"BOP CLADE"

*BAMBUSOIDEAE*

*ORYZOIDEAE*

*POOIDEAE*

.

*the BOP clade (sometimes BEP clade) is 1 of 2 major lineages (or clades) of undefined taxonomic rank in the grasses (poaceae), containing more than 5,400 species, about half of all ‘grasses’*

.

(its sister group is the ‘PACMAD clade’)

(contrary to many species of that group who have evolved C4 photosynthesis, the BOP grasses all use the ‘C3 photo-synthetic pathway’)

(the clade contains 3 sub-families from whose initials its name derives…)

the bamboos (Bambusoideae); 

Oryzoideae (syn. Ehrhartoideae),

including rice;

and Pooideae,

(mainly distributed in temperate regions,

(…with the largest diversity and important cereal crops such as wheat + barley)

.

*’oryzoideae’ is the earliest-diverging lineage, sister to the ‘bamboos’ + ‘pooideae’*
