LE GALL , Line

Recently, Le Gall and Saunders (2007) published a supraordinal phylogeny of the Florideophyceae that revealed a strong alliance between the Corallinales and Rhodogorgonales resulting in these orders being assigned to a new subclass, the Corallinophycidae. The Corallinales and Rhodogorgonales are unique among marine red algae for the presence of...

Systematics of the red algal order Corallinales has a long and convoluted history. In the present study, molecular approaches were used to assess the phylogenetic relationships based on the analyses of two datasets: a large dataset of SSU sequences including mainly sequences from GenBank; and a combined dataset including four molecular markers...
