Potential allopolyploid origin of Ericales revealed with gene-tree reconciliation [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Few incidents of ancient allopolyploidization (polyploidization by hybridization or merging diverged genomes) were previously revealed, although there is significant evidence for the accumulation of whole genome duplications (WGD) in plants.

The Distribution and Phylogeny of Aluminium Accumulating Plants in the Ericales [PDF]

Plant Biology, 2004
Abstract: The distribution of aluminium (Al) accumulation in the Ericales is surveyed, based on semi‐quantitative tests of 114 species and literature data. Al accumulation mainly characterises the families Diapensiaceae, Pentaphylacaceae, Symplocaceae, Ternstroemiaceae, and Theaceae.

Contribution of the Order Ericales to Improving Paleoclimate Reconstructions

Sustainability, 2022
Paleobotanists have long built leaf climate models based on site mean of leaf physiognomic characteristics of woody dicotyledons species (WDS) for estimating past climate. To explore the potential of the order Ericales in estimating paleoclimate, we developed two linear models for each climatic factor.

Phylogenetic inference of Ericales based on plastid genomes and implication of cp-SSRs

BioTechnologia, 2021
Ericales is an ancient eudicot order encompassing numerous species of economic and ornamental values. Despite several phylogenomic studies, the evolutionary relationship among certain families of this group remains uncertain. The present study assessed a

Plastome structure and phylogenetic relationships of Styracaceae (Ericales) [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The Styracaceae are a woody, dicotyledonous family containing 12 genera and an estimated 160 species. Recent studies have shown that Styrax and Sinojackia are monophyletic, Alniphyllum and Bruinsmia cluster into a clade with an approximately ...

Plastid Genome Evolution Across the Roridulaceae-Sarraceniaceae Clade (Ericales) in Relation to Carnivorous Strategies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The Roridulaceae–Sarraceniaceae clade exhibits strikingly divergent carnivorous strategies, providing a framework to examine how trophic shifts influence plastid genome evolution. Comparative plastome analyses reveal recurrent ndh gene disruption across species, while Roridula gorgonias shows pronounced genomic restructuring, including elevated ...

The role of wood anatomy in phylogeny reconstruction of Ericales [PDF]

Cladistics, 2007
AbstractThe systematic significance of wood anatomical characters within Ericales is evaluated using separate and combined parsimony analyses including 23 wood characters and 3945 informative molecular characters. Analyses of wood features alone result in poorly resolved and conflicting topologies.

Longevity in plants impacts phylogenetic and population dynamics. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Phylogenies of long‐lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene‐tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We examine this with simulations and through empirical examination of several large seed plant clades.

Comparative analyses of three complete Primula mitogenomes with insights into mitogenome size variation in Ericales [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Although knowledge of the sizes, contents, and forms of plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) is increasing, little is known about the mechanisms underlying their structural diversity. Evolutionary information on the mitogenomes of Primula,
