SYSTEMATIC POSITION OF THE RHOIPTELEACEAE:EVIDENCE FROM NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES OF rbcL GENE
马尾树科的系统位置:来自rbcL基因核苷酸序列的证据

Systematic position of the Rhoipteleaceae was investigated using nucleotide sequences of the chloroplast gene rbcL. Two sets of parsimony analyses were conducted, one using Bauera as the outgroup and the other using Cercidiphyllum Liquidambar as outgroups. The results of these analyses are consistent. Rhoiptelea is allied with sampled Juglandaceous genera in the rbcL phylogeny, suggesting its close relationship with the Juglandaceae.
