Plant Molecular Systematics

Inferences of Phylogeny and Evolutionary Processes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Evolutionary Biology ((EBIO,volume 28))

Abstract

Plant systematics has been revolutionized during the past decade by the application of molecular techniques to questions of evolutionary patterns and processes. Analysis of variation in the chloroplast genome in particular and, to a lesser extent, in segments of the nuclear genome has vastly improved our understanding of plant phylogeny at all taxonomic levels. The phylogenetic patterns have, in turn, led to inferences of evolutionary processes and spurred hypotheses of adaptive radiation and character evolution. Consequently, systematics has emerged as a vigorous branch of evolutionary biology, providing the requisite historical perspective for comparative biology and the phylogenetic framework for developing hypotheses of evolutionary processes.
