Ancient flowering plants: DNA sequences and angiosperm classification

Genome Biol. 2001;2(4):REVIEWS1012. doi: 10.1186/gb-2001-2-4-reviews1012. Epub 2001 Mar 22.

Abstract

Phylogenetic analyses of gene sequences provide a clear pattern of which extant flowering plant genera diversified earliest. Combined with complete genomic sequences, these data will vastly improve understanding of the genetic basis of plant diversity.
