Mollecular Phylogeny of tribolium (Danthoniodeae: Poaceae) and its taxonomic implications

Molecular sequence data from two noncoding regions of D A (ITS AND TRNL-F) Were used to produce a phylogeny for the genus Tribolium and its African and Australasian allies. Topological comparisons of the combined molecular data with the appended existing morphological tree were made. A significant i...

description Molecular sequence data from two noncoding regions of D A (ITS AND TRNL-F) Were used to produce a phylogeny for the genus Tribolium and its African and Australasian allies. Topological comparisons of the combined molecular data with the appended existing morphological tree were made. A significant incongruence was revealed. Molecular data indicate that Tribolium is paraphyletic. The formally defined sections: Uniolae, Acutiflorae and Tribolium have been retrieved by the molecular data. The analysis retrieved Karroochloa as polyphyletic. Monophyly of Schismus is strongly supported. The Australasian species form a monophyletic clade. Data support early divergence of the Merxmuellera species and Pseudopentameris macrantha.
