• Cryptic trysts, genomic mergers, and plant speciation (2003, background): “As molecular tools become increasingly applied in phylogenetic studies, and especially once multiple nuclear genes are employed in addition to cpDNA markers (Small et al., 2004), a clearer picture will emerge of the scope and prevalence of hybridization in plant evolution.”
• Hybridization, polyploidy and invasion: lessons from Spartina (Poaceae) (2009, background): “…copies (diverging after dichotomic speciation), homeologous copies (i.e. orthologues from different species reunited in the same nucleus after allopolyploidization) and paralogous copies (diverging after individual gene duplication) is of critical importance in nuclear genes (Small et al. 2004).”
• Development of COS genes as universally amplifiable markers for phylogenetic reconstructions of closely related plant species (2008, methodology): “…still relatively scarce, during the last few years a growing number of studies has been published that used multiple independent nuclear loci for phylogenetic reconstruction (for a comprehensive discussion see reviews by Sang, 2002; Small et al., 2004; Schlueter et al., 2005; Hughes et al., 2006).”
• DNA barcoding in land plants: evaluation of rbcL in a multigene tiered approach (2006, methodology): “Other nuclear regions are being employed for phylogenetic analysis (e.g., Grob et al. 2004; Small et al. 2004), however, the paucity of known single copy genes that are also widespread across taxa (Mort and Crawford 2004) and the presence of multiple alleles at these sites preclude their use as the…”
• Choosing and Using a Plant DNA Barcode (2011, methodology): “Low copy/single copy nuclear genes: Several nuclear regions have been used in plant phylogenetic studies, such as waxy, leafy, alcohol dehydrogenase and phytochrome genes [62].”
• Phylogenetic relationships within Citrus and its related genera as inferred from AFLP markers (2007, methodology): “In addition to organelle genome segments, single copy nuclear genes, an increasingly used molecular tool for phylogenetic analysis (Small et al. 2004), may serve as an alternative molecular of choice for citrus phylogeny.”
• Potential of molecular markers in plant biotechnology. (2009, methodology): “In addition to biparental inheritance, low-copy nuclear markers exhibit higher rates of evolution (particularly in intron regions) than cpDNA and nrDNA markers (Wolfe et al. 1987, Small et al . 2004 ) making them useful for closely related species.”
