Early diversifications and phylogenetic relationships between major lineages or clades remain unclear. Here we re-investigate Brassicaceae phylogeny with complete plastomes from 51 species representing all four lineages or 5 of 6 major clades (A, B, C, E and F) as identified in earlier studies. Results: Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses using a partitioned supermatrix of 77 protein coding genes resulted in nearly identical tree topologies exemplified by highly supported relationships between clades. All four lineages were well identified and interrelationships between them were resolved. The previously defined Clade C was found to be paraphyletic (the genus Megadenia formed a separate lineage), while the remaining clades were monophyletic. Clade E (lineage III) was sister to clades B + C rather than to all core Brassicaceae (clades A + B + C or lineages I + II), as suggested by a previous transcriptome study. Molecular dating based on plastome phylogeny supported the origin of major lineages or clades between late Oligocene and early Miocene, and the following radiative diversification across the family took place within a short timescale. In addition, gene losses in the plastomes occurred multiple times during the evolutionary diversification of the family. Conclusions: Plastome phylogeny illustrates the early diversification of cruciferous species. This phylogeny will facilitate our further understanding of evolution and adaptation of numerous species in the model family Brassicaceae. date: 2017 publisher: BioMed Central; Springer id_scheme: DOI ppn_swb: 1657469840 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-226793 language: eng bibsort: GUOXINYIPLASTOMEPH2017 full_text_status: public publication: BMC Genomics volume: 18 number: 176 place_of_pub: London; Berlin; Heidelberg pagerange: 1-9 issn: 1471-2164 citation: Guo, Xinyi ; Liu, Jianquan ; Hao, Guoqian ; Zhang, Lei ; Mao, Kangshan ; Wang, Xiaojuan ; Zhang, Dan ; Ma, Tao ; Hu, Quanjun ; Al-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. ; Koch, Marcus A.
