Evolution of the rbcS gene family in Solanaceae: concerted evolution and gain and loss of introns, with a description of new statistical guidelines for determining the number of unique gene copies.
Miller, Ryan JarekConcerted evolution is a pattern of gene evolution resulting from mechanisms that homogenize gene copies within a lineage. Two mechanisms have been identified that may homogenize <italic>rbcS</italic> copies within Solanaceae. ... -
Made in the Americas: How three lineages of flowering plants evolved and dispersed across the Neotropics and the World
Ragsac, Audrey ClaireBignoniaceae is a flowering plant family of ca. 850 species. The family has the highest species diversity in the Neotropics, but taxa are also found in tropical Africa and Asia, as well as the temperate zones in both the ... -
Phylogeny and biogeography of Neotropical flowering plant tribe Citharexyleae (Verbenaceae)
Frost, Laura AThe New World tropics, or Neotropics, located within tropical latitudes of North and South America, are one of the most diverse ecoregion in the world. However, this diversity is poorly understood in terms of described ... -
The systematics and evolution of Lantaneae (Verbenaceae), a molecular phylogenetic approach
Lu-Irving, Patricia (2013-07-25)Lantaneae are a morphologically variable group of 300-400 species, representing the largest tribe within Verbenaceae. They are widespread and diverse in the new world tropics and subtropics; some members are native to ... -
Systematics of Buddleja (Scrophulariaceae): phylogenetic relationships, historical biogeography, and phylogenomics
Chau, John HoiPlants display incredible diversity, in morphology and spatial distribution, which can best be understood in an evolutionary context. The reconstruction of how this diversity has evolved can illuminate patterns and trends ...
