Plastid phylogenomic analysis of Podostemaceae with an emphasis on Neotropical podostemoideae

Podostemaceae are a clade of aquatic flowering plants that form important components of tropical river ecosystems. Species in the family exhibit highly derived growth forms and high vegetative phenotypic plasticity, both of which contribute to taxonomic confusion. The backbone phylogeny of the family remains poorly resolved, many species remain to be included in a molecular phylogenetic analysis, and the monophyly of many taxa remains to be tested. To address these issues, we assembled sequence data for 73 protein-coding plastid genes from 132 samples representing 68 species (~23% of described species) that span the breadth of most major taxonomic, morphological, and biogeographic groups of Podostemaceae. With these data, we conducted the first plastid phylogenomic analysis of the family with broad taxon sampling. These analyses resolved most nodes with high support, including relationships not recovered in previous analyses. No evidence of widespread, well-supported conflict among indi..., , , # Data from: Plastid Phylogenomic Analysis of Podostemaceae with an Emphasis on Neotropical Podostemoideae

This Dryad submission contains five (5) files: 1) Concatenated nucleotide alignment, 2) tree file with bootstrap values, 3) HybPiper target sequences, 4) concatenated alignment partition file by gene, and 5) concatenated alignment model and partition file. Files used or output by HybPiper (target file) and IQ-TREE analyses (concatenated alignment, partition and model files, tree file) included. Each file is explained in further detail below.

GenBank numbers for sequences used in these analyses are listed in Appendix 1 of the main publication and are available on GenBank.
