Phylogenetic relationships in Nicotiana (Solanaceae) inferred from multiple plastid DNA regionsJames J Clarkson
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Mol Phylogenet Evol 33:75-90. 2004..Nicotiana is likely to have evolved in southern South America east of the Andes and later dispersed to Africa, Australia, and southwestern North America...
Long-term genome diploidization in allopolyploid Nicotiana section Repandae (Solanaceae)James J Clarkson
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gasrdens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3DS, UK
New Phytol 168:241-52. 2005..In Nicotiana, 4.5 Myr of allopolyploid evolution renders genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) unsuitable for the complete resolution of parental genomes...
Nuclear glutamine synthetase evolution in Nicotiana: phylogenetics and the origins of allotetraploid and homoploid (diploid) hybridsJames J Clarkson
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Mol Phylogenet Evol 55:99-112. 2010..We have evidence for Nicotiana glutinosa and Nicotiana linearis being of hybrid origin and patterns of intra-allelic recombination also indicate the possibility of reticulate origins for other diploid species...
Intragenic recombination events and evidence for hybrid speciation in Nicotiana (Solanaceae)Laura J Kelly
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey, United Kingdom
Mol Biol Evol 27:781-99. 2010..This finding demonstrates that it is important to investigate the possibility of recombination when aiming to detect hybrids from DNA-sequence data and reconstruct patterns of reticulate evolution between species...
Phylogenetic relationships among arecoid palms (Arecaceae: Arecoideae)William J Baker
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB, UK
Ann Bot 108:1417-32. 2011..Here the most densely sampled phylogenetic analysis of Arecoideae available to date is presented. The results are used to test the current classification of the subfamily and to identify priority areas for future research...
Molecular systematics, GISH and the origin of hybrid taxa in Nicotiana (Solanaceae)Mark W Chase
Molecular Systematics Section, Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Ann Bot (Lond) 92:107-27. 2003....
Sympatric speciation in palms on an oceanic islandVincent Savolainen
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Nature 441:210-3. 2006..This case study of sympatric speciation in plants provides an opportunity for refining theoretical models on the origin of species, and new impetus for exploring putative plant and animal examples on oceanic islands...
Reconstructing the complex evolutionary origin of wild allopolyploid tobaccos (Nicotiana section suaveolentes)Laura J Kelly
School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, E1 4NS, London, United Kingdom Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, United Kingdom E mail Department of Botany, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD, United Kingdom
Evolution 67:80-94. 2013..Nicotiana exemplifies many of the factors that can complicate the reconstruction of polyploid evolutionary history and highlights how reticulate evolution at the diploid level can add even greater complexity to allopolyploid genomes...
Evolution of rDNA in Nicotiana allopolyploids: a potential link between rDNA homogenization and epigeneticsAles Kovarik
Institute of Biophysics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, CZ 61265 Brno, Czech Republic
Ann Bot 101:815-23. 2008..We review patterns of evolution in rDNA in the angiosperm genus Nicotiana to determine consequences of allopolyploidy on these processes...
Comparative genomics and repetitive sequence divergence in the species of diploid Nicotiana section AlataeK Yoong Lim
School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, London E1 4NS, UK
Plant J 48:907-19. 2006..This rapid rate of divergence is analogous to that found in polyploid species, and is therefore, in plants, not only associated with polyploidy...
Sequence of events leading to near-complete genome turnover in allopolyploid Nicotiana within five million yearsK Yoong Lim
School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, London E1 4NS, UK
New Phytol 175:756-63. 2007..This mode of evolution may influence or be influenced by long-term diploidization processes that characterize angiosperm polyploidy-diploid evolutionary cycles...
