Plants belonging to the subfamily Bombacoideae (family Malvaceae) consist of about 304
species, many of them having high economical and medicinal properties. In the past, this …

Cross-species introgression can have significant impacts on phylogenomic reconstruction of
species divergence events. Here, we used simulations to show how the presence of even a …

Passiflora L. has more than 575 species distributed especially in the Neotropics. The
chromosome number variation in the genus is highly congruent with its main subgenera, but …

All flowering plants are now recognized as diploidized paleopolyploids (Jiao et al., 2011;
One Thousand Plant Transcriptomes Initiative, 2019), and polyploid species comprise …

Abstract Background and Aims The entangled relationship of chromosome number and
genome size with species distribution has been the subject of study for almost a century, but …

The baobab trees (genus Adansonia) have attracted tremendous attention because of their
striking shape and distinctive relationships with fauna. These spectacular trees have also …

Breeding systems have been associated with polyploidization and genomic change, which
have a central role in the diversification of Angiosperms. Polyploidy commonly leads to …

This contribution presents descriptions of 14 fossil woods from the Piedra Chamana Fossil
Forest in Peru, an assemblage of fossil woods and leaves dated at 39 Ma (late Middle …

Bombacoideae is one out of nine subfamilies of Malvaceae and encompasses 160 tree
species. The subfamily is karyotypically characterized by small and numerous chromosomes …

Polyploidy and whole genome duplication are major evolutionary drivers in plants. Climate
variations during the Pleistocene have influenced distribution and range expansion …
