“…Vavilovia combines several of the morphological traits of the genera Lathyrus and Pisum, and Makasheva (1979) proposed that Vavilovia be considered the ancestor of both genera. Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have shown its sister group relationship to Pisum (Oskoueiyan et al, 2010;Schaefer et al, 2012;Mikič et al, 2013).…”

“…The remaining three genera are small and more localized: Lens Medik., with 4–8 species, and Pisum L. with perhaps two species and several subspecies are both most diverse in the Eastern Mediterranean region; the genus Vavilovia Al.Fed. with one or two species is native to the West Asian mountains [2,10]. Fabeae are absent from most of the lowland Tropics and have been introduced to Australia and Polynesia only very recently with European settlers.…”

“…Thus, studies on Vicia included up to 55 species [17-23]; phylogenetic studies on the genus Lathyrus included up to 53 species [12,13,24-26]; several studies analysed the genera Lens [27-29] and Pisum [30-33]; finally, Oskoueiyan et al [10] analysed the phylogenetic position of Vavilovia . Full chloroplast genomes have recently become available for Lathyrus sativus and Pisum sativum [34].…”

Systematics, biogeography, and character evolution of the legume tribe Fabeae with special focus on the middle-Atlantic island lineages

BackgroundTribe Fabeae comprises about 380 legume species, including some of the most ancient and important crops like lentil, pea, and broad bean. Breeding efforts in legume crops rely on a detailed knowledge of closest wild relatives and geographic origin. Relationships within the tribe, however, are incompletely known and previous molecular results conflicted with the traditional morphology-based classification. Here we analyse the systematics, biogeography, and character evolution in the tribe based on plastid and nuclear DNA sequences.ResultsPhylogenetic analyses including c. 70% of the species in the tribe show that the genera Vicia and Lathyrus in their current circumscription are not monophyletic: Pisum and Vavilovia are nested in Lathyrus, the genus Lens is nested in Vicia. A small, well-supported clade including Vicia hirsuta, V. sylvatica, and some Mediterranean endemics, is the sister group to all remaining species in the tribe. Fabeae originated in the East Mediterranean region in the Miocene (23–16 million years ago (Ma)) and spread at least 39 times into Eurasia, seven times to the Americas, twice to tropical Africa and four times to Macaronesia. Broad bean (V. faba) and its sister V. paucijuga originated in Asia and might be sister to V. oroboides. Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) is of Mediterranean origin and together with eight very close relatives forms a clade that is nested in the core Vicia, where it evolved c. 14 Ma. The Pisum clade is nested in Lathyrus in a grade with the Mediterranean L. gloeosperma, L. neurolobus, and L. nissolia. The extinct Azorean endemic V. dennesiana belongs in section Cracca and is nested among Mediterranean species. According to our ancestral character state reconstruction results, ancestors of Fabeae had a basic chromosome number of 2n=14, an annual life form, and evenly hairy, dorsiventrally compressed styles.ConclusionsFabeae evolved in the Eastern Mediterranean in the middle Miocene and spread from there across Eurasia, into Tropical Africa, and at least seven times to the Americas. The middle-Atlantic islands were colonized four times but apparently did not serve as stepping-stones for Atlantic crossings. Long-distance dispersal events are relatively common in Fabeae (seven per ten million years). Current generic and infrageneric circumscriptions in Fabeae do not reflect monophyletic groups and should be revised. Suggestions for generic level delimitation are offered.

“…In contrast, only a single species comprises the genus Vavilovia of the tribe Fabeae, V. formosa, which is hailed as a relict, endangered species and is basal to the genera Pisum and Lathyrus. 12,13 Observations of species spanning all of the genera, clades and subgenera within the Fabeae and Trifolieae (ex. Parochetus) tribes will help us to reveal how stable or labile the evolution of chlorinating ability has been in this clade.…”
