Evolution of Piperales—matK gene and trnK intron sequence data reveal lineage specific resolution contrast

Fossil calibration of Magnoliidae, an ancient lineage of angiosperms

“…This study indicated that the genus Saururus was sister to Gymnotheca, and Anemopsis was sister to Houttuynia, relationships supported by other molecular and morphological studies (Meng et al, 2002(Meng et al, , 2003Jaramillo et al, 2004;Neinhuis et al, 2005;Wanke et al, 2007b;Massoni et al, 2014). Outside the Saururaceae, the relationships are compatible with molecular studies (e.g., Qiu et al, 2005Qiu et al, , 2006Soltis et al, 1999Soltis et al, , 2000aSoltis et al, , 2000bSoltis et al, , 2007Soltis et al, , 2011Mathews andDonoghue, 1999, 2000;Qiu et al, 1999Qiu et al, , 2000Doyle and Endress, 2000;Savolainen et al, 2000;Zanis et al, 2002Zanis et al, , 2003Borsch et al, 2003;Hilu et al, 2003;Kelly and González, 2003;Jaramillo et al, 2004;Wanke et al, 2007aWanke et al, , 2007bMassoni et al, 2014). We thus consider Saururus tuckerae to provide a minimum age for the stem node of the extant genus Saururus, which is also the crown node of Gymnotheca + Saururus ( Figure 1).…”

Meroterpenes from Peperomia oreophila Hensch. and Peperomia arifolia Miq.

“…1500-1700 species) are the most abundant. 1 Comparatively, most of the phytochemical studies have been addressed to the Piper species while in the case of Peperomia only few species have been subjected to chemical or pharmacological scrutiny. The volatile compounds from several other Peperomia species were investigated by chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS).…”

Taxonomic notes on the New Zealand flora: new names in Piper (Piperaceae)

“…and speciesrich Piper has been explored using cladistic and molecular methods (see Jaramillo & Manos 2001;Jaramillo & Callejas 2004;Wanke et al 2007). As a result Macropiper has been merged within Piper (Jaramillo et al 2008).…”
