Brassicales ''sensu'' APG II includes families classified under [[Capparales]] in previous classifications. One character common to many members of the order is the production of [[glucosinolate]] (mustard oil) compounds. The APG II system includes the following families<ref>Haston ''et al.'' (2007)</ref>: * Family [[Akaniaceae]] * Family [[Bataceae]] (salt-tolerant shrubs from America and [[Australasia]]) * Family [[Brassicaceae]] ([[Mustard plant|mustard]] and [[cabbage]] family) * Family [[Capparaceae]] ([[caper]] family, sometimes included in [[Brassicaceae]]) * Family [[Caricaceae]] ([[papaya]] family) * Family [[Gyrostemonaceae]] * Family [[Koeberliniaceae]] * Family [[Limnanthaceae]] ([[meadowfoam]] family) * Family [[Moringa]]ceae (thirteen species of trees from Africa and India) * Family [[Pentadiplandraceae]] * Family [[Resedaceae]] ([[Mignonette (Reseda)|mignonette]] family) * Family [[Salvadoraceae]] * Family [[Setchellanthaceae]] * Family [[Tovariaceae]] * Family [[Tropaeolaceae]] ([[nasturtium]] family) Under the [[Cronquist system]], the Brassicales were called the '''Capparales''', and included among the "[[Dilleniidae]]". The only families included were the [[Brassicaceae]] and [[Capparaceae]] (treated as separate families), the [[Tovariaceae]], [[Resedaceae]], and [[Moringaceae]]. Other taxa now included here were placed in various different orders. The circumscriptions of several families are in flux and no consensus has yet emerged; the 1997 [[Takhtajan system]] changed allocations once again, inching towards a clearer structure. Several genera included in Capparaceae as traditionally circumscribed have since proven to be more closely related to Brassicaceae<ref>Hall ''et al.'' (2002)</ref>, and because of this the two families were initially merged under Brassicaceae in the APG II system<ref>APG (2003)</ref>. The subsequent work<ref>e.g. Hall ''et al.'' (2004) and the APG II update by Haston ''et al.'' (2007)</ref> resolved the interrelationships of the Capparaceae-Brassicaceae lineages in more detail and allows to reestablish Capparaceae in a more restricted circumscription, either by including ''[[Cleome]]'' and related genera in Brassicaceae or by recognizing them in the segregate family [[Cleomaceae]]. The relationships of several other genera remain unresolved. ==Footnotes== {{Reflist}} ==References== * {{aut|[[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] (APG)}} (2003): An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG II.
