The history of long‐branch attraction, and in particular methods suggested to detect and
avoid the artifact to date, is reviewed. Methods suggested to avoid LBA‐artifacts include …

As more complete genomes are sequenced, phylogenetic analysis is entering a new era—
that of phylogenomics. One branch of this expanding field aims to reconstruct the …

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

Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early
evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny …

Water lilies belong to the angiosperm order Nymphaeales. Amborellales, Nymphaeales and
Austrobaileyales together form the so-called ANA-grade of angiosperms, which are extant …

Chloranthales remain the last major mesangiosperm lineage without a nuclear genome
assembly. We therefore assemble a high-quality chromosome-level genome of Chloranthus …

Reconstructing the origin and evolution of land plants and their algal relatives is a
fundamental problem in plant phylogenetics, and is essential for understanding how critical …

Recent advances in molecular phylogenetics and a series of important palaeobotanical
discoveries have revolutionized our understanding of angiosperm diversification. Yet, the …

Premise of the Study For the past one billion years, green plants (Viridiplantae) have
dominated global ecosystems, yet many key branches in their evolutionary history remain …

Aristolochia, a genus in the magnoliid order Piperales, has been famous for centuries for its
highly specialized flowers and wide medicinal applications. Here, we present a new, high …
