Systematics and Evolution of Tarasa Philippi (Malvaceae): An enigmatic Andean polyploid genus
نویسندگان
چکیده
A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Malveae (subfamily Malvoideae, Malvaceae) was undertaken using the internal transcribed spacer region of the 18S-26S nuclear ribosomal repeat (ITS). This work represents the first exhaustive study to evaluate the infratribal circumscription and generic affinities using molecular sequence data. The ITS phylogeny indicates that the informal tribal alliances and several genera are not monophyletic. Two main clades were reconstructed in the phylogeny: one clade pertaining to the Abutilon, Bakeridesia, Batesimalva, Fryxellia, Gaya, Plagianthus, Robinsonella, and Sida alliances, and a second large clade containing genera from the Anisodontea, Callirhoe, Kearnemalvastrum, Malva, Malvastrum, Modiola, Napaea, Phymosia, Sphaeralcea, and Sidalcea alliances.

Paralogy and orthology in the MALVACEAE rpb2 gene family: investigation of gene duplication in hibiscus.
A sample of the second largest subunit of low-copy nuclear RNA polymerase II (rpb2) sequences from Malvaceae subfamily Malvoideae suggests that rpb2 has been duplicated early in the subfamily's history. Hibiscus and related taxa possess two rpb2 genes, both of which produce congruent phylogenetic patterns that are largely concordant with cpDNA topologies. No evidence of functional divergence or...
متن کاملContribution to the molecular systematics of the genus Capoeta from the south Caspian Sea basin using mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)
Traditionally, Capoeta populations from the southern Caspian Sea basin have been considered as Capoeta capoeta gracilis. Study on the phylogenetic relationship of Capoeta species using mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences show that Capoeta population from the southern Caspian Sea basin is distinct species and receive well support (posterior probability of 100%). Based on the tree topologie...

Lundberg, M., 2011. Systematics and polyploid evolution in Potentilleae (Rosaceae). This thesis comprises studies of the phylogenetic relationships in the flowering plant clade Potentilleae in Rosaceae. The relationships were elucidated by using DNA sequence data from the nuclear genome as well as from the plastid genome. In particular, the focus of the studies was the investigation of allopoly...
متن کاملTWO NEW SPECIES OF ALCEA FROM IRAN
Two new species of Alcea L. (Malvaceae)in Iran, namely, A. iranshahrii from Fars Province and A. mazandaranica from Mazandaran Province are described. Their descriptions and taxonomic relationships are also given. In addition, seed coat microsculpturing is examined using Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM). The seed coat patterns observed are fairly uniformed among the genus. It w...
متن کاملEvolutionary history of the genus Rhamdia (Teleostei: Pimelodidae) in Central America.
We constructed phylogenetic hypotheses for Mesoamerican Rhamdia, the only genus of primary freshwater fish represented by sympatric species across Central America. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred from analysis of 1990 base pairs (bp) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), represented by the complete nucleotide sequences of the cytochrome b (cyt b) and the ATP synthase 8 and 6 (ATPase 8/6) genes...
