Leaf, flower, and pollen micromorphology has been informative for resolving taxonomic problems in angiosperms across various taxonomic levels1,2,3,4,5,6,7. In particular, leaf epidermal stomata, orbicules, and pollen exine ornamentation characters have been shown to possess systematic values when examined using both light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and may further be utilized to test phylogenetic hypotheses8,9,10,11,12,13. However, despite an increasing number of the leaf, flower, pollen, and seed micromorphological studies in Iridaceae14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21, leaf margins, stomatal occurrence, and orbicular traits have not been considerably challenged for the taxonomic delineation of two closely related species, Iris ruthenica and I. uniflora. Therefore, understanding their micromorphology may shed light on their taxonomic relationships.

Chloroplast genomes are valuable sources for molecular, evolutionary and phylogenetic studies. In the recent decade, numerous analyses on the comparison of plastid protein-coding genes [73,74,75] and complete genome sequences [34, 76] have been done to answer the phylogenetic disposition at deep-nodes and improve the mysterious evolutionary relatedness among angiosperms. In this study, the phylogenetic position of S. persica within the order Brassicales was established by analyzing multiple alignments of 60 shared genes from 9 families representing 26 genera (Fig. 5). The results revealed that S. persica forms a single clade with A. tetracantha with high bootstrap and BI through different methods. Similarly, this study also revealed that family Salvadoraceae is affiliated with Caricaceae, Petadiplandraceae and Capparaceae [77]. reported that Salvadoraceae is affiliated in Brassicales based on trnL-F as currently considered by most angiosperms systematic.
This book is designed to introduce the fundamentals of systematics in a simple, concise and balanced manner. The book aims to equip the students with the basics of plant taxonomy and at the same time also update them with the most recent advances in the field of plant systematics. The book has been organized into 21 chapters that introduce and explain different concepts in a stimulating manner. The text is supplemented with relevant illustrations and photographs. Relevant literature has been added to provide a better picture of the most recent updates in the field of plant systematics.

Chromoviruses were classified into six clades named Chlamyvir, Tcn1, Tekay, Reina, Galadriel and CRM, these names match to groups described in previous studies [20, 27,28,29, 31] (Fig. 2, Table 2, Additional file 6). These clades differed considerably in some features as well as in their occurrence in various plant taxa (Figs. 2 and 4). Although CHD chromodomains were found in all clades the aromatic cage motif [50] was only detected in a significant proportion of elements of the Tcn1 (95%), Chlamyvir (59%) and Galadriel (56%) clades (Additional file 7). Plant taxonomy examination revealed that chromoviruses that have the aromatic cage motif in their chromodomain are limited to non-seed plants including algae, moss and club-moss species (Fig. 4), suggesting that the loss of this motif either preceded or occurred early in the evolution of seed plants. CHDCR chromodomains were confined to the CRM clade, but were only found in 60% of elements in this clade. The remaining members of the CRM clade either had the CHD type chromodomain (18%) or had no chromodomain (22%). Classification of chromoviruses into six clades correlates with the evolution of major taxonomic groups of plants, suggesting that chromovirus evolution in plants proceeded mainly by vertical means (Fig. 4 and Additional file 1). One possible exception to this observation was the Tcn1 clade that is composed of chromoviruses from moss and club-moss species. This clade consistently clustered on the same branch with non-plant Tf1/Sushi chromoviruses. This suggests that these chromoviruses either evolved under strong selective constrains or were transmitted by horizontal transfer (Fig. 2). Like the Tf1/Sushi chromoviruses, and unlike all other plant chromovirus clades, the majority of elements belonging to the Tcn1 clade lacked PBSs complementary to tRNAs and were predicted to exploit the self-priming mechanism of reverse transcription initiation (Additional files 1 and 5). 2ff7e9595c
