Uses of molecular markers in the phylogenetic studies of various organisms have become
increasingly important in recent times. This review gives an overview of different molecular …

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences have been aligned and compared in a number of living
organisms, and this approach has provided a wealth of information about phylogenetic …

The evolutionary emergence of land plant body plans transformed the planet. However, our
understanding of this formative episode is mired in the uncertainty associated with the …

The fungi comprise both members of the kingdom Fungi as we now recognize it
(Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Zygomycota, and Chytridiomycota) and fungal-like protists …

The field of plant molecular systematics is expanding rapidly, and with it new and refined
methods are coming into use. This paper reviews recent advances in experimental methods …

Molecular data have had a profound impact on the field of plant systematics, and the
application of DNA-sequence data to phylogenetic problems is now routine. The majority of …

A diverse array of molecular approaches is now available to the plant systematist for use in
phylogenetic inference, including restriction site analysis, comparative sequencing, analysis …

Leaf spacing and aboveground growth were monitored in saplings of ten species in a range
of light environments in a Panamanian lowland humid forest. One‐to 2‐m‐tall individuals of …

Abstract 5S RNA genes and their nontranscribed spacers are tandemly repeated in plant
genomes at one or more chromosomal loci. To facilitate an understanding of the forces that …

Phylogenies based on molecular sequence data and on morphology are surveyed and
compared within animals (concentrating on vertebrates, mammals, and hominids in …
