I. Anthophyte II. Angiosperms as a Separate Group
Three unrooted trees showing the relationships among the Gnetales (blue),Conifers (Green),Ginkgo&Cycads(Coral) and Angiosperms (fuschia). Bowe et al. 2000. Phylogeny of seed plants based on all three genomic compartments: Extant gymnosperms are monophyletic and Gnetales' closest relatives are conifers PNAS 97: 4092-4097.
Bootstrap Value = 92 Bootstrap Value = 83 Tree based on Phytochrome A and Phytochrome C. Note high bootstrap values for Amborella as basal (Matthews and Donoghue, 1999).
Qiu et al.’s Tree (Nature, 25 November 1999) Based on 5 - genes 2-mitochondrial 2-plastid 1-nuclear Magnoliids Basal Angiosperms Illiciales Nymphaeales Bootstrap Value = 100 Amborella
Barkman et al. 6-gene tree (PNAS 2000).
9-gene tree Barkman et al. 2000
Barkman et al. comparison of bootstrap values for Root A (Amborella and Nymphaeales) vs Root B (Amborella alone). Dark bars are noise-reduced; open are raw data.
Amborella alone is in the basal clade Amborella and Nymphaeales share the basal clade Support Leans Towards a Shared Clade
Textbook Version of the 4 Main Groups These 3 groups are unresolved
4 Main Angiosperm Groups Shown on Qiu’s Tree 4. Eudicots- the largest group 2. Magnoliids 3. Monocots 1. Basal Angiosperms
+ =Illiciales (Trimeniaceae, Amborella) Amborella is native to New Caledonia The ANITA group is mostly Australasian.
Amborellales Amborellaceae Amborella
AmborellaFlowering Branch Amborella branch- evergreen, simple, alternate leaves with wavy edges www.ucsc.edu/currents/99-00/art/ amborella.flr.99-08-30.jpg
Amborella male flower-note “leaf-like” stamens with a thick filament that are spirally arranged. Amborella is dioecious. www.ucsc.edu/currents/99-00/art/ amborella.flr.99-08-30.jpg
Amborella Female Flowers Carpels The “stamen”-like structures are staminodes. www.botany.org/newsite/publications/ajb/2004coverStories.php
Nymphaeales Nymphaeaceae Nymphaea
Nymphaeaceae the “N” of the ANITA groups. Note: Radial symmetry, aquatic habit, palmate venation. We have two local species of Nymphaea
Note many flower parts, radial symmetry http://www.mobot.org/manual.plantas/foto/Nymphaea.jpg
fused carpels, stigmas radiate from a circular disk Stamens with wide- “leaf-like” filament.
Stamens Stigmas Ovary
Nymphaeales Nymphaeaceae Nuphar
Nuphar the other main genus of the Nymphaeaceae found in the NE- note radial symmetry, blade like filaments, fused carpels. We have 1-3 local species of Nuphar.
Rhizomes of Nuphar with leaf scars and adventitious roots. These would grow in the substrate under water.

Nuphar Embryo Sac Recall that Nuphar female gametophytes have only one nucleus in their central cell and lack the antipodal cells entirely-- making their embryo sac only 4-celled!! sy = synergids cc = central cell nucleus e = egg (behind synergids)
