A Molecular Phylogeny of Costaceae (Zingiberales) [PDF]

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2001
The phylogenetic relationships of Costaceae, a tropical monocotyledonous family sister to the gingers (Zingiberaceae), were investigated with a combination of two chloroplast loci (the trnL-F locus, including the trnL intron, the 3'trnL exon, and the trnL-F intergenic spacer, and the trnK locus, including the trnK intron and the matK coding region) and

The leaf flavonoids of the Zingiberales

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1977
A survey of flavonoids in the leaves of 81 species of the Zingiberales showed that, while most of the major classes of flavonoid are represented in the order, only two families, the Zingiberaceae and Marantaceae are rich in these constituents. In the Musaceae (in 9 species), Strelitziaceae (in 8 species) and Cannaceae (1 of 2 species) flavonol ...

Phylogenetic Relationships and Evolution in the Strelitziaceae (Zingiberales)

Systematic Botany, 2012
Abstract Evolutionary trends and phylogenetic relationships in the Strelitziaceae (Zingiberales) were investigated using sequence data from ten plastid and two nuclear regions and a morphological dataset. The status of species of Strelitzia were evaluated in terms of the phylogenetic species concept. Relationships among the genera remain equivocal with

Phytolith variability in Zingiberales: A tool for the reconstruction of past tropical vegetation

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2013
Reconstructing paleovegetation is an important part of understanding ancient ecosystems. Phytoliths are preserved even when other fossil evidence (pollen, macrofossils) is not, and can provide evidence for the diversity and distribution of taxa or vegetation that may otherwise have a poor fossil record.

Phylogenetic and ancestral area reconstruction of Zingiberales from plastid genomes

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2016
Abstract The Zingiberales is an ancient monocot order in the angiosperms. It has undergone radiation since the Cretaceous period. However, the relationships among primary lineages (families) are difficult to resolve. Additional support for phylogenetic relationships within this order have been obtained using plastid genome data from 76 coding genes ...

Colonization by Herbivores of Heliconia spp. Plants (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae)

Biotropica, 1984
The leaf-top herbivore guild of Heliconia spp. is a particularly good subject for the examination of host colonization because individuals may be monitored easily for extended periods of time. Studies of the guild on H. imbricata in Costa Rica and on H. latispatha in Ecuador reveal substantial variation in the rates of colonization among plants.

Sieve‐Element Plastids, Nuclear Crystals and Phloem Proteins in the Zingiberales

Botanica Acta, 1994
AbstractThe sieve‐element characters of 40 species from all families making up the monocotyledon order Zingiberales have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. While phloem‐proteins are a typical component of all eight families, the Zingiberaceae are characterized by nondispersive protein bodies derived from nuclear crystals.
