Nuclear DNA markers in systematics and evolution

  • Chapter
DNA-based markers in plants

Abstract

Systematic biology studies the organization and origin of biological diversity. Systematists analyze patterns of variation among the products of evolution (species) and attempt to infer the processes involved in evolutionary change from the observed pattern. A variety of approaches have traditionally been used to infer systematic or evolutionary relationships among plant species including morphology, anatomy, cytology, breeding systems, cross-compatibility, secondary compounds (e.g. flavonoids), and isozymes. Each of these approaches has its limitations. For example, although isozymes are useful in analyzing variation within and among closely related species, they are generally not applicable to the study of more distantly related taxa (Crawford 1990). In contrast, morphological comparisons can be made among widely divergent species, but our ignorance of the underlying mechanism of morphological evolution creates uncertainty about the extent to which morphological similarity accurately reflects evolutionary relationships.
