AB  - Partial sequences of the nuclear gene encoding the photoreceptor phytochrome A 
      (PHYA) are used to reconstruct relationships within Orobanchaceae, the largest of 
      the parasitic angiosperm families. The monophyly of Orobanchaceae, including 
      nonphotosynthetic holoparasites, hemiparasites, and nonparasitic Lindenbergia is 
      strongly supported. Phytochrome A data resolve six well-supported lineages that 
      contain all of the sampled genera except Brandisia, which is sister to the major 
      radiation of hemiparasites. In contrast to previous plastid and ITS trees, 
      relationships among these major clades also are generally well supported. Thus, 
      the robust phylogenetic hypothesis inferred from the PHYA data provides a much 
      better context in which to evaluate the evolution of parasitism within the group. 
      Ninety-eight species of Orobanchaceae, representing 43 genera, are included and 
      Brandisia, Bungea, Cymbaria, Esterhazya, Nesogenes, Phtheirospermum, Radamaea, 
      Siphonostegia, and Xylocalyx are confirmed as members of Orobanchaceae. The 
      earliest diverging lineage of hemiparasites is identified for the first time; it 
      contains Bungea, Cymbaria, Monochasma, Siphonostegia, and the monotypic 
      Schwalbea, which is federally endangered. This basal clade is marked by the 
      presence of two novel introns. A second, apparently independent gain of one of 
      these introns marks a clade of largely European taxa. There is significant rate 
      heterogeneity among PHYA sequences, and the presence of multiple PHYA in some 
      taxa is consistent with observed ploidy levels.
