Although Pentapetalae (comprising all core eudicots except Gunnerales) include approximately 70% of all angiosperms, the origin of and relationships among the major lineages of this clade have remained largely unresolved. Phylogenetic analyses of 83 protein-coding and rRNA genes from the plastid genome for 86 species of seed plants, including new sequences from 25 eudicots, indicate that soon after its origin, Pentapetalae diverged into three clades: (i) a "superrosid" clade consisting of Rosida ...[more]
