PREMISE OF STUDY Many angiosperms have fruit morphologies that result in seeds from the same plant having different dispersal capabilities. A prime example is found in the Brassiceae (Brassicaceae), which has many members with segmented or heteroarthrocarpic fruits. Since only 40% of the genera are heteroarthrocarpic, this tribe provides an opportunity to study the evolution of an ecologically significant novelty and its variants. METHODS We analyzed nuclear (PHYA) and plastid (matK…

Repeated evolution of a morphological novelty: a phylogenetic analysis of the inflated fruiting calyx in the Physalideae tribe (Solanaceae)
TLDR
The analyses of trait evolution reveal that the inflated fruiting calyx has evolved many times and that the trajectory towards this phenotype is generally stepwise and directional.
Diversification times among Brassica (Brassicaceae) crops suggest hybrid formation after 20 million years of divergence.
TLDR
Evidence is found that the tribe Brassiceae originated around the intersection forming between the Arabian Peninsula and Saharan Africa approximately 24 million years ago (Mya), and the maternal genomes of the three diploid crop Brassicas are not closely related, which challenges previous hypotheses about the biogeographic origins.
A fully resolved chloroplast phylogeny of the brassica crops and wild relatives (Brassicaceae: Brassiceae): Novel clades and potential taxonomic implications
TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis recovered eight well-supported clades in the tribe Brassiceae including a new African clade (Henophyton) comprised of genera that have not been previously sampled, and relationships within and between the eight major clades are strongly supported for the first time.
Repeated evolution of a morphological novelty: a phylogenetic analysis of the inflated fruiting calyx in the Physalideae tribe (Solanaceae).
TLDR
The inflated fruiting calyx has evolved many times and that the trajectory toward this phenotype is generally stepwise and irreversible, providing a strong foundation for studying the genetic and developmental mechanisms responsible for the repeated origins of this charismatic fruit trait.
Understanding the basis of a novel fruit type in Brassicaceae: conservation and deviation in expression patterns of six genes
TLDR
Overall conservation in gene expression patterns between dehiscent segments of Erucaria erucarioides and Arabidopsis is demonstrated, and modifications in the valve margin positioning genes are suggested to be responsible for differences between heteroarthrocarpic andArabidopsis-like fruits.
A world-wide perspective on crucifer speciation and evolution: phylogenetics, biogeography and trait evolution in tribe Arabideae.
TLDR
This study provides the first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis for the species assemblage and tests for association of trait and characters, providing the first explanations for the enormous species radiation since the mid Miocene.
Phylogenetic Analysis Reveals Multiple Cases of Morphological Parallelism and Taxonomic Polyphyly in Lomatium (Apiaceae)
TLDR
This work explores patterns of evolution in traditionally important morphological characters using Bayesian stochastic character mapping on a phylogeny constructed from novel nrDNA and cpDNA sequence data for 96 specific and infraspecific taxa of the estimated 200 species in the group.

Phylogeny of the parasitic plant family Orobanchaceae inferred from phytochrome A.
TLDR
The robust phylogenetic hypothesis inferred from the PHYA data provides a much better context in which to evaluate the evolution of parasitism within Orobanchaceae, the largest of the parasitic angiosperm families.
Molecular systematics of the Brassicaceae: evidence from coding plastidic matK and nuclear Chs sequences.
TLDR
It is concluded that tribe Brassiceae might be the only monophyletic group of the traditional tribes, and tribes Lepidieae, Arabideae, and Sisymbrieae are not monophylets.
Brassicaceae phylogeny and trichome evolution.
TLDR
To estimate the evolutionary history of the mustard family, 113 species were sampled, representing 101 of the roughly 350 genera and 17 of the 19 tribes of the family, for the chloroplast gene ndhF and the Shimodaira-Hasegawa test (S-H test) was used to examine the utility of trichome branching patterns for describing monophyletic groups in the ndhf phylogeny.
Brassicaceae phylogeny inferred from phytochrome A and ndhF sequence data: tribes and trichomes revisited.
TLDR
It is indicated that dendritic, medifixed, and stellate trichomes likely evolved independently several times in the Brassicaceae, and the evolution of different trichome morphologies using the AU test.
Subtribe Vellinae (Brassiceae, Brassicaceae): a Combined Analysis of ITS nrDNA Sequences and Morphological Data
Phylogenetic relationships in subtribe Vellinae (Brassiceae, Brassicaceae) were studied using combined parsimony analysis of nucleotide sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers…
Molecular relationships in subtribe Brassicinae (Cruciferae, tribe Brassiceae)
TLDR
Phylogenetic analyses indicated a clear division of the subtribe into two main lineages designated here as Rapa–Oleracea and Nigra, and Polyphyly was evident in five genera as indicated by their placement in both lineages and (or) further separation into groups within a lineage.
Molecular systematics of Brassica and allied genera (Subtribe Brassicinae, Brassiceae) —chloroplast genome and cytodeme congruence
TLDR
Levels of genetic divergence suggested by the cpDNA data were consistent with cytodeme recognition in the subtribe, but provided evidence for inconsistencies in the current generic delimitations based on morphology.
Toward a global phylogeny of the Brassicaceae.
TLDR
Results from parsimony ratchet and Bayesian analyses recovered little support for the backbone of the phylogeny, suggesting that many lineages of Brassicaceae have undergone rapid radiations that may ultimately be difficult to resolve with any single locus.
Phylogenetic structure in the grass family (Poaceae): evidence from the nuclear gene phytochrome B.
TLDR
The PHYB phylogeny is the first nuclear gene tree to address comprehensively phylogenetic relationships among grasses, and corroborates several inferences made from chloroplast gene trees, including the PACC clade, and the basal position of the herbaceous bamboos Anomochloa, Streptochaeta, and Pharus.
Phylogenetic implications of chloroplast DNA restriction site variation in subtribes Raphaninae and Cakilinae (Brassicaceae, tribe Brassiceae)
TLDR
The cpDNA data supported separate subtribal status for Crambe (Raphaninae) and indicated two major lineages corresponding to sect.
