Potential phylogenetic utility of the low-copy nuclear gene pistillata in dicotyledonous plants: comparison to nrDNA ITS and trnL intron in Sphaerocardamum and other Brassicaceae.

Abstract excerpt

We report the potential phylogenetic utility of DNA sequence data from the last 700 bp of a ca. 1-kb intron of the MADS-box gene pistillata from a sampling of Sphaerocardamum species and other Brassicaceae. These results are compared with nrDNA ITS and the chloroplast trnL intron for the same taxa to demonstrate the potential phylogenetic utility of this pistillata intron and to identify potential historically...
