Wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox), an important ornamental plant, has evolved unique fragrant aroma and winter-flowering properties, which are critical for its successful sexual reproduction. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these traits largely unknown in this species. In addition, wintersweet is also a typical representative species of magnoliids, where phylogenetic position relative to eudicots monocots not been conclusively resolved.Here, we present chromosome-level genome...
Abstract Vitaceae (the grape family) consist of 16 genera and ca. 950 species primarily distributed in tropical regions. The family is well‐known for the economic importance grapes, also ecologically significant with many as dominant climbers temperate forests. Recent phylogenetic phylogenomic analyses sequence data from all three genomes have supported five major clades within Vitaceae: (i) clade Ampelopsis , Nekemias Rhoicissus Clematicissus ; (ii) Cissus clade; (iii) Cayratia Causonis...
Abstract With the decreasing cost and availability of many newly developed bioinformatics pipelines, next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized plant systematics in recent years. Genome skimming been widely used to obtain high‐copy fractions genomes, including plastomes, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), nuclear ribosomal (nrDNA). In this study, through simulations, we evaluated optimal (minimum) depth performance for recovering single‐copy genes (SCNs) from genome data, by subsampling...
The north temperate region was characterized by a warm climate and rich thermophilic flora before the Eocene, but early diversifications of biome under global change shift remain uncertain. Moreover, it is becoming clear that hybridization/introgression an important driving force speciation in plant diversity. Here, we applied analyses from biogeography phylogenetic networks to account for both introgression incomplete lineage sorting based on genomic data New World Vitis, charismatic...
Chelonopsis is a small genus endemic to East Asia. In this study, new species, C. guchengensis , from Nanhe National Nature Reserve, Gucheng County, Hubei Province described and illustrated. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on two nuclear ribosomal DNA regions (ETS ITS) five plastid markers ( trnL intron, - trnF trnS trnG psbA trnH rps16 ) were carried out explore the position of species. A close relationship between species giraldii supported by molecular morphological evidence....
Abstract Reticulate evolution is an important driving force of angiosperm evolution. It has been proposed as evolutionary process in Vitis L. subgenus . Events natural hybridization and introgression several taxa native to North America have hypothesized discussed. However, there no convincing evidence reticulate reported for closely related from East Asia. We aim explore among four Asia ( V amurensis Ruprecht, romanetii Romanet du Caillaud, shenxiensis C. Li, piasezkii Maximowicz) with the...
Abstract East Asian wild grapes show a high level of species diversity and have been widely recognized as important germplasm resources wine, table grapes, resistance to biotic abiotic stresses for the grape industry. However, deeper phylogenetic relationships drivers diversification Vitis remain poorly understood. Hybridization introgression events are not well investigated, particularly at genome‐wide scale. The herein explored using nuclear plastid genome data based on target enrichment...
Euonymus maackii Rupr. is a small deciduous tree belonging to family Celastraceae. It an important ornamental and potential medicinal plant resource. Here, we assembled annotated the chloroplast (cp) genome of E. maackii. By combining this with seven available cp genomes from species, performed plastome variation analysis Euonymus. Furthermore, reconstructed phylogenetic estimated differentiation time The newly was 157,551 bp in size had typical quadripartite structure, which consisted one...
Abstract Investigation of the Mesozoic seed plant Leptostrobus Heer from Yangcaogou Formation Late Triassic and Yixian Early Cretaceous, Liaoning Province, China, provides new insight into its general morphology geographical distribution. The materials L. cancer described herein are later than all past findings this species add to record during Cretaceous. Based on well‐preserved specimens, specific diagnosis is slightly emended reconstruction perfected. placed in sphaericus. In addition, we...
A well-preserved pollen cone of the genus Ginkgo was found in Yixian Formation (Early Cretaceous) Liaoning Province, China, and is described as new species liaoningensis. The cone, catkin-like, consists a main axis bearing scales at its base spirally arranged sporophylls 3–4 (−2) oval or elliptical sporangia. sporangia are pendulous dehiscent by longitudinal slit. mature grains monocolpate elongate-elliptical, juvenile tetrad stage. characteristics G. liaoningensis very similar to those...

Chimonanthus of Calycanthaceae is a small endemic genus in China, with unusual winter-blooming sweet flowers widely cultivated for ornamentals and medicinal uses. The evolution plastomes its phylogenetic relationships remain unresolved due to limited availability genetic resources. Here, we report fully assembled annotated chloroplast genomes five species. the (size range 153,010 - 153,299 bp) reveal high similarities gene content, order, GC codon usage, amino acid frequency, simple sequence...
Study of gymnospermous pollen cones, identified with Sorosaccus gracilis Harris 1935, from the Yangcaogou Formation, Late Triassic China, has led to identification new and significant characteristics species. The specimens show distinct variations in morphology distal laminar portions microsporophylls. These well- preserved fossils are helpful elucidating, reconstructing revising diagnostic features S. gracilis. After comparing China those sibiricus Prynada 1962, cones which were...
<title>Abstract</title> Wintersweet (<italic>Chimonanthus praecox</italic>) is a traditional Chinese ornamental plant that produces showy yellow flowers in winter. In addition to the common yellow-flowered variety group, there wintersweet group unusual yellow-green tepals. Up now, mechanisms underlying coloration of tepals are unknown. this study, results chlorophyll content determination experiment showed 'H37' (yellow-green variety) was significantly higher than 'H25' (yellow variety);...
