  Molecular Systematics of the Caryophyllales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Relationships in the Caryophyllales as suggested by phylogenetic analyses of partial chloroplast DNA ORF2280 homolog sequences.
Phylogenetic relationships within the angiosperm order Caryophyllales were investigated by comparative sequencing of two portions of the highly conserved inverted repeat (totaling some 1100 base pairs) coinciding with the region occupied by ORF2280 in Nicotiana, the largest gene in the plastid genomes of most land plants.
Phylogenetic relationships among 25 representatives of the Caryophyllales and three outgroup taxa from Polygonaceae and Plumbaginaceae were assessed using structural variation in the chloroplast genome and restriction site variation in the highly conserved inverted repeat region of the chloroplast genome.

 Caryophyllales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Except for the last two families, this group corresponds directly to the Caryophyllales under the older Cronquist system.
Cronquist gave the Polygonaceae and Plumbaginaceae their own orders, which together with his Caryophyllales made up the subclass Caryophyllidae.
The Droseraceae and Nepenthaceae (including the Drosophyllaceae) made up the order Nepenthales, together with the Sarraceniaceae, and the remaining families were placed among the Violales, both of which were included among the Dilleniidae.

 Caryophyllales --  Encyclopædia Britannica
The origin of the Caryophyllales, in consequence, is largely a matter of speculation.
Members of the family have fleshy, untoothed leaves, tuberous rootstocks, and red or white flowers in branched or unbranched clusters.
The order Caryophyllales includes plants ranging from garden subjects and vegetables to bizarre succulent plants that resemble stones.

 Systematics of the Caryophyllids
Placentation in the Caryophyllales is often basal or free central, meaning that the ovules are all attached to the bottom floor of the ovary chamber, or are attached to a central pillar within the ovary.
Finally, all Caryophyllales (with the exception of the Caryophyllaceae and the smaller family Molluginaceae) have a unique class of chemical pigements called betalains.
Botanists have long hypothesized that the closest relatives of the Caryophyllales were the Polygonaceae and Plumbaginaceae, based on similarities in seed morphology and largely for intuitive reasons.

 Caryophyllales
The shikimic acid pathway, particularly phenyalanine, is a starting point for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and the betalains of core Caryophyllales; Kubitzki (1994) suggested a relationship between core Caryophyllales, Magnoliidae and monocots because all contained such compounds.
Non-bordered perforation plates may be a synapomorphy for Caryophyllales or Caryophyllales and Santalales (Carlquist 2000a).
The outer stamens are often initiated in pairs, especially in core Caryophyllales, but also elsewhere in the order (Ronse Decraene and Smets 1993); C and adjacent (antepetalous) A are developmental units in Plumbaginaceae and Caryophyllaceae (Friedrich 1956; Ronse Decraene et al.

 TAXON (IAPT International Association for Plant Taxonomy)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A review of the discovery and early descriptions of Sarcobatus as well as of its taxonomic history is presented.
Studies of the form and size of sieve-element plastids in the order Caryophyllales reveal significant differences between Sarcobatus (so far in Chenopodiaceae) and the majority of the Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae clade (i.e., suborder Chenopodiineae).
The presence of P3cf-form sieve-element plastids and concomitant absence of chenopod-specific P3f-form plastids reinforce other evidence, in particular from chloroplast DNA sequencing, to make appear Sarcobatus quite distinct from the Chenopodiineae clade and suggest that its proper place is in the vicinity of the Phytolaccaceae and Nyctaginaceae.

 Portulacaceae—reconciling DNA with taxonomy, or vice versa
Although the earliest of these phylogenetic studies, based only on morphology and biochemistry, was inconclusive, later work using DNA data has given us many new and surprising insights for the group.
The largest core families of Caryophyllales are those listed in my first paragraph, plus the Phytolaccaceae (pokeweed family) and Molluginaceae (carpetweed family), which are minor elements in Oregon’s flora.
Related families that are outside this “core” group but connected to Caryophyllales include the knotweeds (Polygonaceae), plumbagos (Plumbaginaceae), goatnut (Simmondsiaceae), tamarisk (Tamaricaceae), and sundews (Droseraceae)—families that, in previous angiosperm classifications, were thought to be remote and unrelated.
