説明

<jats:p> An analysis of duplicate phytochrome genes ( <jats:italic>PHYA</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>PHYC</jats:italic> ) is used to root the angiosperms, thereby avoiding the inclusion of highly diverged outgroup sequences. The results unambiguously place the root near <jats:italic>Amborella</jats:italic> (one species, New Caledonia) and resolve water lilies (Nymphaeales, ∼70 species, cosmopolitan), followed by <jats:italic>Austrobaileya</jats:italic> (one species, Australia), as early branches. These findings bear directly on the interpretation of morphological evolution and diversification within angiosperms. </jats:p>
