Wisterieae is a tribe of flowering plants in the bean family Fabaceae. The tribe was first described in 1994 for the sole genus Wisteria , but was greatly expanded in 2019 to include 13 genera, six of which were new. Five had previously been placed in the tribe Millettieae. Members of the tribe are climbers of various kinds. [2] Some, like Wisteria, are cultivated for their flowers.

Description

Members of the tribe Wisterieae are either woody lianas or sprawling climbing shrubs. All species have their flowers arranged in either true panicles or true racemes (as opposed to pseudopanicles or pseudoracemes). The tribe belongs to the Inverted repeat-lacking clade; all genera lack one 25 kilobase long copy of the inverted repeat in the chloroplast genome, distinguishing them from genera in the tribe Millettieae, which do not lack this inverted repeat. [2]

Taxonomy

The tribe was established in 1994 by X. Y. Zhu, [1] based on features of Wisteria pollen. [3] Most older genera that are now placed in Wisterieae were previously placed in the tribe Millettieae. As circumscribed in the 1980s, Millettieae was morphologically diverse and was later found to be polyphyletic. A number of studies separated off the "Callerya group" on both morphological and genetic grounds. In particular, unlike the rest of the broadly defined Millettieae, the Callerya group belonged to the Inverted repeat-lacking clade. [3] A 2019 molecular phylogenetic resulted in most of the Callerya group being placed in an expanded tribe Wisterieae, which included six newly created genera. The study suggested that the genera included in the tribe could be divided into five major clades, A to E, which were related as shown in the following cladogram: [2]

Tribe Wisterieae
Clade A

Sarcodum

Endosamara

Sigmoidala

Clade B

Nanhaia

Wisteriopsis

Clade C

Callerya

Serawaia

Whitfordiodendron

Kanburia

Afgekia

Clade D

Padbruggea

Austrocallerya

Clade E

Wisteria

The monophyly of Wisterieae and its broad division into five clades was supported in a 2021 study, with some small differences in clade C. Serawaia was not included in the study, and Callerya bonatiana fell outside the genus Callerya when nuclear ribosomal DNA was used, and was placed in a new genus Villosocallerya. [3]

Genera

In 2019, Compton et. al. included 13 genera in their circumscription of the tribe: [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Inverted repeat-lacking clade</span> Group of flowering plants

The inverted repeat-lacking clade(IRLC) is a monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae (or Papilionaceae). Faboideae includes the majority of agriculturally-cultivated legumes. The name of this clade is informal and is not assumed to have any particular taxonomic rank like the names authorized by the ICBN or the ICPN. The clade is characterized by the loss of one of the two 25-kb inverted repeats in the plastid genome that are found in most land plants. It is consistently resolved in molecular phylogenies. The clade is predicted to have diverged from the other legume lineages 39.0±2.4 million years ago (in the Eocene). It includes several large, temperate genera such as AstragalusL., HedysarumL., MedicagoL., OxytropisDC., SwainsonaSalisb., and TrifoliumL..
