Abstract
The use of chloroplast DNA comparisons to determine phylogenetic relationships in the angiosperms has become an active area of research. There are three basic types of chloroplast DNA data that have been used for phylogenetic reconstruction: (1) comparison of restriction endonuclease sites (Jansen and Palmer 1988); (2) major genome structural changes (Downie et al. 1991; Downie and Palmer 1992); and (3) comparative gene sequences (Clegg and Zurawski 1992). The first category is covered in Chapter 8. The goal of this chapter is to discuss the use of rbcL sequences to test phylogenetic hypotheses in the Caryophyllales.
