  abstract     = {{The early diversification of angiosperms is thought to have been a rapid process, which may complicate phylogenetic analyses of early angiosperm relationships. Plastid and nuclear phylogenomic studies have raised several conflicting hypotheses regarding overall angiosperm phylogeny, but mitochondrial genomes have been largely ignored as a relevant source of information. Here we sequenced mitochondrial genomes from 18 angiosperms to fill taxon‐sampling gaps in Austrobaileyales, magnoliids, Chloranthales, Ceratophyllales, and major lineages of eudicots and monocots. We assembled a data matrix of 38 mitochondrial genes from 107 taxa to assess how well mitochondrial genomic data address current uncertainties in angiosperm relationships. Although we recovered conflicting phylogenies based on different datasets and analytical methods, we also observed congruence regarding deep relationships of several major angiosperm lineages: Chloranthales were always inferred to be the sister group of Ceratophyllales, Austrobaileyales to mesangiosperms, and the unplaced Dilleniales was consistently resolved as the sister to superasterids. Substitutional saturation, GC‐compositional heterogeneity, and codon‐usage bias are possible reasons for the noise/conflict that may impact phylogenetic reconstruction; and angiosperm mitochondrial genes may not be substantially affected by these factors. The third codon positions of the mitochondrial genes appear to contain more parsimony‐informative sites than the first and second codon positions, and therefore produced better resolved phylogenetic relationships with generally strong support. The relationships among these major lineages remain incompletely resolved, perhaps as a result of the rapidity of early radiations. Nevertheless, data from mitochondrial genomes provides additional evidence and alternative hypotheses for exploring the early evolution and diversification of the angiosperms.}},
