Direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products is now an expanding
area of plant systematics and evolution. Within angiosperms the rbcL gene
has been widely sequenced and used for inferring plant phylogenies at
higher taxonomic levels. Unfortunately rbcL does not usually contain enough
information to resolve relationships between closely related genera, such
as Hordeum, Triticum, and Aegilops. One solution to this problem could be
to analyze noncoding regions of chloroplast DNA, which are supposed to
evolve more rapidly than coding regions. Here we present pairwise
comparisons among dicots and monocots for rbcL and two noncoding sequences
of cpDNA (the trnL (UAA) intron and the intergenic spacer between the trnL
(UAA) 3' exon and the trnF (GAA) gene). It appears that these regions
evolve faster (more than three times faster, on average) than rbcL, as
previously reported, and that the trnL intron evolves at a rate that is the
same as that of the intergenic spacer. By the analysis of these regions,
the genera Hordeum, Triticum, and Aegilops clearly could be distinguished.
A phylogeny using trnL (UAA) intron sequences is also inferred for some
species of the genus Gentiana L., clearly illustrating the phylogenetic
utility of these zones at the generic level. The advantages and the
disadvantages of the use of these regions to resolve plant phylogenies are
discussed, as well as the desirability of a preliminary study before every
large-scale analysis.
