Phylogenomics and a posteriori data partitioning resolve the Cretaceous angiosperm radiation Malpighiales [PDF]
The angiosperm order Malpighiales includes ∼16,000 species and constitutes up to 40% of the understory tree diversity in tropical rain forests. Despite remarkable progress in angiosperm systematics during the last 20 y, relationships within Malpighiales remain poorly resolved, possibly owing to its rapid rise during the mid-Cretaceous.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Casearia glomerata Roxb. (Malpighiales; Salicaceae) from Fujian, China [PDF]
Casearia glomerata Roxb. is classified in Salicaceae and has a high economic value. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. glomerata using Illumina sequence data. The cp genome is 156,809 bp in length and contains a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,888 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,039 bp separated by two ...

Widespread ancient whole genome duplications in Malpighiales coincide with Eocene global climatic upheaval [PDF]
AbstractAncient whole genome duplications (WGDs) are important in eukaryotic genome evolution, and are especially prominent in plants. Recent genomic studies from large vascular plant clades, including ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms suggest that WGDs may represent a crucial mode of speciation.

Phylogenetic inference in Rafflesiales: the influence of rate heterogeneity and horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
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 ...

Comparative floral structure and systematics in Chrysobalanaceae s.l. (Chrysobalanaceae, Dichapetalaceae, Euphroniaceae, Trigoniaceae; Malpighiales) [PDF]
Chrysobalanaceae s.l., one of the few suprafamilial subclades of Malpighiales that is supported by molecular phylogenetic analyses, and containing Chrysobalanaceae, Dichapetalaceae, Euphroniaceae, and Trigoniaceae, was comparatively studied with regard to floral structure. The subclade is well supported by floral structure. Potential synapomorphies for
