Phylogeny of Cyperaceae Based on DNA Sequence Data: Current Progress and Future Prospects

Abstract: In the last decade, efforts to reconstruct suprageneric phylogeny of the Cyperaceae have intensified. We present an analysis of 262 taxa representing 93 genera in 15 tribes, sequenced for the plastid rbcL and trnL-F (intron and intergenic spacer). Cyperaceae are monophyletic and resolved into two clades, here recognised as Mapanioideae and Cyperoideae, and the overall topology is similar to results from previous studies. Within Cyperoideae, Trilepideae are sister to rest of taxa whereas Cryptangieae, Bisboecke… Show more

“…70 spp.). Although tribe Cariceae forms a monophyletic group nested in the subfamily Cyperoideae, Carex is paraphyletic, because it includes the remaining genera considered within the tribe (Waterway and Starr 2007;Muasya et al 2008). The Global Carex Group (2015) therefore suggested a new classification resulting in a broader circumscription of a monophyletic genus Carex that includes all other members of the tribe.…”

“…Recent studies reportedly subdivided this family into two clades, which are represented by the subfamilies Mapanioideae and Cyperoideae (Simpson et al 2007;Muasya et al 2009aMuasya et al , 2009b. Among Cyperoideae, the tribe Cypereae may be subdivided into two subclades (Larridon et al 2013): one -"Ficinia Clade", with about 160 species -represents the species of southern Africa, the majority of these bearing spirally arranged glumes; the other -"Cyperus Clade", with about 950 species -represents the Pantropical species, most of them with distichous glumes.…”

“…The current classification of Cyperaceae supports their division into two subfamilies, Mapanioideae and Cyperoideae, mainly based on molecular data Muasya et al 2009). Cyperoideae is predominantly found in grassland environments of tropical and temperate regions, while most representatives of Mapanioideae are associated with tropical forest environments (Goetghebeur 1998).…”
