Stilbenes are some of the important phenolic compounds originating from plant families like
Vitaceae, Leguminaceae, Gnetaceae, and Dipterocarpaceae. Structurally, they have a C6 …

Phylogenies are important for addressing various biological questions such as relationships
among species or genes, the origin and spread of viral infection and the demographic …

Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species, of great diversity and
have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One …

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 …

Phylogenetic relationships in Rosaceae have long been problematic because of frequent
hybridisation, apomixis and presumed rapid radiation, and their historical diversification has …

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 …

This review bridges functional and evolutionary aspects of plastid chromosome architecture
in land plants and their putative ancestors. We provide an overview on the structure and …

Background Next-generation sequencing has provided a wealth of plastid genome
sequence data from an increasingly diverse set of green plants (Viridiplantae). Although …

Phylogenetic inference from genome-wide data (phylogenomics) has revolutionized the
study of evolution because it enables accounting for discordance among evolutionary …

Inferring the intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of species diversification and phenotypic disparity
across the tree of life is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. In green plants, polyploidy …
