Despite the availability ofa large number of representatives from these five major groups of Mesangiospermae, phylogenetic relationships in the deep nodes still remain ambiguous. One emerging aspect of these studies is their conflicting placement of magnoliids relative to monocots and eudicots that is,either monocots as the sister to a clade of magnoliids and eudicots,or magnoliids as the sister to monocots and eudicots.
