The application of molecular techniques is rapidly transforming the study of plant systematics. This book is arranged both conceptually and phylogenetically to accommodate the interests not only of general systematisists, but also those of people interested in a particular family.
Now complemented by Molecular Systematics of Plants II: DNA Sequencing.
Part 1 Molecules and genomes in plant systematics: Chloroplast DNA and the study of plant phylogeny - present status and future prospects, M T Clegg and G Zurawski; Use of chloroplast DNA rearrangements in reconstructing plant phylogeny, S R Downie and J D Palmer; Mitochondrial DNA in plant systematics - applications and limitations, J D Palmer; Ribosomal RNA as a phylogenetic tool in plant systematics, R K Hamby and E A Zimmer; Evolution of the NOR and 5S DNA loci in the Triticeae, R Appels and B Baum. Part 2 Molecular approaches to plant evolution: Intraspecific chloroplast DNA variation - systematic and phylogenetic implications, D E Soltis, P S Soltis and B G Milligan; Molecular evidence and plant introgression, L H Reiseberg and S J Brunsfeld; Molecular data and polyploid evolution in plants, P S Soltis, J J Doyle and D E Soltis; Molecular systematics and crop evolution, J Deobley. Part 3 Model studies of phylogenetic relationships: Contributions of molecular data to papilionoid legume systematics, J J Doyle, M Levin and A Bruneau; Chloroplast DNA variation in the asteraceae - phylogenetic and evolutionary implications, R K Jansen, H J Michaels, R S Wallace, K-J Kim, S C Keeley, L E Watson and J D Palmer; Chloroplast DNA restriction site variation and the evolution of the annual habit in North American Coreopsis (Asteraceae), D J Crawford, J D Palmer and M Kobayashi; Molecular systematics of onagraceae - examples from Clarkia and Fuschia, K J Sytsma and J F Smith; Floral morphology and chromosome number in the subtribe oncidiinae (Orchidaceae) - evolutionary insights from a phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast DNA restriction site variation, M W Chase and J D Palmer; Part 4 Theoretical perspectives: The suitability of the molecular and morphological evidence in reconstructing plant phylogeny, M J Donoghue and M J Sanderson; Character-state weighting for restriction site data in phylogenetic reconstruction with an example from chloroplast DNA, V A Albert, B D Mishler and M W Chase; Polymorphism, hybridization, and variable evolutionary rate in molecular phylogenies, K Ritland and J E Eckenwalder.
This is clearly a worthy volume, with a wealth of information and ideas on the application of molecular data to taxonomy. - Plant Varieties and Seeds; ...an excellent introduction to the field right now - Acta Botanica Useful for everybody interested in Plant Systematics and in the use and problems of modern techniques more recently applied.
