✦ Synopsis

The small, relatively constant size and conservative evolution of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) make it an ideal molecule for tracing the evolutionary history of plant species, At lower taxonomic levels, cpDNA variation is easily and conveniently assayed by comparing restriction patterns and maps, while at higher taxonomic levels, DNA sequencing and inversion analysis are the methods of choice for comparing chloroplast genomes. The study of cpDNA variation has already yielded important new insights into the origin and evolution of many agriculturally imporiant crop plants, and promises to signlJicantly enhance our phylogenetic understanding of the major lines of descent among land plants and algae.

Anthemideae (Asteraceae) is primarily a north temperate, Old World tribe of 109 genera and approximately 1740 species. We sequenced a 1200-bp portion of chloroplast gene ndhF for representative genera and subtribes and constructed a phylogeny for the tribe. There is support for monophyly of subtribe

Tribal delimitation of Cardueae is controversial, and the traditional classification in four subtribes (Echinopsidinae, Carlininae, Carduinae, and Centaureinae) has fluctuated widely. Most of the problems are centered in subtribes Echinopsidinae and Carlininae, often segregated with tribal rank. We

To obtain a refined molecular phylogeny of dipterocarp species in Southeast Asia, nucleotide sequences of matK, the intron of trnL, and intergenic spacer region between trnL and trnF in chloroplast DNA were determined in 16 species throughout 10 genera. In the resultant trees Southeast Asian diptero
