phylogenetic study of the order Asterales using one morphological and three molecular data sets

We obtained two most parsimonious cladograms using a data set of 100 characters derived from morphology, anatomy, embryology, chemistry, and karyology, combined with three nucleotide sequence data sets (the chloroplast genesatpB,ndhF, andrbcL) in a phylogenetic analysis of all 12 currently recognize...

Description
Summary:We obtained two most parsimonious cladograms using a data set of 100 characters derived from morphology, anatomy, embryology, chemistry, and karyology, combined with three nucleotide sequence data sets (the chloroplast genesatpB,ndhF, andrbcL) in a phylogenetic analysis of all 12 currently recognized families in the angiosperm order Asterales, represented by 40 genera. Most clades were supported by a jackknife value of at least 50% and a Bremer support of 5 or more. Rousseaceaesensu lato(including Carpodetaceae), together with Pentaphragmataceae and Campanulaceae s.l., is the sister group to the rest of the Asterales. A sister group relationship betweenDonatiaand Stylidiaceae is well supported both morphologically and by molecular data, and we suggest thatDonatiashould again be treated as a subfamily in Stylidiaceae. The sister group relationship between Calyceraceae and Asteraceae is well supported.
