Toward a phylogenomic classification of magnoliids.

ABSTRACT:

Premise

Magnoliids are a strongly supported clade of angiosperms. Previous phylogenetic studies based primarily on analyses of a limited number of mostly plastid markers have led to the current classification of magnoliids into four orders and 18 families. However, uncertainty remains regarding the placement of several families.

Methods

For the first comprehensive phylogenomic analysis of magnoliids as a whole, we sampled 235 species from 199 (74%) genera and representing all families and most subfamilies and tribes. We analyzed newly generated data from the Angiosperms353 probe set using both coalescent and concatenation analyses and testing the impact of multiple filtering and alignment strategies.

Results

While our results generally provide further support for prev
