The Gunnerales are an order of flowering plants. In the APG III system (2009) it contains two genera: ''Gunnera'' (in family Gunneraceae) and ''Myrothamnus'' (in family Myrothamnaceae). In the Cronquist system (1981), the Gunneraceae were in the Haloragales and Myrothamnaceae in the Hamamelidales.〔 DNA analysis was definitive, but the grouping of the two families was a surprise, given their very dissimilar morphologies. In Cronquist's old system (1981, 1988), and Takhtajan's (1997), the Gunneraceae were in the Rosidae, and the Myrothamnaceae were in the Hamamelids. In modern classification systems such as APGIII, this order was the first to derive from the core eudicots.〔 ==Description== Both families contain ellagic acid. Phloem cells contain a large number of plastids and the leaves have dented borders. The plants are dioecious, have small flowers without perianth, and the stigma is at least weakly secretory. Gunnerales characters that share with the core of the eudicots are cyanogenesis via phenylalanine, metabolic pathways of isoleucine or valine, presence of the DNA sequence of PI-dB motif, 9 and is common to suffer a small deletion in the sequence of 18S ribosomal DNA. The characters which it shares with the core of eudicotyledons, and also with Buxales and Trochodendrales are: absence of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, ''euAP3'' + ''TM6'' genes (gene duplication ''paleoAP3'': Class B), and loss of the mitochondrial gene ''rps2''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gunnerales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
