(Melastomaceae) is a large genus of the Old-World predominantly woody species. Many species of are used for timber, ornamental and medicinal purposes. The objective of the present study was to undertake a phylogenetic analysis of Indian based on nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA-ITS) and L sequence data. Sampling included 26 species and one variety (20 endemics) representing 67% of the total Indian species. Molecular phylogeny data for analysed species revealed that the Indian is monophyletic. Monophyly is strongly supported in the ITS, L and ITS + L combined analyses. species are grouped in a major clade with strong support in ITS sequence data and moderate support in combined ITS + L analyses.
野牡丹科是一个主要分布在旧世界的木本物种的大属。许多种野牡丹科植物被用于木材、观赏和药用目的。本研究的目的是基于核核糖体 DNA 内转录间隔区(nrDNA-ITS)和 L 序列数据对印度野牡丹科进行系统发育分析。采样包括 26 个种和一个变种(20 个特有种),代表了印度总物种的 67%。分析种的分子系统发育数据表明,印度野牡丹科是单系的。ITS、L 和 ITS + L 联合分析强烈支持单系性。野牡丹科物种聚集成一个主要分支,在 ITS 序列数据中具有很强的支持,在联合 ITS + L 分析中具有中等支持。
