Phylogenetic relationships in Apocynaceae based on nuclear PHYA and plastid trnL-F sequences, with a focus on tribal relationships

open access: yesCaryologia, 2019
To date, most molecular phylogenetic studies of Apocynaceae have been based on plastid DNA regions or nuclear ribosomal DNA. In this study, we used part of the PHYA (phytochrome A) exon, a low-copy nuclear gene, and combined it with the trnL-F region ...

Evolution on the backbone: Apocynaceae phylogenomics and new perspectives on growth forms, flowers, and fruits

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 105, Issue 3, Page 495-513, March 2018., 2018
Premise of the Study We provide the largest phylogenetic analyses to date of Apocynaceae in terms of taxa and molecular data as a framework for analyzing the evolution of vegetative and reproductive traits. Methods We produced maximum‐likelihood phylogenies of Apocynaceae using 21 plastid loci sampled from 1045 species (nearly 25% of the family) and ...

Tropical Refuges with Exceptionally High Phylogenetic Diversity Reveal Contrasting Phylogenetic Structures

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biodiversity, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Loss of phylogenetic diversity (PD) has gained increasing attention in conservation biology. However, PD is not equally distributed in a phylogeny and can be better assessed when species relatedness (phylogenetic structure: PS) is also considered. Here, we investigate PD and PS in two refuges of biodiversity in northeastern Brazil: the Bahia Costal ...

A revised classification of the Apocynaceae s.l. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The Asclepiadaceae, as traditionally defined, have repeatedly been shown to be an apomorphic derivative of the Apocynaceae. It has often been recommended that the Asclepiadaceae be subsumed within the Apocynaceae in order to make the latter monophyletic.

Development and Validation of a Method for the Quantification of an Alkaloid Fraction of Himatanthus lancifolius (Muell. Arg.) Woodson by Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
For the registration of phytomedicines and their availability to the population, National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA) establishes quality, security, and efficacy parameters, stipulating control requirements similar to those applied to synthetic medicines.

Wood anatomy of Rauvolfioideae (Apocynaceae): a search for meaningful non‐DNA characters at the tribal level [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 2008
Wood anatomical studies in the economically important Apocynaceae or dogbane family are fragmentary. This study represents a first attempt to unravel the phylogenetic significance and major evolutionary trends in the wood of the family, using existing and new microscopic wood observations within the large subfamily Rauvolfioideae.

Histórias evolutivas de Apocynaceae ameaçadas na Mata Atlântica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Diante da atual crise da biodiversidade e visto que os recursos para sua conservação são limitados, estabelecer áreas prioritárias tem se mostrado um recurso-chave e, ao mesmo tempo, desafiador.

Reestablishment, new records, and a key for the species of Aspidosperma (Apocynaceae) from the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
As a result of systematic study of the Neotropical genus Aspidosperma (Apocynaceae), we reestablish the species A. centrale and A. duckei, and report A. steinbachii and A. tambopatense as new records for Brazil. We provide taxonomic descriptions of these
