Abstract excerpt
Relative rate tests, using Gnetum as a reference taxon, were conducted on nuclear 18S rRNA sequences from 10 angiosperms including autotrophic nonparasites (Arabidopsis, Asarum, Glycine, Malpighia, and Zea), a chlorophyllous hemiparasite (Arceuthobium--Viscaceae), and achlorophyllous holoparasites (Balanophora--Balanophoraceae, Prosopanche--Hydnoraceae, and Rafflesia and Rhizanthes--Rafflesiaceae). Compared with...
