Biodiversity results from multiple evolutionary mechanisms, including genetic variation and natural selection. Whole-genome duplications (WGDs), or polyploidizations, provide opportunities for large-scale modifications. Many evolutionarily successful lineages, angiosperms vertebrates, are ancient polyploids, suggesting that WGDs a driving force in evolution. However, this hypothesis is challenged by the observed lower speciation higher extinction rates of recently formed polyploids than...

Abstract Impatiens L. is one of the largest angiosperm genera, containing over 1000 species, and notorious for its taxonomic difficulty. Here, we present, to our knowledge, most comprehensive phylogenetic analysis genus date based on a total evidence approach. Forty‐six morphological characters, mainly obtained from own investigations, are combined with sequence data three genetic regions, including nuclear ribosomal ITS plastid atpB‐rbcL trnL‐F . We include 150 species representing all...

Biodiversity is not evenly distributed among related groups, raising questions about the factors contributing to such disparities. The sunflower family (Asteraceae, >26,000 species) largest and most diverse plant families, but its species diversity concentrated in a few subfamilies, providing an opportunity study affecting biodiversity. Phylotranscriptomic analyses here of 244 transcriptomes genomes produced phylogeny with strong support for monophyly Asteraceae subfamilies tribes. This...

Convergent morphological evolution is widespread in flowering plants, and understanding this phenomenon relies on well-resolved phylogenies. Nuclear phylogenetic reconstruction using transcriptome datasets has been successful various angiosperm groups, but it limited to taxa with available fresh materials. Asteraceae are one of the two largest families important for both ecosystems human livelihood, having multiple examples convergent evolution. phylogenies have resolved relationships among...

Abstract Comprising more than 25 000 species, the Sunflower Family (Compositae or Asteraceae) is largest family of flowering plants. Many its lineages have experienced recent and rapid radiations, has a deep widespread history large‐scale gene duplications polyploidy. most important evolutionary questions about family's diversity remain unanswered due to poor resolution lack support for major nodes phylogeny. Our group employed phylogenomics approach using Hyb‐Seq that includes sequencing...

Abstract Background and Aims Artemisia is a mega-diverse genus consisting of ~400 species. Despite its medicinal importance ecological significance, well-resolved phylogeny for global Artemisia, natural generic delimitation infrageneric taxonomy remain missing, owing to the obstructions from limited taxon sampling insufficient information on DNA markers. Its morphological characters, such as capitulum, life form leaf, show marked variations are widely used in taxonomy. However, their...

Abstract Ainsliaea is an Eastern Asian genus with approximately 50 species, and characterized by two main habit types or leaf arrangements: rosulate leaves aggregated at the stem base pseudo‐verticillate clustered above base. Most species of have been classified into sections, A. sect. Aggregatae , respectively, based on their type. However, recent molecular phylogenetic studies challenged existing infrageneric classifications for systematic value needs to be re‐evaluated because habits some...

Changes in key traits occurring during the processes of plant domestication have long been subjects debate. Only case genetic analysis or with extensive remains can specific sets changes be documented. Historical details are rare and other evidence morphological change difficult to obtain, especially for those vegetables that lack a substantial body archaeological data.

Abstract The monophyly of traditional Aconitum remains unresolved, owing to the controversial systematic position and taxonomic treatment monotypic, Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau endemic A. subg. Gymnaconitum . In this study, we analyzed two datasets using maximum likelihood Bayesian inference methods: (1) markers (ITS, trnL–F ) 285 Delphinieae species, (2) six trnL–F, trnH–psbA, trnK–matK, trnS–trnG, rbcL 32 species. All our analyses show that is not monophyletic subgenus a broadly defined...
