Evolutionary studies in sub-families of Leguminosae family based on
matK
gene
8
(Papilionaceae), Mimosaceae and Caesalpiniaceae;
This study shows that based on morphological
characters species of each subfamily are classified
differently and they fall in different groups based on
DNA and Protein sequences of matK. In this study we
observed that as per the botanical classification species
are classified differently based on their morphological
features like species’ flower color, size and shape,
types and arrangements of Stipules, size of plant etc.
But this study focus on evolutionary relationship of
species in the Leguminosae Family species based on
DNA and Protein sequences of
matK
gene with
Multiple sequence alignment by Maximum likelihood
and Neighbor Joining methods where we observed that
some species belonging to same genus are fall very
nearly as per botanical classification which is correct as
per both botanical and evolutionary relationship but we
observed that few species are distantly related even if
they are from same genus. Even some species’ position
also remains unchanged in both Maximum likelihood
and Neighbor Joining methods.
