De Duindoornfamilie bladere nerven (Elaeagnaceae) is naar de Rosales verhuisd, en er zijn twee verrassende nieuwkomers bij de duideli enige overgebleven familie, de Proteaceae, ingetrokken: de Nelumbonaceae en de kroonb Plataanfamilie (Platanaceae). De één is een familie van waterplanten, de ander van bomen. afgepla Deze orde wordt ondersteund door moleculaire kenmerken, en door het feit dat ze min of meer 2-tallige bloemen hebben. Trochodendrales: Deze orde omvat 1 of 2 families met elk Sabiaceae 1 soort: Trochodendraceae (met Trochodendron aralioides), Nelumbonaceae en wellicht ook Tetracentraceae (met Tetracentron sinense), Proteaceae allebei bomen uit Oost-Azië. Mochten beide soorten in Platanaceae 1 familie worden geplaatst, dan komen ze samen in de I Trochodendraceae Trochodendraceae. Nelu Deze fa Buxaceae Beide h Buxales: De enige familie in deze orde, de Palmboompjes- boven familie of Buxaceae, werd vroeger met de Wolfsmelkfamilie (Euphorbiaceae) en enkele andere families in 1 orde geplaatst. Dat gebeurde op grond van kenmerken van de bloemen en vruchten. De Wolfsmelkfamilie zit nu in de Malpighiales, dus in de Rosiden. De Buxales zijn op grond van moleculaire kenmerken bij de Trochodendrales geplaatst. The orders treated here are called ‘primitive dicots’, together with the Ranunculales. They do not form a natural group, but represent a series of early stages in the development of dicots. Sabiales: The order Sabiales contains only one family, which used to be placed in the order Ranunculales. Its position in the dicots is not yet quite clear. Different gene analyses lead to different interpretations, Gele but all place Sabiales near the other orders treated here: Proteales, Trochodendrales and Buxales. Proteales: This order has a completely new composition. The Elaeagnaceae have been moved to the Rosales, and two surprising newcomers have been added to join the only remaining family of Proteaceae: Nelumbonaceae and Platanaceae. One is a family of water plants, the other of trees. This order is reasonably well supported by molecular characters, and by the fact that they have more or less dimerous flowers. Trochodendrales: This order contains one or two families, each with only one species: Trochodendraceae (with Trochodendron aralioides), and probably also Tetracentraceae (with Tetracentron sinense), both trees from East Asia. Should both species be placed in one family, then they will together belong in Trochodendraceae. Buxales: The only family in this order, the Buxaceae, used to be placed in one order with Euphorbiaceae and a few other families. The old position of Buxaceae was based on flower and fruit characters. Euphorbiaceae are now placed in the order Malpighiales, and thus belong in the Rosids. Because of similarities in molecular characters the Buxales are now placed next to the Trochodendrales. drales | Buxales Gr tak I Proteaceae Een familie met 77 geslachten waarin meer dan 1500 soorten van houtige planten, die allemaal op het I Sabiaceae Zuidelijk Halfrond voorkomen, de me Deze kleine familie van Zuid-Afrika en Australië. 3 geslachten en ongeveer Ze hebben meestal leerachtige 100 soorten bestaat uit bladeren, die soms zijn getand. altijdgroene bomen en lianen De bloemen zijn 4-tallig en staan vaa uit de Zuidoost-Aziatische en in opvallende bloeiwijzen gerangschik Amerikaanse tropen.

  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order
    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

  • 2 ANGIOSPERM PHYLOGENY GROUP (APG) SYSTEM History Of
    ANGIOSPERM PHYLOGENY GROUP (APG) SYSTEM The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to an informal international group of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus view of the taxonomy of flowering plants (angiosperms) that would reflect new knowledge about their relationships based upon phylogenetic studies. As of 2010, three incremental versions of a classification system have resulted from this collaboration (published in 1998, 2003 and 2009). An important motivation for the group was what they viewed as deficiencies in prior angiosperm classifications, which were not based on monophyletic groups (i.e. groups consisting of all the descendants of a common ancestor). APG publications are increasingly influential, with a number of major herbaria changing the arrangement of their collections to match the latest APG system. Angiosperm classification and the APG Until detailed genetic evidence became available, the classification of flowering plants (also known as angiosperms, Angiospermae, Anthophyta or Magnoliophyta) was based on their morphology (particularly that of the flower) and their biochemistry (what kinds of chemical compound they contained or produced). Classification systems were typically produced by an individual botanist or by a small group. The result was a large number of such systems (see List of systems of plant taxonomy). Different systems and their updates tended to be favoured in different countries; e.g. the Engler system in continental Europe; the Bentham & Hooker system in Britain (particularly influential because it was used by Kew); the Takhtajan system in the former Soviet Union and countries within its sphere of influence; and the Cronquist system in the United States.

HUDSON 3Zhi-Duan CHEN 1(Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA) 2(School of Life Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210093, China) 3(Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, China) Abstract An angiosperm phylogeny was reconstructed in a maximum likelihood analysis of sequences of four mitochondrial genes, atp1, matR, nad5, and rps3, from 380 species that represent 376 genera and 296 families of seed plants. It is largely congruent with the phylogeny of angiosperms reconstructed from chloroplast genes atpB, matK, and rbcL, and nuclear 18S rDNA. The basalmost lineage consists of Amborella and Nymphaeales (including Hydatellaceae). Austrobaileyales follow this clade and are sister to the mesangiosperms, which include Chloranthaceae, Ceratophyllum, magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots. With the exception of Chloranthaceae being sister to Ceratophyllum, relationships among these five lineages are not well supported. In eudicots, Ranunculales, Sabiales, Proteales, Trochodendrales, Buxales, Gunnerales, Saxifragales, Vitales, Berberidopsidales, and Dilleniales form a basal grade of lines that diverged before the diversification of rosids and asterids. Within rosids, the COM (Celastrales–Oxalidales–Malpighiales) clade is sister to malvids (or rosid II), instead of to the nitrogen-fixing clade as found in all previous large-scale molecular analyses of angiosperms. Santalales and Caryophyllales are members of an expanded asterid clade.

It comprises twelve orders and thirty-eight families formed of species with varied habits widely distributed in temperate regions. The chemistry of Rosiflorae species is highly diversified; nevertheless it shows clearly phylogenetic affinity among the orders, except for Buxales. Flavonoids and triterpenoids are the real taxonomic markers for the superorder, due not only to the great number of occurrences, but also to the high structural diversity. On the other hand, the alkaloids are suitable as chemi- cal markers only for the order Buxales. For orders and families of Rosiflorae, analysis of correlations among chemical parameters based on flavonoids and triterpenoids, with themselves and with the morphological and chemo-morpho- logical parameters, showed evolutionary gradients among these taxa in which Trochodendrales occupy a primitive position while Saxifragales have the outpost. According to the types of flavonoids found in the superorder, there is clearly a higher incidence of flavonols than flavones, suggesting a primitive status of the Rosiflorae. Evolutionary advancement parameters relative to flavonoid hydroxyl protection show preferential protection mechanisms of glyco- sylation against methylation as well as a high percentage of free hydroxyl groups.
