Overview

"The Caryophyllales is one of the few orders of flowering plants in which the size and delimination is undisputed. However, the evolutionary relationships of families within this group are unresolved." "New results in molecular genetics, phytochemistry, ultrastructure and morphology are discussed in relation to both the traditional classification and more recent treatments of the order. The book provides the systematic with considerable new data that bear upon the relationships within the Caryophyllales." "In addition, characters betalains and sieve-element plastids that have played a major role in shaping the size of the Caryophyllales, as well as new DNA data and the more classical morphological features, are critically evaluated with respect to the evolution of the order."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
