White 1Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, The University Herbarium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1048, U.S.A. [email protected] (author for correspondence). Three mitochondrial (atp1, matR, nad5), four chloroplast (atpB, matK, rbcL, rpoC2), and one nuclear (18S) genes from 162 seed plants, representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and angiosperms, were analyzed together in a supermatrix or in various partitions using likelihood and parsimony methods. The results show that Amborella + Nymphaeales together constitute the first diverging lineage of angiosperms, and that the topology of Amborella alone being sister to all other angiosperms likely represents a local long branch attrac- tion artifact. The monophyly of magnoliids, as well as sister relationships between Magnoliales and Laurales, and between Canellales and Piperales, are all strongly supported. The sister relationship to eudicots of Ceratophyllum is not strongly supported by this study; instead a placement of the genus with Chloranthaceae receives moderate support in the mitochondrial gene analyses. Relationships among magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots remain unresolved. Direct comparisons of analytic results from several data partitions with or without RNA editing sites show that in multigene analyses, RNA editing has no effect on well supported rela- tionships, but minor effect on weakly supported ones. Finally, comparisons of results from separate analyses of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes demonstrate that mitochondrial genes, with overall slower rates of sub- stitution than chloroplast genes, are informative phylogenetic markers, and are particularly suitable for resolv- ing deep relationships.

Beaulieu25 Early flowering plants are thought to have been woody species to greater heights: as path lengths increase so too does resistance5. restricted to warm habitats1–3. This lineage has since radiated into Among extant strategies, the most efficient method of water delivery almost every climate, with manifold growth forms4. As angiosperms is through large-diameter water-conducting conduits (that is, vessels spread and climate changed, they evolved mechanisms to cope with and tracheids) within xylem5. episodic freezing. To explore the evolution of traits underpinning Early in angiosperm evolution they probably evolved larger conduits the ability to persist in freezing conditions, we assembled a large for water transport, especially compared with their gymnosperm cousins14. species-level database of growth habit (woody or herbaceous; 49,064 Although efficient in delivering water, these larger cells would have species), as well as leaf phenology (evergreen or deciduous), diameter impeded angiosperm colonization of regions characterized by episodic of hydraulic conduits (that is, xylem vessels and tracheids) and climate freezing14,15, as the propensity for freezing-induced embolisms (air bub- occupancies (exposure to freezing).
