A survey of cpDNA restriction-site variation for 22 species representing
five of the six subfamilies of the palm family was conducted. Phylogenetic
reconstructions based on the restriction-site data are in general agreement
with conventional analyses based on morphological characters.
Base-substitution estimates, derived from the restriction-site data,
indicate a potential 5-13-fold decrease in substitution rates within the
palms relative to rate estimates for annual plant taxa. Approximately 1,000
bp of the rbcL gene (ribulose- 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, large subunit)
were sequenced from species representing two subfamilies of the palms. The
complete DNA sequence data are in accord with the restriction-site data and
indicate a total rate of nucleotide substitution that is about eightfold
lower than that observed for annual plants.
