Phylogeny of the Diploid Species of Rubus (Rosaceae).

ABSTRACT: Rubus L. (Rosaceae, Rosoideae) contains around 700 species distributed on all continents except Antarctica, with the highest species diversity in temperate to subtropical regions of the northern hemisphere. The taxonomy of Rubus is challenging due to the frequency of polyploidy, hybridization and apomixis. Previous studies mostly sampled sparsely and used limited DNA sequence data. The evolutionary relationships between infrageneric taxa, therefore, remain to be further clarified. In the present study, genotyping by sequencing (GBS) reduced-representation genome sequencing data from 186 accessions representing 65 species, 1 subspecies and 17 varieties of Rubus, with emphasis on diploid species, were used to infer a phylogeny using maximum likelihood and maximum parsimo
