Ephedra californica Carrizo Plains It s not just a bush it s got a big trunk on it Seen thousands of ephedra bushes but none like this until today There were several others in the vicinity quot The exact phylogenetic position of Gnetales a small highly modified group of gymnosperms with an accelerated rate of molecular evolution is one of the most challenging issues for seed plant systematics Recent results from entire plastid genome ptDNA sequencing revealed the absence of the entire suite of plastid ndh genes in several species of Gnetales and the pine family Pinaceae potentially highlighting a major structural feature linking these two groups concerted loss of all plastid genes for the NADH dehydrogenase complex However the precise extent of ndh gene loss in gymnosperms has not been surveyed Using a slot blot hybridization method we probed all 11 ndh genes in 162 species from 70 of 85 gymnosperm genera We find that all ndh genes are absent across Gnetales and Pinaceae but not in any other group of gymnosperms This feature represents either a major synapomorphy for a clade consisting of these two lineages or less likely a convergent loss Our survey substantially extends previous inferences based on more limited sampling and if the former evolutionary interpretation is correct it provides additional support for the contentious gnepine hypothesis which places Gnetales as sister to Pinaceae quot <a href= http www springerlink com content p0246825l3n76k22 rel= nofollow >www springerlink com content p0246825l3n76k22 < a>
