… 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
Early genome duplications in conifers and other seed plants
- Z. Li, Anthony E Baniaga, +4 authors Michael S. Barker
- Biology, Medicine
- Science Advances
- 1 November 2015
A new phylogenomic approach reveals that conifer genomes are duplicated despite rare polyploidy among extant species. Polyploidy is a common mode of speciation and evolution in angiosperms (flowering… Expand
Data access for the 1,000 Plants (1KP) project
- Naim Matasci, Ling-Hong Hung, +41 authors G. K. Wong
- Computer Science, Medicine
- GigaScience
- 27 October 2014
TLDR
Utility of 17 chloroplast genes for inferring the phylogeny of the basal angiosperms.
- S. Graham, R. Olmstead
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 1 November 2000
Sequences from 14 slowly evolving chloroplast genes (including three highly conserved introns) were obtained for representative basal angiosperm and seed-plant taxa, using novel primers described… Expand
