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

OCBIL theory was introduced as a contribution towards understanding the evolution,
ecology and conservation of the biological and cultural diversity of old, climatically buffered …

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

Poales are one of the most species‐rich, ecologically and economically important orders of
plants and often characterise open habitats, enabled by unique suites of traits. We test six …

Background Over the past decade, phylogenomics has greatly advanced our knowledge of
angiosperm evolution. However, phylogenomic studies of large angiosperm families with …

To improve our understanding of the origin and evolution of mycoheterotrophic plants, we
here present the chromosome-scale genome assemblies of two sibling orchid species …

Banana cultivars (Musa ssp.) are diploid, triploid and tetraploid hybrids derived from Musa
acuminata and Musa balbisiana. We presented a high-quality draft genome assembly of M …

Monocots are one of the most diverse groups of flowering plants, and tracing the evolution of
their ancestral genome into modern species is essential for understanding their evolutionary …

Plant innate immunity relies on nucleotide binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) that
recognize pathogen-derived molecules and activate downstream signaling pathways. We …

Land plants first evolved from freshwater algae, and flowering plants returned to water as
early as the Cretaceous and multiple times subsequently. Alismatales is the largest clade of …
