Based on analyses of combined data sets of three genes (18S rDNA, rbcL, and atpB), phylogenetic relationships among the early-diverging eudicot lineages (Ranunculales, Proteales, Trochodendraceae, Sabiaceae, and Buxaceae) remain unclear, as are relationships within Ranunculales, especially the placement of Eupteleaceae. To clarify relationships among these early-diverging eudicot lineages, we added entire sequences of 26S rDNA to the existing three-gene data set. In the combined analyses of four genes based on parsimony, ML, and Bayesian analysis, Ranunculales are strongly supported as a clade and are sister to other eudicots. Proteales appear as sister to the remaining eudicots, which are weakly (59%) supported as a clade. Relationships among Trochodendraceae, Buxaceae (including Didymeles), Sabiaceae, and Proteales remain unclear. Within Ranunculales, Eupteleaceae are sister to all other Ranunculales, with bootstrap support of 70% in parsimony analysis and with posterior probability of 1.00 in Bayesian analysis. Our character reconstructions indicate that the woody habit is ancestral, not only for the basal angiosperms, but also for the eudicots. Furthermore, Ranunculales may not be ancestrally herbaceous, as long maintained. The woody habit appears to have been ancestral for several major clades of eudicots, including Caryophyllales, and asterids. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
