Molecular phylogeny of the nettle family (Urticaceae) inferred from multiple loci of three genomes and extensive generic sampling

Phylogeny of the Cecropieae (Urticaceae) and the Evolution of an Ant-Plant Mutualism

“…A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Cecropieae genera supports the emerging consensus based on molecular data that the tribe is monophyletic and that Poikilospermum belongs elsewhere in Urticaceae (Romaniuc-Neto 1999; Hadiah et al 2008;Wu et al 2013). Results of sampling three gene regions and all genera in the tribe agree with earlier studies in suggesting that the morphological similarities of Poikilospermum that led taxonomists to place it near Cecropieae are homoplasious.…”

“…Romaniuc-Neto (1999) proposed that all genera of Cecropieaceae sensu Berg (1978) be regarded as a subfamily of Moraceae except for Poikilospermum which he placed in the Urticaceae. Molecular phylogenetic studies supported the placement of Cecropieae in the Urticaceae (Datwyler and Weiblen 2004;Zerega et al 2005;Monro 2006;Hadiah et al 2008;Clement and Weiblen 2009;Wu et al 2013) and the most recent review of Urticaceae nomenclature validated Cecropieae Gaudich. as the name for the tribe ).…”

“…Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that Cecropieae is not monophyletic and that Poikilospermum should be transferred to Urticaceae Juss. (Monro 2006;Hadiah et al 2008;Wu et al 2013). Our study was motivated by the need to clarify phylogenetic relationships among the remaining five genera as a basis for investigating the origin of myrmecophily in Cecropieae.…”

Genetic Analysis of Itchy Leaves (<i>Laportea</i>, sp) in Papua for Herbal Medicinal Products as Development of Studying Economics Value

“…According to Wu et al [11], uriticaceae family members can be grouped into three major clades. One clade of Laportea genus in which there is a third clade, in which there are genus Nanocnide,Uritica, Girardinia, Dendrocnide, Discocnide, Poikilospermum, Urera, Touchardia, Obetia and Laportea.…”

“…Estudos recentes sobre a filogenia da família fornecem um forte suporte para a monofilia da tribo Cecropieae Dumort., inserida em Urticaceae (Wu et al 2013, Treiber et al 2016, incluindo os gêneros tradicionalmente reconhecidos em Cecropiaceae Berg. (Cecropia Loefl., Coussapoa Aubl., Musanga R.Br., Myrianthus P. Beauv, Pourouma Aubl.…”
