We present a new worldwide phylogenetic classification of 11 506 grass species in 768
genera, 12 subfamilies, seven supertribes, 52 tribes, five supersubtribes, and 90 subtribes; …

Grasses are widespread on every continent and are found in all terrestrial biomes. The
dominance and spread of grasses and grassland ecosystems have led to significant …

Poaceae (the grasses) includes rice, maize, wheat, and other crops, and is the most
economically important angiosperm family. Poaceae is also one of the largest plant families …

Bamboos (subfamily Bambusoideae) comprise one of 12 subfamilies within the grass family
(Poaceae) and represent the only major grass lineage to diversify in forests. Bamboos are …

Abstract Background Bambusoideae (Poaceae) comprise three distinct and well-supported
lineages: tropical woody bamboos (Bambuseae), temperate woody bamboos …

Bamboo, a gramineous plant belonging to the family Poaceae, comprises of 1575 species
from 116 genera across the globe. It has the ability to grow and evolve on degraded land …

In this paper we investigate the biogeography of the temperate woody bamboos
(Arundinarieae) using a densely-sampled phylogenetic tree of Bambusoideae based on six …

The grass tribe Triticeae (= Hordeeae) comprises only about 300 species, but it is well
known for the economically important crop plants wheat, barley, and rye. The group is also …

Abstract The Bambusa-Dendrocalamus-Gigantochloa complex (BDG complex) is the most
diversified and phylogenetically recalcitrant group of the paleotropical woody bamboos …

Paleotropical woody bamboos (PWB) are phylogenetically and taxonomically intractable.
Because previous studies included deficient samples or lacked informative characters for …
