Abstract The East Asian flora (EAF) is a key biodiversity hotspot for understanding the origin
and evolution of Northern Hemisphere floras, but there is an ongoing debate on whether it is …

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

Fructans are multifunctional fructose‐based water soluble carbohydrates found in all
biological kingdoms but not in animals. Most research has focused on plant and microbial …

Premise of the Study We present the first plastome phylogeny encompassing all 77 monocot
families, estimate branch support, and infer monocot‐wide divergence times and rates of …

Premise of the Study Phylogenetic support has been difficult to evaluate within the green
plant tree of life partly due to a lack of specificity between conflicted versus poorly informed …

Aim Orchidaceae is the most species‐rich angiosperm family and has one of the broadest
distributions. Until now, the lack of a well‐resolved phylogeny has prevented analyses of …

To advance our knowledge of orchid relationships and timing of their relative divergence, we
used 76 protein-coding genes from plastomes (ptCDS) and 38 protein-coding genes from …

We assess relationships among 192 species in all 12 monocot orders and 72 of 77 families,
using 602 conserved single-copy (CSC) genes and 1375 benchmarking single-copy …

Abstract Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss is a rare species, which exhibits valuable traits.
However, before its genetic diversity and evolutionary were uncovered, its wild resources …

Accurately resolving the phylogeny of enigmatic taxa is always a challenge in phylogenetic
inference. Such uncertainties could be due to systematic errors or model violations. Here …
