Deciphering the origins of apomictic polyploids in the Cheilanthes yavapensis complex (Pteridaceae).
(American journal of botany, 2009-09)Deciphering species relationships and hybrid origins in polyploid agamic species complexes is notoriously difficult. In this study of cheilanthoid ferns, we demonstrate increased resolving power for clarifying the origins ... -
Development of microsatellite markers for the apomictic triploid fern Myriopteris lindheimeri (Pteridaceae).
(Applications in plant sciences, 2015-11-10)PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite markers were developed for investigating the population dynamics of Myriopteris lindheimeri (Pteridaceae), an apomictic triploid fern endemic to deserts of the southwestern United States ... -
Patterns of diversification in the xeric-adapted fern genus myriopteris (Pteridaceae)
(Systematic Botany, 2014-01-01)Strong selective pressures imposed by drought-prone habitats have contributed to extensive morphological convergence among the 400 + species of cheilanthoid ferns (Pteridaceae). As a result, generic circumscriptions based ... -
The evolution of chloroplast genes and genomes in ferns.
(Plant molecular biology, 2011-07)Most of the publicly available data on chloroplast (plastid) genes and genomes come from seed plants, with relatively little information from their sister group, the ferns. Here we describe several broad evolutionary patterns ... -
The utility of nuclear gapCp in resolving polyploid fern origins
(Systematic Botany, 2008-10-01)Although polyploidy is rampant in ferns and plays a major role in shaping their diversity, the evolutionary history of many polyploid species remains poorly understood. Nuclear DNA sequences can provide valuable information ... -
Toward a monophyletic Notholaena (Pteridaceae): Resolving patterns of evolutionary convergence in xeric-adapted ferns
(Taxon, 2008-01-01)Cheilanthoid ferns (Pteridaceae) are a diverse and ecologically important clade, unusual among ferns for their ability to colonize and diversify within xeric habitats. These extreme habitats are thought to drive the extensive ... -
Using Plastid and Nuclear DNA Sequences to Redraw Generic Boundaries and Demystif Species Complexes in Cheilanthoid Ferns.
