Running Head: Patterns of Sequence Evolution Patterns of Sequence Evolution and Implications for Parsimony Analysis of Chloroplast DNA
Wendel for helpful comments on the ms., Anna Goebel for discussions of patterns of sequence evolution, and D. Swofford for permission to use the test version of PAUP*. One of the advantages frequently cited for the use of DNA sequence data in phylogeny reconstruction is that explicit models of character evolution, based on our understanding of sequence evolution, may be incorporated into the an...
متن کاملCHLOROPLAST DNA EVOLUTION IN Atriplex
Analysis of chloroplast DNA varia tion in species of Lycopersicon (Solan aceae) has demonstrated the utility of the techniques for assessing phyloge netic relationships among species (Pal mer and Zamir, 1982). A similar but more extensive survey has been initi ated in the genus Atriplex (Chenopo diaceae) using the same techniques. Atriplex is a genus of over 400 de scribed species and ha...
متن کاملMolecular Evolution of Chloroplast DNA Sequences1
Comparative data on the evolution of chloroplast genes are reviewed. The chloroplast genome has maintained a similar structural organization over most plant taxa so far examined. Comparisons of nucleotide sequence divergence among chloroplast genes reveals marked similarity across the plant kingdom and beyond to the cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Estimates of rates of nucleotide substitution...

متن کاملChloroplast DNA phylogeny, reticulate evolution, and biogeography of Paeonia (Paeoniaceae).
The coding region of the mat K gene and two intergenic spacers, psb A-trn H and trn L(UAA)-trn F(GAA), of cpDNA were sequenced to study phylogenetic relationships of 32 Paeonia species. In the psb A-trn H intergenic spacer, short sequences bordered by long inverted repeats have undergone inversions that are often homoplasious mutations. Insertions/deletions found in the two intergenic spacers, ...
