 | | Complete 18S rDNA sequence data of 65 bryophyte species, representatives of all the classes, were used to infer a molecular phylogeny of bryophytes. |
 | | The results reveal that the liverworts have to be divided into two separate classes, the Marchantiopsida, including Marchantiales and Sphaerocarpales, completely separated from the Jungermanniopsida, including the Metzgeriales and Jungermanniales. |
 | | The Jungermanniopsida form together with the Bryopsida a sister clade to all Marchantiopsida, a result which was obtained with bootstrap values between 97 and 100% in all phylogenetic constructions, irrespective of the method used. |
