Perianth evolution in the sandalwood order Santalales†

American Journal of Botany, 2009
Flowers of Santalales remain largely unexplored with several questions of homology unanswered despite the large size of the order. Morphological and ontogenetic floral studies have the potential to identify new informative characters. We studied floral development in species of Loranthaceae, Santalaceae, Opiliaceae, and “Olacaceae” with scanning ...

Comparative Plastome Analysis of Root- and Stem-Feeding Parasites of Santalales Untangle the Footprints of Feeding Mode and Lifestyle Transitions

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2020
In plants, parasitism triggers the reductive evolution of plastid genomes (plastomes). To disentangle the molecular evolutionary associations between feeding on other plants below- or aboveground and general transitions from facultative to obligate ...

Molecular Phylogenetic Relationships of Olacaceae and Related Santalales

Systematic Botany, 2008
As traditionally circumscribed, the family Olacaceae contains a morphologically diverse assemblage of genera that has historically caused much confusion regarding their classification.

Comparative inflorescence development in selected Andean Santalales [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 2017
PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Loranthaceae, Santalaceae, and Viscaceae are the most diversified hemiparasitic families of Santalales in the Andes. Their partial inflorescences (PIs) vary from solitary flowers, or dichasia in most Santalales, to congested floral groups along articles in most Viscaceae.

A Molecular Phylogeny of Santalaceae (Santalales)

Systematic Botany, 2008
Santalaceae sensu stricto, the type family for the sandalwood order (Santalales), include approximately 40 genera and over 550 species distributed worldwide. Because the family possesses plesiomorphic and generalized traits that occur throughout the order, this diverse assemblage of hemiparasitic plants has been difficult to characterize and ...

Phylogenetic relationships of Santalales with insights into the origins of holoparasitic Balanophoraceae

Taxon, 2015
Abstract To date molecular data have not revealed the exact phylogenetic position of Balanophoraceae in relation to hemiparasitic Santalales. To elucidate the phylogeny of Santalales and the position of Balanophoraceae, three plastid genes ( matK, rbcL, accD ), three nuclear

Phylogenetic relationships of the Santalales and relatives

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1990
Determining relationships among parasitic angiosperms has often been difficult owing to frequent morphological reductions in floral and vegetative features. We report 18S (small-subunit) rRNA sequences for representative genera of three families within the Santalales (Olacaceae, Santalaceae, and Viscaceae) and six outgroup dicot families (Celastraceae,

Inflorescence evolution in Santalales: integrating morphological characters and molecular phylogenetics [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 2019
Premise of the StudyThe sandalwood order (Santalales) includes members that present a diverse array of inflorescence types, some of which are unique among angiosperms. This diversity presents not only interpretational challenges but also opportunities to test fundamental concepts in plant morphology.

The first mistletoes: Origins of aerial parasitism in Santalales

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2008
Past molecular phylogenetic work has shown that aerial parasites have evolved five times independently in the sandalwood order (Santalales), but the absolute timing of these diversifications was not addressed. DNA sequences from nuclear SSU and LSU rDNA, and chloroplast rbcL, matK and trnL-F from 39 santalalean taxa were obtained. Separate and combined

Gene Losses and Variations in Chloroplast Genome of Parasitic Plant Macrosolen and Phylogenetic Relationships within Santalales [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Macrosolen plants are parasitic shrubs, several of which are important medicinal plants, that are used as folk medicine in some provinces of China. However, reports on Macrosolen are limited. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Macrosolen cochinchinensis, Macrosolen tricolor and Macrosolen bibracteolatus are reported.
