Phylogenetic tree based on maximum parsimony of 69 accessions belonging to the Asteraceae family.

Abstract

<p>Seven coding regions were used: <i>matk</i>, <i>ndhD</i>, <i>ndhF</i>, <i>ndhI</i>, <i>rbcL</i>, <i>rpoB</i> and the first exon of <i>rpoC1</i>, for a total of 1,811 parsimony-informative characters. Sequences from <i>C</i>. <i>cardunculus</i> were obtained from this work. Bootstrap values for each node were set greater than 50%. Species for which the complete cp genome is available are shaded.</p
