Phylogenetic study on the genus Leucanthemopsis. Leucanthemopsis Phylogeny

We produced sequences for two chloroplast and five single-copy nuclear markers, using both Roche 454 ngs and standard sanger sequencing. Those genome regions were sequenced in 54 samples belonging to the genus Leucanthemopsis (Asteraceae) and two related genera as outgroups. The obtained sequence information was used to perform phylogenetic analyses on Leucanthemopsis. Species delimitation and origin of polyploids in the genus was also inferred.
