Molecular systematics of Allium subgenus Amerallium (Amaryllidaceae) in North America

Abstract

We propose an infrageneric classification that recognizes two sections in New World Amerallium. Because there is substantial incongruence between morphological and molecular groups, we advocate retaining informal alliances rather than adopting formal subsections until further morphological and molecular analyses can be carried out.

Genetic diversity of Allium munzii (Amaryllidaceae), a rare southern California species and implication for its conservation

“…A single herbarium voucher per EO was deposited at RSA if plants were abundant and collection of a voucher was permitted by land managers (Table 1). Allium diabolense (Ownbey & Aase ex Traub) McNeal was included as outgroups for the haplotype analysis based on Wheeler et al (2013) and Mashayekhi and Columbus (2014).…”

Phylogenetic relationships of Iranian Allium sect. Allium (Amaryllidaceae, Allioideae) as inferred from nrDNA ITS, cpDNA rps16 and trnL–F sequences

“…1, 2. There have been several molecular phylogenetic studies in Allium (Dubouzet and Shinoda 1998, 1999, Friesen et al 2006, Gurushidze et al 2007, Nguyen et al 2008, Hirschegger et al 2010, Li et al 2010, Choi et al 2012, Wheeler et al 2013, İpek et al 2014, Herden et al 2016, that addressed the infrageneric classification and the relationships in certain species groups. Based on a large-scale molecular systematic study, Allium has been classified into three evolutionary lines, 15 subgenera and 72 sections including A. subg.…”

Seed testa micromorphology of thirty‐eight species of Allium (Amaryllidaceae) from central Asia, and its taxonomic implications

“…The genus Allium L., with more than 850 species (Wheeler et al 2013), is one of the most diverse and taxonomically difficult groups of monocots (Friesen et al 2006, Fritsch et al 2010). This genus is naturally distributed in the Northern Hemisphere (Stearn 1980, Friesen et al 2006, and its main center of diversity is in the mountainous areas of southwestern and central Asia (Matin 1992, Fritsch and Friesen 2002, Friesen et al 2006).…”
