==== Molecular phylogenetic systems ====

The development of [[molecular phylogenetic]] methods for determining [[taxonomy (biology)|taxonomic]] [[Circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscription]] and [[phylogeny]] led to considerable revision of angiosperm classification,{{sfn|Chase et al|2000}} and establishment of Liliales as a [[monophyletic]] group.{{sfn|Fay et al|2005}}{{sfn|Petersen et al|2013}}{{sfn|Rudall et al|2000}} It was clear by 1996, that the most useful system to date, that of Dahlgren, required urgent revision.{{sfn|Chase et al|2000}} The new classification was formalised with the creation of the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] (APG) system (1998–2016),{{sfn|APG I|1998}}{{sfn|APG IV|2016}} based on [[monophyletic]] [[clades]], which continued the use of Liliales as the name for the taxon.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Zomlefer |first1=Wendy B. |last2=Whitten |first2=W.

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group [[APG system]] (1998) established a structure of monocot classification with ten orders.{{sfn|APG I|1998}} Notable was the separation of asparagids, as suggested by Dahlgren,{{sfn|Kubitzki|Rudall|Chase|1998}} into [[Asparagales]], with other taxa placed in [[Dioscoreales]], resulting in a much reduced order.{{sfn|Traub|Kress|2016}}{{sfn|Rudall et al|2000}}
