Nucleotide sequences of seven chloroplast (atpB and rbcL, SSU and LSU rDNAs), mitochondrial (atp1, LSU rDNA), and nuclear (18S rDNA) genes from 192 land plants and their algal relatives were analyzed using maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony methods. Liverworts, mosses, hornworts, lycophytes, monilophytes (ferns), seed plants, and angiosperms all represent strongly supported monophyletic groups. Three bryophyte lineages form a paraphyletic group to vascular plants, with liverworts…

Angiosperm phylogeny inferred from sequences of four mitochondrial genes
- Biology
- 2010
A mitochondrial gene‐based angiosperm phylogeny is reconstructed in a maximum likelihood analysis of sequences of four mitochondrial genes, atp1, matR, nad5, and rps3 from 380 species that represent 376 genera and 296 families of seed plants to reconstruct the underlying organismal phylogeny.

Results from this study demonstrate resolution among the four monilophytes lineages, albeit with moderate support; and posit a clade consisting of Equisetaceae and Psilotaceae that is sister to the "true ferns," including Marattiaceae.
Reconstructing the basal angiosperm phylogeny: evaluating information content of mitochondrial genes

Comparisons of results from separate analyses of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes demonstrate that mitochondrial genes, with overall slower rates of substitution than chloropleft genes, are informative phylogenetic markers, and are particularly suitable for resolving deep relationships.
Tree of life for the genera of Chinese vascular plants
- Biology

A phylogenetic tree of Chinese vascular plants (Tracheophyta) is reconstructed using sequences of the chloroplast genes atpB, matK, ndhF, and rbcL and mitochondrial matR and the results showed that two species of Eberhardtia are sister to a clade formed by all other taxa of Sapotaceae, except Sarcosperma.
Chloroplast phylogenomics resolves key relationships in ferns

Chloroplast phylogenomics shows great potential in providing a framework for testing the impact of reticulate evolution in the early evolution of ferns, and has recent parallel advances in the phylogenetics using nuclear data.
Phylogenomics and Coalescent Analyses Resolve Extant Seed Plant Relationships
- BiologyPloS one

The first broad coalescent-based species tree estimation of seed plants using genome-scale nuclear and plastid data is provided, identifying that extant gymnosperms are monophyletic and cycads plus Ginkgo form a clade that is sister to all remaining extant gymnOSperms.

P phylogenetic results will facilitate evolutionary developmental studies of these key traits of the plant life cycle, multicellularity, and gravitropism, which will help to gain mechanistic understanding on how plants adapted to environmental challenges when they colonized the land during one of the major transitions in evolution of life.

Land Plant Molecular Phylogenetics: A Review with Comments on Evaluating Incongruence Among Phylogenies
- Biology
- 2018
The molecular phylogenetic evidence for relationships is reviewed and evaluated and it is concluded that the two better-supported hypotheses are, firstly, that the bryophytes are a monophyletic group, and secondly, and less likely, that a lineage consisting of liverworts and mosses branched first among land plants with the hornworts the most-closely related lineage to tracheophytes.
Major transitions in the evolution of early land plants: a bryological perspective.

This paper reviews phylogenetic, developmental, anatomical, genetic and paleontological data with the aim of reconstructing the succession of events that shaped major land plant lineages and concludes that bryophytes are the key to a better understanding of the early evolution of land plants.

A data set of four plastid genes, three mitochondrial genes, and one nuclear gene for 19 exemplars representing the five groups of living seed plants revealed a gymnosperm clade that is sister to angiosperms and the preferred topology based on the LR test is that Gnetales are sister to Pseudotsuga.
