@ARTICLE{TreeBASE2Ref15940, author = {Jaakko Hyv?nen and Satu Koskinen and G. L. S. Merrill and T. A. Hedderson and Soili Stenroos}, title = {Phylogeny of the Polytrichales (Bryophyta) based on simultaneous analysis of molecular and morphological data}, year = {2004}, keywords = {}, doi = {}, url = {}, pmid = {}, journal = {Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution}, volume = {}, number = {}, pages = {}, abstract = {Phylogenetic analyses on Polytrichales were conducted using morphology and sequence data from the chloroplast genes rbcL and rps4 plus the trnL-F gene region, part of the mitochondrial nad5 and the nuclear-encoded 18S rRNA. Our analyses included 46 species representing all genera of Polytrichales. Phylogenetic trees were constructed with simultaneous parsimony analyses of all sequences plus morphology and separate combinations of sequence data only. Results lend support for recognition of Polytrichales as a monophyletic entity. Oedipodium griffithianum appears as a sister taxon to Polytrichales or as a sister taxon of all mosses excluding Sphagnales and Andreaeles. Within Polytrichales Alophosia and Atrichopsis, species without the adaxial lamellae (in Atrichopsis present but poorly developed on male gametophyte) otherwise typical of the group, are sister to the remaining species followed by a clade including Bartramiopsis and Lyellia, species with adaxial lamellae covering only the central portion of the leaves. Six taxa with an exclusively southern hemisphere distribution form a grade between the basal lineages and a clade including genera that are mostly confined to the northern hemisphere.} }
