The worldwide holoparasitic Apodanthaceae confidently placed in the Cucurbitales by nuclear and mitochondrial gene trees [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Of the c. 450 families of flowering plants, only two are left "unplaced" in the most recent APG classification of angiosperms. One of these is the Apodanthaceae, a clade of c.

Phylogenetic inference in Rafflesiales: the influence of rate heterogeneity and horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2004 Background The phylogenetic relationships among the holoparasites of Rafflesiales have remained enigmatic for over a century. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies using the mitochondrial matR gene placed Rafflesia, Rhizanthes and Sapria (Rafflesiaceae s.

A tale of two lineages: how the strains of the earliest divergent symbiotic Frankia clade spread over the world [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 It is currently assumed that around 100 million years ago, the common ancestor to the Fabales, Fagales, Rosales and Cucurbitales in Gondwana, developed a root nodule symbiosis with a nitrogen-fixing bacterium. The symbiotic trait evolved first in Frankia
