Exploring the phylogenetic relationship of santalaceous genera based on intensive molecular data

The phylogenetic relationship of 83 taxa of Santalaceae s.l. was reconstructed based on the molecular data sets including the nuclear ribosomal (small and large subunit rDNA) and the chloroplast rbcL, matK, and trnL-F regions. The Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods were used to build the phylogenetic trees.
