Abstract Brassicas boast an enormous diversity of economically important products. Strikingly, relationships among main
lineages are still unknown. The phylogeny of the tribe Brassiceae (Brassicaceae) was reconstructed for 89 species using four
plastid regions (rpl32-trnL, atpI-atpH, psbD-trnT, ycf6-psbM ). Representatives of almost all genera were sampled, covering the
entire natural range of the tribe from Central Asia to the western Mediterranean, including four previously unsampled genera
(Ammosperma, Eremophyton, Fezia, Pseudofortuynia). Phylogenetic analysis recovered eight well-supported clades in the tribe
including a new African clade (Henophyton) comprised of genera that have not been previously sampled. Relationships within
and between the eight major clades are strongly supported for the first time. The earliest-divergent lineages in the tribe are
the clades Vella and Zilla. Henophyton is sister to the clade that includes the lineages Nigra, Crambe, Cakile, Savignya, and
Oleracea. Core Brassiceae—a new clade defined here—is comprised of two subclades: (1) Nigra, Crambe, and Cakile and (2)
Savignya and Oleracea. Within the Oleracea lineage, a new Core Oleracea clade is defined. Several genera were confirmed to
be polyphyletic or paraphyletic, including Brassica, Erucastrum, Sinapis, Diplotaxis and Cakile. Economically important species belonging to the genera Brassica were primarily distributed across the two most species-rich lineages, Nigra or Oleracea.
Collectively, the finding of these novel clades has numerous taxonomic implications.

INTRODUCTION
Understanding the evolution of the Brassica L. crops and
wild relatives (Brassicaceae: Brassiceae), which boasts an enormous diversity of economically important products in a single
tribe (Tatout & al., 1999; Lysak & al., 2005; Schranz & al.,
2006), is perhaps one of the most enigmatic and fascinating
questions in plant evolutionary biology. Brassicas are distributed
throughout the Mediterranean Basin; a region where geological
activity, climatic change and human civilization have had major
impacts on plant biodiversity (Thompson, 2005). Reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships among members of the tribe
is essential for understanding the taxonomy of this ecologically
and economically important group of angiosperms.
During the past few years, three major lineages (I, II, III)
have been recognized in the Brassicaceae using chloroplast
and nuclear markers (Beilstein & al., 2006, 2008). The number of tribes recognized in the mustard family has exploded
from 25 (Beilstein & al., 2008) to 49 (Al-Shehbaz, 2012). The
tribe Brassiceae is firmly placed within lineage II together
with the tribes Thelypodieae, Sisymbrieae, and Isatideae
(Beilstein & al., 2008; Warwick & al., 2009b, 2011). The tribe
has long been identified as monophyletic among the tribes of
Brassicaceae based on morphological (Hedge, 1976; GómezCampo, 1980; Al-Shehbaz, 1985; Gómez-Campo & Prakash,
980
1999; Koch & al., 2001; Appel & Al-Shehbaz, 2003; Koch,
2003) and molecular evidence (Warwick & Black, 1991, 1993,
1994, 1997; Anderson & Warwick, 1999; Bailey & al., 2006;
Beilstein & al., 2006). Morphologically, members of the tribe
Brassiceae (47 genera and ca. 227 spp.; Al-Shehbaz, 2012) are
distinguished from other members of the family by cotyledons
that are longitudinally folded around the radicle (conduplicate
cotyledons), transversely segmented fruits that contain seeds
in one or both segments (heteroarthrocarpic; Appel, 1999) and,
if present, simple hairs (Gómez-Campo, 1980; Al-Shehbaz,
1985; Gómez-Campo & Prakash, 1999). Massive evolutionary
radiation in the Brassiceae has taken place in the southwestern Mediterranean region (Gómez-Campo, 1980). More than
twenty genera reach maximum taxonomic diversity here and
levels of endemism are particularly high in Algeria, Morocco
and Spain (Hedge, 1976; Gómez-Campo, 1980; Al-Shehbaz,
1985, Gómez-Campo & Prakash, 1999). Few members of the
tribe extend eastward to India and Pakistan (Crambe L., Orychophragmus Bunge, Physorhynchus Hook., Schouwia DC.)
and native species representation in the New World is known
only for five species of Cakile DC. (Warwick & al., 2009a).
Schulz (1919, 1923, 1936) recognized seven Brassiceae
subtribes using morphology: Brassicinae, Cakilinae, Moricandiinae, Raphaninae, Savignyinae, Vellinae, and Zillinae. Later,
Gómez-Campo (1980) recognized six subtribes by merging

Savignyinae and Vellinae on the basis of their seed wing. Although Schulz (1919, 1923, 1936) and Gómez-Campo (1980)
both grouped all Brassica species into subtribe Brassicinae,
later molecular studies showed the genus to be polyphyletic
(Yanagino & al., 1987; Song & al., 1990). Warwick & Black
(1991, 1993, 1994, 1997) and Warwick & Sauder (2005) have
suggested several sub-tribal classifications based on ITS, restriction site polymorphisms and the chloroplast region trnL. In
these analyses seven major groups are moderately supported:
the Oleracea, Nigra, Cakile, Crambe, Savignya, Zilla, and
Vella lineages (Warwick & Hall, 2009). However relationships
among the main lineages and genera in the tribe remain poorly
understood. In addition to the unresolved phylogenetic resolution among the subtribes, several genera within the Brassiceae
are also poorly circumscribed. For example, the genera Erucastrum C. Presl., Sinapis L. and Diplotaxis DC. have also been
shown to be polyphyletic and morphology has proven to be a
poor estimator of the evolutionary relatedness among species in
the tribe (Warwick & Hall, 2009; Hall & al., 2011). Evolutionary placements of the genera Ammosperma Hook. f., Douepia
Cambess., Eremophyton Bég., Fezia Pit., Orychophragmus,
Pseudofortuynia Hedge and Quezeliantha H. Scholz, are still
controversial or unknown (Warwick & Sauder, 2005; Bailey
& al., 2006; Warwick & Hall, 2009). Progress toward resolving
the tribal phylogeny and establishing the monophyly of genera
has been slow due to (1) the selection of few and poorly informative molecular markers for phylogenetic studies; and because
(2) classification schemes proposed solely on morphological
characters have not been supported by modern molecular systematic data. A strong phylogenetic framework is required in
order to restructure the classification of members of the tribe,
in particular the most species-rich and polyphyletic genera.
Many questions about the genomic relationships among
the six cultivated species of Brassica, known as the triangle
of U, also remain unresolved (U Nagaharu, 1935). For example, the evolutionary relationships among the “diploid” crops,
B. rapa L.(e.g., Pak-choi, Chinese cabbage, turnip), B. nigra
(L.) W.D.J. Koch (e.g., black mustard), and B. oleracea L. (e.g.,
cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale), and
their allotetraploid hybrid crops B. juncea L. (Coss.) (Indian
mustard), B. napus L. (e.g., canola, rapeseed, rutabega), and
B. carinata A. Braun (e.g., Ethiopian mustard) are still obscure.
The domesticated species B. rapa and B. oleracea, members
of the Oleracea clade, seem to be closely related (Warwick
& Hall, 2009) and show close parallels in morphological traits
selected during domestication (Mizushima & Tsunoda, 1967).
In this study, the principle aims were to (1) resolve the
relationships within and among clades comprising the tribe
Brassiceae and (2) place previously unsampled genera and species. To achieve these goals, the taxonomic sampling within
Brassiceae was increased to represent the current classification
at generic and subgeneric levels. In addition, data from four
rapidly evolving non-coding chloroplast regions (rpl32-trnL,
atpI-atpH, psbD-trnT, ycf6-psbM) were used. Parsimony, likelihood and Bayesian analyses were performed to obtain the
phylogeny. The taxonomic implications for the discovery of
novel clades are discussed.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Taxon sampling. — The initial taxon sampling included
142 samples representing 89 species of the tribe and 24 outgroups. The final taxon sampling set (deposited in GenBank)
included 110 samples representing 89 species and 39 genera of
the tribal ingroup, and 15 species belonging to different tribes
in the Brassicaceae used as outgroups (Appendix). Leaf material
for DNA extraction was collected from (1) plants grown from
seed, (2) herbarium specimens, and (3) plants collected in the
wild. Seeds came from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the specialized mustard seed bank at La
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain. Plants were grown in
the greenhouses at the Bond Life Sciences Center (University of
Missouri, Columbia). Herbarium vouchers were collected when
plants flowered and germination time and flowering time was
recorded for all specimens. Fieldwork was conducted in southern Spain (Granada, Almeria, Murcia, Alicante) in the spring
of 2010 covering 3820 km across the center of diversity for the
tribe; 114 specimens were collected (including herbarium material and seeds) representing 32 species. Herbarium vouchers
were deposited at MA, MO, and UMO. Specimens of genera
and species that have not been previously sampled in the tribe
were collected for DNA extraction in MA. These samples were
mostly from rare and endemic North African species.
DNA extraction and selection of molecular markers. —
Total DNA was isolated from fresh leaf material or silica-dried
leaves using DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, California, U.S.A.) and standard CTAB protocols (Doyle & Doyle,
1987). A pilot study of chloroplast regions was conducted using
species representing the different subtribes and lineages previously identified in the tribe and several outgroups. Nine noncoding regions of the chloroplast genome (Shaw & al., 2005,
2007) were sequenced and from these, four phylogenetically
informative and variable chloroplast markers were selected
(rpl32-trnL, atpI-atpH, psbD-trnT, ycf6-psbM). In addition,
three low-copy nuclear markers were sequenced for variability
based on their utility in previous studies in the Brassicaceae
(Duarte & al., 2010): SCG4609: carboxymethylenebutenolidase
family, SCG4474: aminotransferase, class V, SCG5585: putative
c-myc-binding protein. However, none of these regions showed
high variation within the tribe Brassiceae.
DNA amplification, sequencing and alignment. — Amplification and sequencing primers for all regions were based
on previous studies (Shaw & al., 2005, 2007). PCR reactions
for all chloroplast regions mixes were: 10 mL ddH2O, 100 ng
template DNA, 20 mM Econo-Taq PLUS GREEN 2X Master
mix (Lucigen, Radno, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., Cat. No. 30033-1),
10 mM forward primer, and 10 mM reverse primer. Regions
were amplified in 25 mL with an Eppendorf Master Cycler
epigradient S thermal cycler using an initial 5 min denaturation
at 80°C; followed by 30 cycles of 95°C denaturation for 1 min,
1 min annealing at 50°C, and 4 min extension at 65°C; followed
by 5 min of final extension at 65°C.
PCR products were cleaned using PCR Purification Kit
(Invitrogen K3100-01, Carlsbad, California, U.S.A.). Gel electrophoresis of PCR products was used to determine product size

and concentration. Cycle sequencing reactions used the ABI
PRISM BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, U.S.A.)
and the thermocycler parameters 94°C for 5 min, 50 cycles
of 94°C for 1 min, and final elongation at 60°C for 10 min.
Samples were electrophoresed on a Beckman Coulter CEQ
8000 sequencer Applied Biosystems 3730xl automated DNA
sequencing instrument, using 96 cm capillary arrays and POP-7
polymer. Data were analyzed using PE-Biosystems version 3.7
of the program Sequencing Analysis at the DNA Core facility
of the University of Missouri, Columbia. DNA sequences were
edited using SeqMan (DNAStar Inc., Madison, Wisconsin,
U.S.A.) and aligned using MUSCLE v.3.8.31 (Edgar, 2004). All
sequences were submitted to NCBI-GenBank (www.ncbi.nlm.
nih.gov/genbank; JQ911043–JQ911509, JQ941446–JQ941493,
JQ941495–JQ941598; Appendix) and gene alignments were
submitted to TreeBASE (http://treebase.org, 13066). Phylogenetic inferences were optimized by the experimental removal of
data (i.e., characters, ingroup taxa with incomplete data and/or
long branches, outgroup taxa numbers; see Table 1) and manual
alignment in some of the hypervariable regions.
Phylogenetic analyses. — The four intergenic regions of
the chloroplast were concatenated as one dataset given the uniparental inheritance and lack of recombination in the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred from the
nucleotide data using maximum parsimony (MP), maximum
likelihood (ML), and Bayesian inference (BI). Phylogenies
were generated on the Cyberinfrastructure for Phylogenetic
Research (CIPRES) portal 2 teragrid (http://www.phylo.org)
(Miller & al., 2010). Phylogenetic analyses were rooted using 12
to 24 outgroups chosen based on recent phylogenies published
for the family (Beilstein & al., 2008) (Appendix).
For parsimony analysis, individual bases were considered
multistate, unordered characters of equal weight; unknown
nucleotides were treated as uncertainties. MP analyses were
implemented in PAUPRat (Sikes & Lewis, 2001) based on Parsimony Ratchet (Nixon, 1999). Two hundred multiple independent searches were performed and each search involved 500
iterations. Tree-bisection-reconnection (TBR) branch swapping
was used. Consistency indices (CI) and retention indices (RI)
were calculated to evaluate the amount of homoplasy in the
data using PAUP* v.4.0b10 (Swofford, 2003).
Maximum likelihood and ML bootstrapping (MLB), with
different models allowed for each gene partition, was performed using the program RAxML v.7.0.4 (Stamatakis, 2006;
Stamatakis & al., 2008). The program automatically determines
the number of bootstrap runs necessary to reach completion.
For Bayesian methods (BI) the optimal model of sequence evolution was found using jModeltest and only the Akaike information criterion (AIC) was reported here (Posada & Crandall,
1998). Bayesian analyses were conducted using MrBayes v.3.1
(Ronquist & Huelsenbeck, 2003) allowing different models
for each region and using default priors (Ronquist & Huelsenbeck, 2003; Alfaro & Holder, 2006). Two independent runs of
10,000,000 generations were completed with four chains each
(three heated, one cold), using a chain temperature of 0.2 and
uniform priors. Trees were sampled every 1000 generations.
Likelihood-by-generation plots were created, and the first 25%
of runs were discarded as burn-in. A majority-rule consensus of
the remaining trees from the two runs was produced and used
as the Bayesian inference tree with posterior probabilities (PP).
Chain convergence was checked using the program AWTY
(Nylander & al., 2008).

RESULTS
Initial preliminary analyses included 142 samples/
sequences representing 89 species of the tribe and 24 outgroups (see Table 1). Sequences were deposited in GenBank
for 110 samples representing 89 of the 227 species (39.2%)
and 39 of 47 genera (83%) of the tribe. In addition, 15 species
belonging to different tribes in the Brassicaceae were used
as outgroups (Appendix). In the final phylogenetic analyses,
some accessions were excluded because of incomplete datasets for some of the regions sequenced and long-branch attraction problems; and a few characters were removed where
homology could not be unambiguously assigned (taxon and
character sampling summarized in Table 1). After experimenting with data removal (i.e., taxa and character removal
and manual alignment in hypervariable regions) and analyzing several data matrices to optimize phylogenetic inference, the final combined matrix of cpDNA markers included
101 samples representing 76 species of the ingroup and 12
outgroups.
The final aligned data matrix was 3110 bp long; of which
600 bp were parsimony-informative, and 509 bp were variable
but parsimony-uninformative. The number of parsimony-informative characters varied among loci: rpl32-trnL had the highest
number of informative characters in the alignment (402 bp of
1471 bp in the alignment), followed by psbD-trnT (179 bp of
1051 bp), atpI-atpH (146 bp of 611 bp) and ycf6-psbM (145 bp
of 566 bp; Table 1).
jModeltest generated the following nucleotide evolution
models for the cp-DNA regions: rpl32-trnL fits to TPM1uf
+ I + G, atpI-atpH fits to TVM + G, psbD-trnT fits to GTR + G,
ycf6-psbM fits to GTR + I + G. The BI consensus tree from
MrBayes run with different models allowed for each partition
had a best score of −lnL = 8727.53. Support values from MLB
values were lower than BI posterior probability values (Figs.
1 & 2). MP analyses for the cp-DNA phylogeny recovered 169
trees of length 2285, with a CI of 0.63 and RI of 0.79 (Table 1).
MP, ML and BI analyses yielded the same tree topology with
the exception of few taxa within the Nigra and Oleracea clades.
Bootstrap values and posterior probabilities both supported
eight main clades in this phylogeny, and only a few clades
were weakly supported within the Nigra and Oleracea clade
(Figs. 1 & 2).
The monophyly of the tribe is confirmed with the chloroplast markers (98% MLB). Eight well-supported lineages
were identified in the tribe (Figs. 1 & 2): Cakile (100% MLB),
Crambe (100% MLB), Nigra (96% MLB), Oleracea (100%
MLB), Savignya (94% MLB), Vella (100% MLB), Zilla
(100% MLB) and a new African clade Henophyton (98%
MLB). The relationships among these eight clades are
strongly supported. The earliest-divergent lineages in the
tribe are the sister clades Vella + Zilla (92% MLB). Henophyton + Nigra + Crambe + Cakile + Savignya + Oleracea form a
strongly supported clade (100% MLB). Henophyton is sister
to the clade Nigra + Crambe + Cakile + Savignya + Oleracea (98%
MLB). Core Brassiceae—a new clade defined here—is comprised of two subclades: (1) Nigra and Crambe + Cakile (82%
984
TAXON 61 (5) • October 2012: 980–988
MLB) and (2) Savignya + Oleracea (96% MLB) (Fig. 1). Within
the Oleracea lineage, a new Core Oleracea clade is also defined
(indicated in Fig. 1).
Previously unsampled genera. — Four genera were sampled for the first time. Ammosperma, Eremophyton, and Fezia
were found to fall into the tribe Brassiceae and Pseudofortuynia
was found to fall outside the tribe. In agreement with previous
studies, Calepina Adans., and Coringia C. Presl. were also
found to fall outside the tribe (Warwick & al., 2010).
Polyphyletic and paraphyletic genera. — Several genera
were confirmed not to be monophyletic in the cp-phylogeny including Brassica, Erucastrum, Sinapis, Diplotaxis and Cakile.
Other genera may also be polyphyletic with increased taxon
sampling and increased phylogenetic resolution. For Brassica, 23 of 38 species were included here (61% of spp. in the
genus), 16 of these belong to the Oleracea lineage, and seven
to the Nigra lineage (Fig. 1). Eight of 23 Erucastrum species
were included here; two are placed in the Oleracea lineage,
and six in the Nigra lineage. Two of the six species of Cakile
were included here, and the genus is confirmed as paraphyletic
since C. lanceolata (Willd.) O.E. Schulz is more closely related
to Didesmus bipinnatus DC. (65% MLB) than to C. maritime
Scop. (Fig. 1) (Hall & al., 2011). Henophyton Coss & Durieu
(2 spp.) is also paraphyletic as Henophyton deserti (Coss & Durieu) Coss & Durieu forms a clade with Ammosperma cinerea Baill. (83% MLB; Fig. 1) while Henophyton zygarrhenum
(Maire) Gómez-Campo forms a polytomy with Trachystoma
labasii Maire, and Henophyton deserti + Ammosperma cinerea
(100% MLB; Fig. 1).

DISCUSSION
Phylogenetic relationships. — The analyses presented
here contain more sequence data per taxon and wider sampling
of genera and species in the tribe Brassiceae than any other
study published to date (Appendix). Only two genera it the
tribe, Douepia and Quezeliantha, have not been sampled in
molecular phylogenetic studies. This study supports the seven
previously discovered lineages that were recovered with chloroplast markers (Warwick & Black, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1997)
and adds a new lineage designated here as Henophyton—corresponding to the oldest genus name. This lineage contains
previously unsampled and rare taxa (Ammosperma cinerea,
Henophyton zygarrhenum) native to North Africa. This is also
the first study to resolve the relationships among the eight main
lineages in the tribe with high bootstrap support values ≥ 80%
(Fig. 2).
In addition to constructing a robust phylogeny among the
main eight lineages of the Brassiceae, these results clarify many
of the relationships among genera and species. Some of these
polyphyletic genera are economically important and include
domesticated species that occur primarily in two species-rich
lineages (Oleracea, Nigra). Most of the Erucastrum species included in this study were placed within the Nigra lineage (5 of
7 spp.), while the two Diplotaxis species were placed within the
Oleracea lineage, and all the Sinapis species belonged to the
Nigra lineage. Before making taxonomic changes, the plastid
phylogeny presented here should be tested with nuclear genes
(Wendel & Doyle, 1998), especially given the high frequency of
ancient and recent hybridization (Hauser & al., 1997, 1998) and
polyploidization events (Lysak & Lexer, 2006; Schranz & al.,
2006; Warwick & Hall, 2009) in the Brassicaceae; and because
recent studies within the tribe show that nuclear and chloroplast
markers recover markedly different topologies (Hall & al., 2011).
MP, ML and BI analyses resulted in identical topologies for
the backbone of the phylogeny and there were only minor disagreements in species relationships in the Oleracea and Nigra
lineages. Three genera of the Brassicaceae were placed outside
the tribe: Calepina, Coringia, and Pseudofortuynia; a result
that agrees with Warwick & al. (2010) for the first two genera.
Three genera previously included in the tribe based on morphological data were newly sampled here and were supported as
belonging in the tribe: Ammosperma, Eremophyton, and Fezia.
The new clade Henophyton contains the genera Henophyton
(2 spp. included), Ammosperma (1 of 2 spp. included), and
Pseuderucaria O.E. Schulz (1 of 2 spp. included). Previous
studies have not placed these taxa in the main seven lineages
(Warwick & Hall, 2009).
Cole crops and wild species (n = 9) constitute the section Brassica of the polyphyletic genus Brassica. In the tribal
phylogeny these species constitute the core of the Oleracea
clade (Fig. 1). Crosses between B. oleracea and wild relatives
are known to produce fertile or semi-fertile offspring, making the taxonomy and phylogenetic reconstructions in this
clade challenging. Contrasting hypotheses about the origin
of B. oleracea remain a heated topic of debate (Neutrofal,
1927; Song & al., 1990, Allender & al., 2007). Our phylogeny
partially reconstructs the evolutionary relationships between
wild relatives and B. oleracea varieties.
Taxonomic implications. — These results suggest that there
are eight lineages within the tribe Brassiceae (Fig. 1), assuming
that future studies using multiple nuclear loci confirm the species tree inferred from the present plastid phylogeny. Four of the
seven named subtribes, Cakilinae, Savignynae, Vellinae and Zillinae (Schulz, 1919, 1923, 1936; Gómez-Campo, 1980) can be retained as they correspond to the informally named monophyletic
lineages Cakile, Savignya, Vella, and Zilla, respectively (Fig. 2).
However, the traditional subtribes of Brassicinae, Moricandiinae,
and Raphaninae should be phylogenetically and taxonomically
recircumscribed as they do not correspond to the monophyletic
lineages Oleracea, Nigra, and Crambe. Brassicinae includes genera like Brassica that are polyphyletic across the Oleracea and
Nigra lineages. Moricandiinae is monophyletic but embedded
within the Oleracea lineage. Raphaninae is problematic because
it includes 18 genera that are in the Nigra, Cakile and Crambe
lineages (Dixon, 2007). Finally, a new subtribe would need to
be erected for the Henophyton lineage recognized in this study.
In addition to defining lineages within the tribe, new
generic-level classifications will be needed for polyphyletic
genera such Brassica, Diplotaxis, Erucastrum and Sinapis
(Warwick & Black, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1997; Warwick & Sauder
2005) and paraphyletic genera such as Cakile (Hall & al., 2011)
and Henophyton. Economically important Brassica is a polyphyletic genus, with species found across three named subtribes
(Brassicinae, Moricandiinae, Raphaninae) and two informal
lineages (Nigra, Oleracea; Gómez-Campo & Prakash, 1999).
The high taxon sampling and inclusion of specimens that represent the majority of type species for genera in the tribe provides
a strong phylogenetic framework in which taxonomy can be
re-evaluated. The use of type species in molecular studies can
potentially be a reference to restructure the existing classification of the tribe. For example, Brassica may be restricted to just
the species within the clade containing B. oleracea (the type
species for the genus) and wild relatives (Core Oleracea; Fig. 1).
However, Carrichtera annua L. (DC.) should not be transferred
to Brassica since nuclear phylogenies and morphology suggested this species is more closely related to Vella L. than to
B. oleracea (Gómez-Campo, 1980; Warwick & Sauder, 2005).
No firm taxonomic decisions regarding the circumscription of
genera in the tribe should be made until further studies (including multiple nuclear loci, chromosome number, morphology,
and other data types) confirm these results.
Concluding remarks. — A robust chloroplast phylogeny
was constructed for members of the tribe Brassiceae and a new
lineage was discovered. This lineage—informally recognized
here as Henophyton—is composed of rare North African taxa.
Relationships within and between the eight major clades were
strongly supported and clade names are suggested for the Core
Brassiceae and Core Oleracea. This phylogeny placed species
belonging to the polyphyletic genera Brassica and Erucastrum in either of the two most species-rich lineages, Nigra
or Oleracea, presenting a robust phylogenetic framework for
future studies using multiple nuclear loci with which genuslevel taxonomy can be reevaluated.
