The systematic position and intrageneric relationships of the economically important Pistacia
species (Anacardiaceae) are controversial. The phylogeny of Pistacia was assessed using
five data sets: sequences of nuclear ribosomal ITS, the third intron of the nuclear nitrate
reductase gene (NIA‐i3), and the plastid ndhF, trnL‐F and trnC‐trnD. Significant
discordance was detected among ITS, NIA‐i3, and the combined plastid DNA data sets. ITS,
NIA‐i3, and the combined plastid data sets were analyzed separately using Bayesian and …
