Multiple ITS Copies Reveal Extensive Hybridization within Rheum (Polygonaceae), a Genus That Has Undergone Rapid Radiation [PDF]
During adaptive radiation events, characters can arise multiple times due to parallel evolution, but transfer of traits through hybridization provides an alternative explanation for the same character appearing in apparently non-sister lineages.

Molecular phylogeny of Muscari (Asparagaceae) inferred from cpDNA sequences
In this study, we tried to figure out phylogenetic relationships and taxonomical positions of closely related Muscari species. Four different cpDNA regions including both coding and non-coding ones, namely, matK, trnT(UGU)-trnL(UAA) intergenic spacer (IGS), trnL(UAA) intron and trnL(UAA)-F(GAA) IGS, were employed to determine the exact circumscription ...

Genetic Diversity Analysis of cpDNA in Turkish Abies Taxa
Aim of study: Five Abies taxa naturally distributed in Turkey. Abies nordmanniana has three subspecies and A. cilica has two subspecies. In this study, we aimed to show phylogenetic relationships both in Turkish taxa and in other Abies taxa from around the world based on cpDNA regions, trnR-trnN and rps18-rpl20 regions. Material and methods: Following

The utility of NBS profiling for plant systematics: a first study in tuber-bearing Solanum species [PDF]
Systematic relationships are important criteria for researchers and breeders to select materials. We evaluated a novel molecular technique, nucleotide binding site (NBS) profiling, for its potential in phylogeny reconstruction.

Mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA-based phylogeny of Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) [PDF]
Overall phylogenetic relationships within the genus Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) were inferred based on DNA sequences from mitochondrial(mt)-encoded nad1 b/c exons and from chloroplast(cp)-encoded trnL (UAA) 5' exon-trnF (GAA) exon regions using two species
