2007 journal article

Evolutionary patterns in the antR-Cor gene in the dwarf dogwood complex (Cornus, Cornaceae)

Genetica, 130(1), 19–34.

By: C. Fan n, Q. Xiang n , D. Remington *, M. Purugganan n & B. Wiegmann n 

author keywords: Cornus; gene evolution; hybridization; Myc-like anthocyanin regulatory gene; mucleotide polymorphism; polyploid; speciation
MeSH headings : Alaska; Amino Acid Sequence; Base Sequence; British Columbia; Color; Cornus / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Flowers / genetics; Genes, Plant; Genetic Variation; Idaho; Molecular Sequence Data; Oregon; Phylogeny; Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid; Washington; Yukon Territory
TL;DR: Seven amino acid mutations that are potentially linked to myc-like anthocyanin regulatory gene function correlate with petal colors differences that characterize the divergence between two diploid species and the tetraploids species in this dwarf dogwood complex, providing a working hypothesis for testing the role of the gene in speciation and its link to the petal coloration.

2005 journal article

Phylogenetic analyses identify 10 classes of the protein disulfide isomerase family in plants, including single-domain protein disulfide isomerase-related proteins

Plant Physiology, 137(2), 762–778.

By: N. Houston n, C. Fan n, Q. Xiang n , J. Schulze n, R. Jung n & R. Boston n

MeSH headings : Base Sequence; Evolution, Molecular; Gene Expression Regulation; Molecular Sequence Data; Multigene Family; Oxidative Stress; Phylogeny; Plants / enzymology; Plants / genetics; Protein Disulfide-Isomerases / genetics; Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid; Thioredoxins / genetics
TL;DR: A genome-wide search of Arabidopsis genes was carried out to identify plant PDI-like proteins, and a set of 22 PDIL proteins were identified that constitute a well-supported clade containing orthologs of known PDIs. (via Semantic Scholar)

2004 journal article

Heterogeneous evolution of the Myc-like Anthocyanin regulatory gene and its phylogenetic utility in Cornus L. (Cornaceae)

MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION, 33(3), 580–594.

By: C. Fan n, M. Purugganan n, D. Thomas n, B. Wiegmann n  & Q. Xiang n 

author keywords: Cornus; heterogeneous evolution; myc-like anthocyanin regulatory gene; phylogenetics; positive selection
MeSH headings : Anthocyanins / genetics; Cloning, Molecular; Cornus / genetics; DNA Primers / genetics; Databases as Topic; Evolution, Molecular; Gene Deletion; Genes, Plant; Genes, myc; Models, Genetic; Mutation; Phylogeny; Polymerase Chain Reaction
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that the myc-like anthocyanin regulatory gene has potential as an informative phylogenetic marker at different taxonomic levels, depending on the data set considered (DNA or protein sequences) and regions applied (exons or introns). (via Semantic Scholar)

2003 review

Phylogenetic analyses of Cornales based on 26S rRNA and combined 26S rDNA-matK-rbcL sequence data

[Review of ]. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 90(9), 1357–1372.

By: C. Fan n & Q. Xiang n 

author keywords: Cornales; Grubbiaceae; Hydrostachyaceae; incongruence; long-branch attraction; matK-rbcL; phylogenetics; 26S rDNA
TL;DR: Nuclear 26S rDNA sequences were used to corroborate and test previously published matK-rbcL-based hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships in Cornales and suggested that Hydrostachys might be sister to the remainder of Cornales, that Cornus-Alangium are sisters, that nyssoids-mastixioids are Sisters, and that Hydrangeaceae-Loasaceae are sisters.

2002 journal article

Relationships within Cornales and circumscription of Cornaceae – matK and rbcL sequence data and effects of outgroups and long branches

Molecular Phylogeneics and Evolution, 24(1), 35–57.

By: Q. Xiang n , M. Moody, D. Soltis *, C. Fan n & P. Soltis *

author keywords: Cornales; Cornaceae; Hydrostachyaceae; Grubbiaceae; molecular phylogeny; rbcL; matK; long-branch attraction; RASA
MeSH headings : Cornaceae / classification; Cornaceae / physiology; Endoribonucleases / genetics; Genetic Variation; Models, Biological; Nucleotidyltransferases / genetics; Phylogeny; Ribulose-Bisphosphate Carboxylase / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA
TL;DR: The results supported a Cornales including the systematically problematic Hydrostachys, a Cornaceae consisting of Cornus and Alangium, a Nyss Families consisting of Nyssa and Camptotheca, a monogeneric Davidiaceae, a Mastixi family consisting of Mastixia and Diplopanax, and an expanded Grubbiaceae consistingof Grubbia and Curtisia.

2001 journal article

Phylogenetic relationships within Cornus (Cornaceae) based on 26S rDNA sequences

American Journal of Botany, 88(6), 1131–1138.

By: C. Fan* & J. Xiang  n

TL;DR: The present study generated sequence data from the nuclear gene 26S rDNA for Cornus to test the phylogenetic hypotheses based on cpDNA and morphological data and provides an example of phylogenetic utility of 26 S rDNA sequences below the genus level. (via Semantic Scholar)
