“…As in Fay et al (2000), representatives of Commelinales, Liliales, Pandanales, and Zingiberales were included as outgroups. For the most part, voucher information for the taxa used in these analyses was previously published (Table 1, Fay et al 2000; or will be published in forthcoming articles (see also Chase et al 2006;Petersen et al 2006).…”

“…Generally, DNA extraction procedures were from silica-gel-dried leaves (Chase and Hills 1991) or herbarium sheets as summarized by Fay et al (2000). A description of the amplification procedures for the seven loci can be found in the following references: rbcL , atpB , trnL-F (primers "c" and "f" of Taber let et al 1991, which include two regions, trnL intron and trnL-F intergenic spacer), matK (Johnson and Soltis 1994), ndhF (Pires and Sytsma 2002;McPherson et al submitted), and atp 1 (Davis et al 1998Stevenson et al 2000).…”

“…GenBank numbers for rbcL, atpB, and trnL-F have been previously published Pireset al 2004). GenBank numbers for matK, ndhF, and atp1 are in press or will be presented in forthcoming publications and will not be provided here (see Davis et al 2004;Chase et al 2006;Givnish et al 2006;Petersen et al 2006). This analysis focuses on only 79 taxa of Asparagales and outgroups, but we are preparing a future analysis of ca.…”

“…With respect to Darlington's scenario for the evolution of the bimodal karyotype, a number of studies has given us new hypotheses about the relationship of Agavaceae to Hosta and "New World Hyacinthaceae" such as Camassia Lindl., Chlorogalum Kunth, and other genera (Bogler andSimpson 1995, 1996;Chase et al 1995;Pfosser and Speta 1999;Pires et al 2004;Bogler et al 2006). Currently, Asparagales are recognized as a large and diverse monophyletic order of monocots that includes ca.…”

“…A number of studies have sampled all of the families of Asparagales sensu Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG 1998). Following early rbcL studies of the monocots (Duvall et al 1993;Chase et al 1995), Fay et al (2000) conducted a four-locus phylogenetic analysis of Asparagales that encompassed most major taxonomic groupings within the order. The primary findings of these analyses were that previous circumscription of Asparagales (Huber 1969;Dahlgren 1980;Dahlgren et al 1985) needed to be expanded to include lridaceae and Orchidaceae (formerly placed in Liliales and Orchidales, respectively).…”

Asparagales are a diverse monophyletic order that has numerous species (ca. 50% of monocots) including important crop plants such as Allium, Asparagus, and Vanilla, and a host of ornamentals such as irises, hyacinths, and orchids. Historically, Asparagales have been of interest partly because of their fascinating chromosomal evolution. We examine the evolutionary dynamics of Asparagales genomes in an updated phylogenetic framework that combines analyses of seven gene regions (atpl, atpB, matK, ndhF, rbcL, trnL intron, and trnL-F intergenic spacer) for 79 taxa of Asparagales and outgroups. Asparagales genomes are evolutionarily labile for many characters, including chromosome number and genome size. The history and causes of variation in chromosome number and genome size remain unclear, primarily because of the lack of data in small clades in the phylogenetic tree and the lack of comparative genetic maps, apart from Allium and Asparagus. Genomic tools such as bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries should be developed, as both molecular cytogenetic markers and a source of nuclear genes that can be widely used by evolutionary biologists and plant breeders alike to decipher mechanisms of chromosomal evolution.
