In-Depth Information
Hexopetion
clade was found to be monophyletic with both markers
[29]
. The details
are covered in Section 7.2. of Chapter 7.
Palm phylogeny was covered in detail earlier in Chapter 5, Section 5.2, on rattans
Calamoideae group 5.2. Information on areca and related taxa is given in Chapter
6, Section 6.2, and on Bactridinae, in Chapter 7, Section 7.2. Chapter 8 deals with
phylogeny research on the genera
Geonoma, Chamaedorea, Livistona, and Pinanga
.
An approach combining super tree and super matrix with DNA sequence-based
data and morphological traits is now recognized to resolve palm phylogeny at the
generic level
[30]
. Biogeography information is integrated with DNA sequence data
to understand origin and diversification
[31]
. Such integrated approaches and mod-
ern tools (SNPs) will prove valuable in future palm phylogeny research.
