Chloroplasts play a crucial role in sustaining life on earth. The availability of over 800
sequenced chloroplast genomes from a variety of land plants has enhanced our …

The advances accelerated by next‐generation sequencing and long‐read sequencing
technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past …

Background Flowering plants (angiosperms) are dominant components of global terrestrial
ecosystems, but phylogenetic relationships at the familial level and above remain only …

Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early
evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny …

Phylogenetic relationships in Rosaceae have long been problematic because of frequent
hybridisation, apomixis and presumed rapid radiation, and their historical diversification has …

Land plants underpin a multitude of ecosystem functions, support human livelihoods and
represent a critically important component of terrestrial biodiversity—yet many tens of …

Background The world's herbaria contain millions of specimens, collected and named by
thousands of researchers, over hundreds of years. However, this treasure has remained …

The Caryophyllales includes 40 families and 12,500 species, representing a large and
diverse clade of angiosperms. Collectively, members of the clade grow on all continents and …

Abstract Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc., P. armeniaca L., and P. salicina L. are economically
important fruit trees in temperate regions. These species are taxonomically perplexing …

The temperate woody bamboos constitute a distinct tribe Arundinarieae (Poaceae:
Bambusoideae) with high species diversity. Estimating phylogenetic relationships among …
