Phylogenetic relationships in Lupinus (Fabaceae: Papilionoideae) based on internal transcribed spacer sequences (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA¹

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G2E9

Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA from 44 taxa of the genus Lupinus and five outgroup taxa were used for phylogenetic analysis. Lupinus appears as a strongly supported monophyletic genus, which is unambiguously part of the Genisteae. The lupines are distributed into five main clades in general accordance with their geographical origin. In the Old World, almost all the recognized taxonomic units are well resolved. The ITS data reveal an unexpectedly close relationship between the diverse sections Angustifoli and Lutei. The ITS results suggest a geographical division between the western New World lupines and the eastern ones. They also indicate the presence of some moderately to strongly supported groups of taxa, such as the Microcarpi–Pusilli group, the L. spariflorus–L. arizonicus group, the L. mexicanus–L. elegans group in the western New World, and the notable L. multiflorus–L. paraguariensis group in the eastern New World. The latter group strongly suggests that the eastern South American compound- and simple-leaved perennial lupines derive from a common ancestor. However, apart from some exceptions, relationships within the genus still remain largely unresolved based on ITS data. The lack of resolution at the base of the genus is suggestive of a rapid initial radiation of the lupines subsequent to the dispersal of their common ancestor. Relative rate tests demonstrate the presence of rate heterogeneity of ITS sequences within Lupinus. In many pairwise comparisons between taxa, substitution rate inequalities are correlated with the habit (annual, perennial), suggesting some role for the generation time effects in the evolutionary history of lupines.
