To estimate the evolutionary history of mustard family (Brassicaceae or Cruciferae), we sampled 113 species, representing 101 roughly 350 genera and 17 19 tribes family, for chloroplast gene ndhF. The included accessions increase number over previous phylogenetic studies by four-fold. Using parsimony, likelihood, Bayesian methods, reconstructed phylogeny used Shimodaira-Hasegawa test (S-H test) to compare results with most recent tribal classification family. resultant allowed a critical...
Abstract As currently delimited, the Brassicaceae comprise 49 tribes, 321 genera, and 3660 species. Of these, 20 genera 34 species remain to be assigned tribes. These figures differ substantially from those estimated five years ago, in which 25 338 3709 were recognized. 37 are treated herein as synonyms, 21 (10 reestablished 11 new) have since been added. The Notothlaspi, Peltariopsis, Sinapidendron, Xerodraba lectotypified. following taxa reduced for first time synonymy of what follows...
The Brassicaceae is a large plant family (338 genera and 3,700 species) of major scientific economic importance. taxonomy this group has been plagued by convergent evolution in nearly every morphological feature used to define tribes genera. Phylogenetic analysis 746 nrDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, representing 24 the 25 currently recognized tribes, 146 genera, 461 species Brassicaceae, produced most comprehensive, single-locus–based phylogenetic published date. Novel...
Brassicaceae is an important family at both the agronomic and scientific level. The not only includes several model species, but it also becoming evolutionary However, resolving phylogenetic relationships within has been problematic, a large-scale molecular phylogeny in terms of generic sampling number genes still lacking. In particular, deeper family, for example between three major recognized lineages, prove particularly hard to resolve. Using slow-evolving mitochondrial marker (nad4...
Brassicaceae is one of the most diverse and economically valuable angiosperm families with widely cultivated vegetable crops scientifically important model plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana. The evolutionary history, ecological, morphological, genetic diversity, abundant resources knowledge make it an excellent family for studies. Recent phylogenetic analyses revealed three major lineages (I, II, III), but relationships among within these remain largely unclear. Here, we present a highly...
The mustard family (Brassicaceae) is a scientifically and economically important family, containing the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana numerous crop species that feed billions worldwide. Despite its relevance, most phylogenetic trees of are incompletely sampled often contain poorly supported branches. Here, we present complete Brassicaceae genus-level phylogenies to date (Brassicaceae Tree Life or BrassiToL) based on nuclear (1,081 genes, 319 349 genera; 57 58 tribes) plastome (60 265 all...
Direct sequencing of nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequences (ITS) from Arabidop- sis suecica showed that at least two ITS types were present in individuals this allopolypoid species. Cloning PCR-amplified and subsequent confirms A. contains distinct sequences, one thaliana the other either Cardaminopsis arenosa or C. neglecta. Based on these data ecology, are putative parents suecica. These results support those studies employing cpDNA restriction sites, cytology, isoelectric...
The family Brassicaceae comprises 3710 species in 338 genera, 25 recently delimited tribes, and three major lineages based on phylogenetic results from the chloroplast gene ndhF. To assess credibility of newly we sequenced an approximately 1.8-kb region nuclear phytochrome A (PHYA) for taxa previously sampled Using parsimony, likelihood, Bayesian methods, reconstructed phylogeny used unbiased (AU) test to compare PHYA with findings We also combined ndhF data a mixed model approach infer...
The family Brassicaceae encompasses diverse species, many of which have high scientific and economic importance. Early diversifications phylogenetic relationships between major lineages or clades remain unclear. Here we re-investigate phylogeny with complete plastomes from 51 species representing all four 5 6 (A, B, C, E F) as identified in earlier studies. Bayesian maximum likelihood analyses using a partitioned supermatrix 77 protein coding genes resulted nearly identical tree topologies...
The Brassicaceae family (mustards or crucifers) includes Arabidopsis thaliana as one of the most important model species in plant biology and a number crop plants such various Brassica (e.g. cabbage, canola mustard). Moreover, comprises an increasing that serve study systems many fields science evolutionary research. However, systematics taxonomy are very complex access to scientifically valuable reliable information linked genus names its interpretation often difficult. BrassiBase is...
The Brassicaceae family comprises c. 4000 species including economically important crops and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite their importance, relationships among major lineages in remain unresolved, hampering comparative research. Here, we inferred a phylogeny using newly generated targeted enrichment sequence data of 1827 exons (> 940 000 bases) representing 63 species, as well sequenced genome 16 together 50 52 currently recognized tribes. A third samples were derived from...
Crucihimalaya himalaica, a close relative of Arabidopsis and Capsella, grows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) about 4,000 m above sea level represents an attractive model system for studying speciation ecological adaptation in extreme environments. We assembled draft genome sequence 234.72 Mb encoding 27,019 genes investigated its origin adaptive evolutionary mechanisms. Phylogenomic analyses based 4,586 single-copy revealed that C. himalaica is most closely related to Capsella (estimated...
Based on recent achievements in phylogenetic studies of the Brassicaceae, a novel infrafamilial classification is proposed that includes major improvements at subfamilial and supertribal levels. Herein, family subdivided into two subfamilies, Aethionemoideae (subfam. nov.) Brassicoideae. The Brassicoideae, with 57 58 tribes are further partitioned five supertribes, including previously recognized Brassicodae newly established Arabodae, Camelinodae, Heliophilodae, Hesperodae. Additional...

Gametophytic apomixis is a common form of asexual reproduction in plants. Virtually all gametophytic apomicts are polyploids, and some view polyploidy as prerequisite for the transition to apomixis. However, any causal link between complicated by fact that most apomictic polyploids allopolyploids, leading speculate hybridization, rather than polyploidy, enables Diploid presents rare opportunity isolate role number diploid have been documented genus Boechera (Brassicaceae).
