Within Poales, the clade (Poaceae, Ecdeiocoleaceae, Joinvilleaceae) has previously received robust support from DNA sequence data from a range of genes. However, the question of which family (or set of families) is the sister group of Poaceae has not been answered with any degree of confidence, to date. Using Ecdeiocolea monostachya as the only representative of its family, other researchers have found the clade to resolve (although mostly with low levels of support) as (Joinvillea (Ecdeiocolea…

Inference of phylogenetic relationships among the subfamilies of grasses (Poaceae: Poales) using meso-scale exemplar-based sampling of the plastid genome.

To clarify phylogenetic relationships among grass (Poaceae) subfamilies and to better resolve the placement of Poaceae in Poales, a survey of plastid genes and associated noncoding regions found general concordance in relationships and support levels among gene regions and data partitions across analyses.

Nuclear genes, matK and the phylogeny of the Poales

Phylogenetic relationships within the monocot order Poales have been well studied, but several unrelated questions remain. These include the relationships among the basal families in the order,…

The chloroplast genome of Anomochloa marantoidea (Anomochlooideae; Poaceae) comprises a mixture of grass-like and unique features.

Features in the complete plastome of Anomochloa marantoidea (Poaceae) were investigated, finding that the crown node of this species diverged before those of any other grass subfamily and is atypically short with no evidence of the ψrpl23 locus found in all other Poaceae.

Assembling the Tree of the Monocotyledons: Plastome Sequence Phylogeny and Evolution of Poales1

The results of an initial project by the Monocot AToL (Angiosperm Tree of Life) team on phylogeny and evolution in Poales are presented, using sequence data for 81 plastid genes from 83 species of angiosperms and recovered highly concordant relationships using maximum likelihood (ML) and maximum parsimony (MP).

Phylogenetic relationships in the grass family (Poaceae) based on the nuclear single copy locus topoisomerase 6 compared with chloroplast DNA

The comparatively conserved structure of the newly studied Topo6 region makes it a promising marker from the nuclear genome that could be successfully PCR-amplified to study higher-level phylogenetic relationships within grasses and perhaps between families within the order Poales.

A new subfamilial and tribal classification of Restionaceae (Poales)

Two tribes, Restioneae Bartl.

A 250 plastome phylogeny of the grass family (Poaceae): topological support under different data partitions

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.

Morphological evolution in the graminid clade: comparative floral anatomy of the grass relatives Flagellariaceae and Joinvilleaceae

This study highlights the presence of a pollen-tube transmitting tissue (PTTT) or solid style in the gynoecium of Flagellaria, as also in many Poaceae, but not in Joinvillea or Ecdeiocoleaceae.

A comparative study on 193 plastomes of Poaceae for validity and implications of individual barcode genes and concatenated protein coding sequences with selected plastomes of grasses from the desert of India

Phylogenomics and Plastome Evolution of Tropical Forest Grasses (Leptaspis, Streptochaeta: Poaceae)

Estimates for deep divergences among grasses were older than previous such estimates, likely influenced by more complete taxonomic and molecular sampling and the use of recently available or previously unused fossil calibration points.

Phylogeny of the Grasses (Poaceae) Revisited

Missing structural data were determined and analyzed as well as sequence data for ndhF and rhcL, the two most complete plastid sequence data sets, demonstrating that highly divergent outgroups may unpredictably alter ingroup relationships.

Phylogenetic relationships among Poaceae and related families as inferred from morphology, inversions in the plastid genome, and sequence data from the mitochondrial and plastid genomes.

Analysis of the morphological and molecular data places Poaceae in an unresolved relationship relative to several other taxa, including Joinvillea and Ecdeiocolea, while analysis of the molecular and combined data resolves Ec deiocolesa as sister of Poaceae, with joinvillea the sister of this group.

Evolution of reproductive structures in grasses (Poaceae) inferred by sister-group comparison with their putative closest living relatives, Ecdeiocoleaceae.

Comparisons of sister-group comparisons indicate that some characteristic grass features, notably the scutellum, do not occur in their putative closest relatives and that more data is needed on early-diverging grass genera to resolve issues.

Phylogeny and subfamilial classification of the grasses (Poaceae)

A large collaborative effort has yiel(led a comprehensive study of the phylogeny and a new suhfanilial classification of the grass family (Poaceae/Graminieae) and 1 new subfamily (Danthonioideae) is proposed.

Chloroplast DNA inversions and the origin of the grass family (Poaceae).

These inversions provide a nested set of phylogenetic characters, indicating a hierarchy of relationships in the grasses and allies, with Joinvilleaceae identified as the likely sister group to the Poaceae.

Phylogenetics and chromosomal evolution in the Poaceae (grasses)

Higher basic chromosome numbers are maintained in basal taxa of all grass subfamilies, whereas smaller numbers are found in terminal species, which refutes the 'secondary polyploidy hypothesis', but partially supports the 'reduction hypothesis' previously proposed for chromosomal evolution in the Poaceae.

An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG IV

A revised and updated classification for the families of the flowering plants is provided and the use of bracketing families that could be included optionally in broader circumscriptions with other related families are expanded.

Identifying the basal angiosperm node in chloroplast genome phylogenies: sampling one's way out of the Felsenstein zone.

Whereas long sequences reduce variance in branch lengths and molecular dating estimates, the impact of improved taxon sampling on the rooting of the angiosperm phylogeny together with the results of parametric bootstrap analyses demonstrate how long-branch attraction might mislead genome-scale phylogenetic analyses.

Based on analyses of seven genes representing all three genomes, the following clades have high bootstrap support: Acorales (with the single genus Acorus) is sister to the rest of the monocots, followed successively by Alismatales (including Araceae and Tofieldiaceae), Petrosaviales, Dioscoreales/Pandanales, Liliale, Asparagales, and Arecales.

Robust Inference of Monocot Deep Phylogeny Using an Expanded Multigene Plastid Data Set

Despite substantial variation in the overall rate of molecular evolution among lineages, inferred amounts of change among codon-position data partitions are correlated with each other across the monocot tree, consistent with low incongruence between these partitions.
