Evolution of the angiosperms: calibrating the family tree
- N. Wikström, V. Savolainen, M. Chase
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 7 November 2001
Growing evidence of morphological diversity in angiosperm flowers, seeds and pollen from the mid Cretaceous and the presence of derived lineages from increasingly older geological deposits both imply… Expand
Angiosperm phylogeny inferred from 18S rDNA, rbcL, and atpB sequences
- D. E. Soltis, P. Soltis, +13 authors J. S. Farris
- Biology
- 1 August 2000
Abstract A phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set for 560 angiosperms and seven outgroups based on three genes, 18S rDNA (1855 bp), rbcL (1428 bp), and atpB (1450 bp) representing a total of… Expand
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
DNA barcoding the floras of biodiversity hotspots
- R. Lahaye, M. van der Bank, +7 authors V. Savolainen
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 26 February 2008
DNA barcoding is a technique in which species identification is performed by using DNA sequences from a small fragment of the genome, with the aim of contributing to a wide range of ecological and… Expand
The earliest angiosperms: evidence from mitochondrial, plastid and nuclear genomes
Angiosperms have dominated the Earth's vegetation since the mid-Cretaceous (90 million years ago), providing much of our food, fibre, medicine and timber, yet their origin and early evolution have… Expand
Darwin's abominable mystery: Insights from a supertree of the angiosperms
- T. J. Davies, T. Barraclough, M. Chase, P. Soltis, D. Soltis, V. Savolainen
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 6 February 2004
Angiosperms are among the major terrestrial radiations of life and a model group for studying patterns and processes of diversification. As a tool for future comparative studies, we compiled a… Expand
Molecular phylogenetics of Caryophyllales based on nuclear 18S rDNA and plastid rbcL, atpB, and matK DNA sequences.
- Philippe Cuénoud, V. Savolainen, L. Chatrou, M. Powell, R. J. Grayer, M. Chase
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 2002
To study the inter- and infrafamilial phylogenetic relationships in the order Caryophyllales sensu lato (s.l.), ∼930 base pairs of the matK plastid gene have been sequenced and analyzed for 127 taxa.… Expand
Oligocene CO2 Decline Promoted C4 Photosynthesis in Grasses
- P. Christin, G. Besnard, +4 authors N. Salamin
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 8 January 2008
C4 photosynthesis is an adaptation derived from the more common C3 photosynthetic pathway that confers a higher productivity under warm temperature and low atmospheric CO2 concentration [1, 2]. C4… Expand
Angiosperm phylogeny based on matK sequence information.
- K. Hilu, T. Borsch, +13 authors L. Chatrou
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 1 December 2003
Plastid matK gene sequences for 374 genera representing all angiosperm orders and 12 genera of gymnosperms were analyzed using parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) approaches. Traditionally,… Expand
Phylogenetics of flowering plants based on combined analysis of plastid atpB and rbcL gene sequences.
- V. Savolainen, M. Chase, +7 authors Y. L. Qiu
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 June 2000
Following (1) the large-scale molecular phylogeny of seed plants based on plastid rbcL gene sequences (published in 1993 by Chase et al., Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 80:528-580) and (2) the 18S nuclear… Expand
