Agradecimentos Agradeço à Fundação de Amparo à Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (FACEPE), pela concessão de quatro anos de bolsa, sem a qual seria impossível desenvolver este trabalho. À Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), pela concessão da bolsa de doutorado sanduíche e ao International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT), pelo auxílio financeiro que possibilitou minhas análises moleculares.

Ao orientador, Marccus Alves. Quatro anos são suficientes para amá-lo e odiá- lo algumas vezes. Mas, concluo essa tese certa de que fiz a melhor escolha possível: voltei para o Recife em 2009 para ser orientada por um dos profissionais que mais admiro. Admiro desde o dia em que perguntei por que ele orientava projetos tão diferentes e tão distantes de sua especialidade, e ele me respondeu que não era apenas especialista em Cyperaceae, mas sim botânico. Discordamos em vários pontos, mas a partir de hoje, levo muito dele para a minha vida profissional. Meu mais sincero agradecimento, pelo incentivo, pelo estresse e principalmente por me cobrar qualidade. To Dr. George Staples III, a huge thanks. For your confidence and encouragement to my work. For all the long emails we exchanged. For your patience and efforts to answer my million questions. For me, it was an honor to receive your help during these four years. Aos meus colaboradores Msc.

Third Street, Bloomington, Indiana, 47405 ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Paul S. Manos ABSTRACT. Because recent molecular studies, based on multiple data sets from all three plant genomes, have indicated mutually congruent, well-resolved, and well-supported relationships within Convolvulaceae (the morning-glory family), a formal reclassi®cation of this family is presented here. Convolvulaceae, a large family of worldwide distribution, exhibiting a rich diversity of morphological characteristics and ecological habitats, are now circumscribed within twelve tribes. A key to these tribes of Convolvulaceae is offered. The group of spiny-pollen bearing Convolvulaceae (forming ``Echinoconiae'') and tribe Cuscuteae are retained essentially in their traditional sense, Cresseae are circumscribed with only minor modi®- cations, Convolvuleae and Erycibeae are recognized in a restricted sense, while Dichondreae and Maripeae are expanded. Also, to produce a tribal taxonomy that better re¯ects phylogenetic relationships, the concept of Poraneae is abandoned as arti®cial, three new tribes are recognized (Aniseieae, Cardiochlamyeae, and Jacquemontieae), and a new tribal status is proposed for the Malagasy endemic Humbertia (Humbertieae). ``Merremieae'' are tentatively retained even though the mono- phyly of this tribe is not certain.

A phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and trnLF. With 89 genera and 190 species included, this represents a nearly comprehensive genus-level sampling and provides a framework phylogeny for the entire family that helps integrate many previously-published phylogenetic studies within So- lanaceae. The four genera comprising the family Goetzeaceae and the monotypic families Duckeodendraceae, Nolanaceae, and Sclerophylaceae, often recognized in traditional classifications, are shown to be included in Solanaceae. The current results corroborate previous studies that identify a monophyletic subfamily Solanoideae and the more inclusive “x = 12” clade, which includes Nicotiana and the Australian tribe Anthocercideae. These results also provide greater resolution among lineages within Solanoideae, confirming Jaltomata as sister to Solanum and identifying a clade comprised primarily of tribes Capsiceae (Capsicum and Lycianthes) and Physaleae.
