The its Region of Nuclear Ribosomal DNA: A Valuable Source of Evidence on Angiosperm Phylogeny
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 18S-26S nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) has proven to be a useful source of characters for phylogenetic studies in many angiosperm families. The two spacers of this region, ITS-1 and ITS-2 (each

The two spacers of this region, ITS-1 and ITS-2 (each <300 bp), can be readily amplified by PCR and sequenced using universal primers, even from DNAs of herbarium specimens. Despite high copy numbers of both spacers, the near uniformity of ITS paralogues, attributed to rapid concerted evolution, allows direct sequencing of pooled PCR products in many species. Divergent paralogues, where detected, require cloning, but may offer a means of obtaining multiple estimates of organismal relationships and of determining placement of the root in a phylogeny independent of outgroup considerations. In reported studies, variation between ITS sequences is mostly attributable to point mutations. A relatively minor proportion of sites is affected by insertions or deletions (indels) among sequences that are similar enough to have retained sufficient signal for phylogenetic analysis. Within these limits, sequence alignment is generally unambiguous except in small regions of apparently lower structural constraint. Phylogenetic analyses of combined data sets from both spacers, where examined, yield trees with greater resolution and internal support than analyses based on either spacer alone. This beneficial effect of simultaneous analysis is not surprising based on the low number of useful characters in each spacer. This effect also suggests high complementarity of spacer data, in accord with similarity in size, sequence variability, and G + C content of ITS-1 and ITS-2 in most investigated groups of closely related angiosperms. Nonindependent evolution of ITS sites involved in intraspacer RNA base-pairing may occur, given possible functional constraints, but preliminary secondary structure analyses of ITS-2 in Calycadenia (Asteraceae) show no definite evidence of compensatory spacer mutations. As expected, levels of ITS sequence variation suitable for phylogenetic analysis are found at various taxonomic levels within families, depending on the lineage. The apparent rates of ITS molecular evolution are roughly correlated with plant life-form, as with chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) data, but reasons for this observation are unclear. ITS characters have improved our understanding of angiosperm phylogeny in several groups by (1) corroborating earlier unexpected findings, (2) resolving conflicts between other data sets, (3) improving resolution of species relationships, or (4) providing direct evidence of reticulate evolution. Hybridization or sorting of ancestral polymorphism in a lineage can complicate interpretation of trees based on any type of evolutionary evidence, including ITS or cpDNA sequences, particularly in the absence of at least one independent phylogenetic data set from the same organisms. The need for phylogenetic markers from the nuclear genome, to complement the rapidly growing body of cpDNA data, makes the ITS region a particularly valuable resource for plant systematists.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0026-6493</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.2307/2399880</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Missouri Botanical Garden</publisher><subject>Alternative Genes for Phylogenetic Reconstruction in Plants ; Angiosperms ; Biological taxonomies ; Evolution ; Internal transcribed spacers ; Phylogenetics ; Phylogeny ; Plants ; Polymerase chain reaction ; Ribosomal DNA ; Sequencing</subject><ispartof>Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 1995-01, Vol.82 (2), p.247-277</ispartof><rights>Copyright 1995 Missouri Botanical Garden</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c250t-4421f5a3830eda0c6b1e1e824838f85da6f03500d4542dafc5e2c7501adab4113</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/2399880$$EPDF$$P50$$Gjstor$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/2399880$$EHTML$$P50$$Gjstor$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,803,4024,27923,27924,27925,58017,58250</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Baldwin, Bruce G.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Sanderson, Michael J.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Porter, J.
