The use of DNA sequence data in plant systematics has brought us closer than ever to
formulating well-founded hypotheses about phylogenetic relationships, and phylogenetic …

Phylogenetic relationships in Dipsacales have long been a major challenge. Although
considerable progress has been made during the past two decades, questions remain; the …

Using molecular data and representative species coverage, we confirmed the monophyly of
Cirsium sect. Eriolepis and, therefore, we propose to treat it as a separate genus …

Premise Phylogenetic relationships within major angiosperm clades are increasingly well
resolved, but largely informed by plastid data. Areas of poor resolution persist within the …

Aim To reconstruct the temporal and biogeographical history of Old World disjunctions in
Scabiosa (Dipsacaceae) and the timing of diversification in the Mediterranean Basin, in …

Palynology gives the evidence for identification and elimination of taxonomically complex
genera. Pollen morphology of nine species (three subg., three sect.) of the genus …

Authors report 139 new nomenclatural combinations in the sections Cynanchicae,
Thliphthisa and Hexaphylla of the genus Asperula L.(Rubiaceae). These changes were …

Abstract The genus Knautia (Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacoideae) encompasses 40–60 species
mainly distributed in western Eurasia, with highest species diversity in the Alps and the …

Phylogenetic investigations based on molecular and morphological data have improved our
understanding of Dipsacales phylogeny dramatically over the past 20 years. The Linnaea …

Background CYCLOIDEA (CYC)-like genes have been implicated in the development of
capitulum inflorescences (ie flowering heads) in Asteraceae, where many small flowers …
