Phylogenetic Relationship Investigations of Senna Mill. (Leguminosae) based on two Chloroplast DNA regions in the Arabian Peninsula

Abstract

---

The study aims to investigate the phylogenetic relationship of Senna (Leguminosae) based on two chloroplast DNA regions, found in the Arabian Peninsula. It is presumed that Senna plants have been harboring the region after going through a morphological evolution. The study has set a goal to determine the authenticity of the idea. It has conducted a review on the presenting literature determining the taxonomic features of nine native and four cultivated species in the Arabian Peninsula. Data has been analyzed within the parsimony and Bayesian framework. In general, the results of the Parsimony and Bayesian analyses presented similar outcomes. Results of the present study have confirmed congruence in the genus Senna between the two chloroplast datasets rps16 and matK. Outcomes have suggested that there exists a difference in the arriving patterns of the species in the Arabian Peninsula.
