Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)–based methods are widely used to isolate DNA
from plant tissues, but the unique chemical composition of secondary metabolites among …

In the last two decades, plant taxonomy has bloomed, following the development of a novel
technique, namely, DNA barcoding. DNA barcodes are standardized sequences, ideally …

The tree of life is the fundamental biological roadmap for navigating the evolution and
properties of life on Earth, and yet remains largely unknown. Even angiosperms (flowering …

Family Cortinariaceae currently includes only one genus, Cortinarius, which is the largest
Agaricales genus, with thousands of species worldwide. The species are important …

Premise To further advance the understanding of the species‐rich, economically and
ecologically important angiosperm order Myrtales in the rosid clade, comprising nine …

The unveiling of the angiosperm (flowering plant) tree of life over the past three decades has
been one of the great success stories of modern plant biology. Flowering plants underpin …

Background Phylogenetic gaps of public databases of reference sequences are a major
obstacle for comparative genomics and management of marine resources, particularly in the …

Long-read sequencing technologies have improved the contiguity and, as a result, the
quality of genome assemblies by generating reads long enough to span and resolve …

Premise Understanding relationships among orchid species and populations is of critical
importance for orchid conservation. Target sequence capture has become a standard …

PREMISE Recent, rapid radiations present a challenge for phylogenetic reconstruction. Fast
successive speciation events typically lead to low sequence divergence and poorly resolved …
