“…Similarly, it was previously proposed that there were two colonization events of the easternmost Canary Islands from the same region for the genus Matthiola (Jaén‐Molina et al. ). However, unlike S. arguta , the Matthiola colonization events involved species that form a monophyletic group and therefore do not correspond to two different lineages.…”

Many studies have addressed evolution and phylogeography of plant taxa in oceanic islands, but have primarily focused on endemics because of the assumption that in widespread taxa the absence of morphological differentiation between island and mainland populations is due to recent colonization. In this paper, we studied the phylogeography of Scrophularia arguta, a widespread annual species, in an attempt to determine the number and spatiotemporal origins of dispersal events to Canary Islands. Four different regions, ITS and ETS from nDNA and psbA‐trnH and psbJ‐petA from cpDNA, were used to date divergence events within S. arguta lineages and determine the phylogenetic relationships among populations. A haplotype network was obtained to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships among haplotypes. Our results support an ancient origin of S. arguta (Miocene) with expansion and genetic differentiation in the Pliocene coinciding with the aridification of northern Africa and the formation of the Mediterranean climate. Indeed, results indicate for Canary Islands three different events of colonization, including two ancient events that probably happened in the Pliocene and have originated the genetically most divergent populations into this species and, interestingly, a recent third event of colonization of Gran Canaria from mainland instead from the closest islands (Tenerife or Fuerteventura). In spite of the great genetic divergence among populations, it has not implied any morphological variation. Our work highlights the importance of nonendemic species to the genetic richness and conservation of island flora and the significance of the island populations of widespread taxa in the global biodiversity.

“…Our results are congruent with the current systematic knowledge of the genus. According to Jaén-Molina et al (2009), Matthiola incana was in a strongly supported (100% PP, 89% BS) sister position to a mostly Madeiran clade (100% PP, 100% BS), where the samples of M. sinuata were in a derived position, and M. tricuspidata is sister to these species. We predict that, as has been reported by Jaén-Molina et al (2009) Cytogenetic studies aiming to determine the chromosome numbers in taxa belonging to Matthiola genus are presented in Table 4.…”

“…A recent molecular study of Iranian Matthiola species revealed that the genus is not monophyletic but is instead polyphyletic (Khosravi et al, 2009). Another study reported that Macaronesian Matthiola endemics are of an independent monophyletic origin (Jaen- Molina et al, 2009).…”

IntroductionBrassicaceae, the vascular plant family, consists of 321 genera and 3660 species (Al-Shehbaz, 2012). The cosmopolitan Brassicaceae family is abundant in the northern hemisphere. Currently, there are 49 recognized Brassicaceae tribes into which more than 90% of the genera have been allocated based on molecular analysis (Warwick et al., 2010).A recently published study titled "The Families and Genera of the Vascular Plants" reported that the genus Matthiola is represented by 50 species worldwide, but most of them are found in Eurasia and Africa (Appel and Al-Shehbaz, 2003).Matthiola has 10 taxa in the flora of Europe (Ball, 1964), 6 in the flora of Palestine (Zohary, 1966), 17 in the flora of Iran (Rechinger, 1968), and 15 in the flora of the former USSR (Komarov, 1977). Matthiola has 10 species in Turkey (Mutlu, 2012). The taxa Matthiola ovatifolia (Boiss.) Boiss. and Matthiola trojana have recently been added to the flora of Turkey (Davis, 1988;Dirmenci et al., 2006).Molecular methods have an important role in the identification of phylogenetic relationships within Brassicaceae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have contributed significantly to the generic delimitation on this family (
