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

High-throughput DNA sequencing (HTS) presents great opportunities for plant systematics,
yet genomic complexity needs to be reduced for HTS to be effectively applied. We highlight …

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 …

Sequencing of target-enriched libraries is an efficient and cost-effective method for obtaining
DNA sequence data from hundreds of nuclear loci for phylogeny reconstruction. Much of the …

Cyperaceae (sedges) are the third largest monocot family and are of considerable economic
and ecological importance. Sedges represent an ideal model family to study evolutionary …

The world's herbaria collectively house millions of diverse plant specimens, including
endangered or extinct species and type specimens. Unlocking genetic data from the …

Comprising 501 genera and around 14,000 species, Papilionoideae is not only the largest
subfamily of Fabaceae (Leguminosae; legumes), but also one of the most extraordinarily …

In phylogenetic studies across angiosperms, at various taxonomic levels, polytomies have
persisted despite efforts to resolve them by increasing sampling of taxa and loci. The large …

The reduced cost of high‐throughput sequencing and the development of gene sets with
wide phylogenetic applicability has led to the rise of sequence capture methods as a …

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 …
