Horsetails and ferns are a monophyletic group and the closest living relatives to seed plants.
(Nature, 2001-02)Most of the 470-million-year history of plants on land belongs to bryophytes, pteridophytes and gymnosperms, which eventually yielded to the ecological dominance by angiosperms 90 Myr ago. Our knowledge of angiosperm phylogeny, ... -
Incongruence between primary sequence data and the distribution of a mitochondrial atp1 group II intron among ferns and horsetails.
(Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2005-09)Using DNA sequence data from multiple genes (often from more than one genome compartment) to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships has become routine. Augmenting this approach with genomic structural characters (e.g., intron ... -
Phylogenetic relationships and evolution of extant horsetails, Equisetum, based on chloroplast DNA sequence data (rbcL and trnL-F)
(International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2003-01-01)Equisetum is a small and morphologically distinct genus with a rich fossil record. Two subgenera have been recognized based principally on stomatal position and stem branching: subg. Equisetum (eight species; superficial ... -
The evolutionary history of ferns inferred from 25 low-copy nuclear genes.
(Am J Bot, 2015-07)UNLABELLED: • PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Understanding fern (monilophyte) phylogeny and its evolutionary timescale is critical for broad investigations of the evolution of land plants, and for providing the point of comparison ...
