The current molecular systematics of angiosperms 1 recognizes the basal angiosperms and
five major angiosperm lineages: the Chloranthaceae, the magnoliids, the monocots, …

Conflicting relationships have been found between diversification rate and temperature across
disparate clades of life. Here, we use a supermatrix comprising nearly 20,000 species of …

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 …

Angiosperms have dominated the Earth's vegetation since the mid-Cretaceous (90 million
years ago) 1 , providing much of our food, fibre, medicine and timber, yet their origin and early …

Phylogenetic relationships among the four major lineages of land plants (liverworts, mosses,
hornworts, and vascular plants) remain vigorously contested; their resolution is essential to …

Vitaceae (the grape family) consist of 16 genera and ca. 950 species primarily distributed in
tropical regions. The family is well‐known for the economic importance of grapes, and is …

Background Internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) is already one
of the most popular phylogenetic and DNA barcoding markers. However, the existence of its …

The phylogeny of Vitaceae was reconstructed sampling 114 accessions of Vitaceae and the
outgroup Leea of Leeaceae, using three noncoding plastid markers: trnC‐petN, trnH‐psbA, …

DNA sequences of five mitochondrial, plastid, and nuclear genes from 105 species (103
genera and 63 families) representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and basal …

Sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS region were used to estimate phylogenetic relationships
of Alnus. We recognize three major clades in Alnus, including subgenera Alnobetula, …
