Since the discovery of DNA in the 1950s, scientists have developed techniques for better understanding how any two plants are genetically related to one another. Over the subsequent decades, botanists have learned that visible similarities in plants are not always good indicators of close familial relationships as previously thought, and that data derived from studying genetics can be used to understand how plants should be grouped together to understand evolutionary patterns and ecological principles.
