Solanum phylogeny inferred from chloroplast DNA sequence data

Journal ArticleA data set derived from gene sequences of ndhF is used to deduce phylogenetic relationships among the subgenera of Solanum, among related genera of the tribe Solaneae, and within selected Solanum clades. Complete ndhF sequences were obtained for 12 species o f Solanum, representing five of the seven subgenera. ndhF sequences also were obtained from species of Capsicum, Cyphomandra, Datura, jaltomata, Lycopersicon, Nicotiana, and Physalis. Results of a parsimony analysis of these data indicate that the Solanum species form a monophyletic clade with Capsicum rather weakly supported as the sister group

Phylogenetic relationships in Solanum (Solanaceae) based on ndhF sequences

Journal ArticleA phylogenetic analysis was conducted using sequence data from the chloroplast gene ndhF. Sequences were obtained from 25 species of Solanaceae, including 18 species of Solanum representing five of the seven conventionally recognized subgenera

Phylogeny and provisional classification of the Solanaceae based on chloroplast DNA

Journal ArticleA phylogenetic analysis of the Solanaceae based on chloroplast DNA variation is presented. Restriction site maps were determined for 79 species (52 genera) for 11 restriction enzymes

Molecular phylogeny of the Solanaceae

Journal ArticleA phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and trnLF. With 89 genera and 190 species included, this represents a nearly comprehensive genus-level sampling and provides a framework phylogeny for the entire family that helps integrate many previously-published phylogenetic studies within Solanaceae. The four genera comprising the family Goetzeaceae and the monotypic families Duckeodendraceae, Nolanaceae, and Sclerophylaceae, often recognized in traditional classifications, are shown to be included in Solanaceae
