Evolution

provided by Plants of Tibet
Phylogeny of Sambucus were inferred from nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA, preliminary morphology, and a combination of the two data sets (Eriksson and Donoghue, 1997). Monophyly of Sambucus was strong supported based on ITS sequences and in the combined analysis. Within Sambucus, species with paniculate inflorescences (sect. Botryosambucus) form a well-supported clade, within which the red-fruited species are monophyletic. These results support the view that paniculate inflorescences and red fruits evolved independently in Sambucus and Viburnum.
