Comparative inflorescence development in selected Andean Santalales [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican 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.

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

A revised classification of Santalales

Taxon, 2010
AbstractWe present here a revised classification of Santalales, an angiosperm order that contains 18 families, 160 genera, and over 2200 species. Both nonparasitic and parasitic flowering plants occur in the traditionally circumscribed family Olacaceae whereas all other families are composed entirely of parasites.

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

open access: yesAmerican 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.

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. For example, Olacaceae contain parasites and nonparasites, climbing lianas and trees, and members with dichlamydous and monochlamydous perianths.

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,

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

Taxon, 2015
AbstractTo 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 genes (SSU and LSU rDNA andRPB2) and one mitochondrial gene (matR) from 197 ...

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 ...

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

open access: yesInternational 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.
