Combined sequence matrix for: Molecular phylogenetic tools reveal the phytogeographic history of the genus Capparis L. and suggest its reclassification

Capparis L. is the largest genus of the family Capparaceae, represented by 142 species in the tropics and subtropics of the Old World. Despite being one of the medicinally and economically important genera with its unique distribution pattern, the evolutionary history of Capparis remained unexplored. Moreover, the phylogenetic relationships, origin, dispersal, and character evolution of the genus were poorly understood. With the objectives to (i) test the congruence between the molecular and morphological datasets, (ii) validate Jacobs' hypothesis on the origin, dispersal, and speciation pattern of Capparis using new fossil data, and (iii) understand the possible evolutionary role of some key morphological characters, we sampled across the five speciation centres of Capparis. The results derived from three plastidial markers (matK, trnL-F and rbcL) revealed incongruence with the morphological datasets and suggested a new sectional classification in Capparis.

山柑属（Capparis L.）是山柑科（Capparaceae）的最大属，在旧世界热带与亚热带地区共计142个物种。尽管该属凭借独特的分布格局成为兼具药用与经济价值的重要类群之一，但其演化历史至今仍未得到系统阐明。此外，学界对该属的系统发育关系、起源、扩散模式以及性状演化机制均了解甚少。本研究旨在达成三项目标：（i）验证分子数据集与形态学数据集的一致性；（ii）利用新化石数据验证Jacobs提出的山柑属起源、扩散与物种形成模式假说；（iii）解析部分关键形态性状的潜在演化作用。为此，我们在山柑属的五个物种形成中心开展了取样工作。基于matK、trnL-F及rbcL三个质体标记（plastidial markers）得到的分析结果显示，其与形态学数据集存在不一致，并提出了山柑属全新的组级分类系统。分化时间定年分析（Divergence dating analysis）r..., ,
