Mosses are a highly diverse lineage of land plants, whose diversification, spanning at least
400 million years, remains phylogenetically ambiguous due to the lack of fossils, massive …

Abstract Background Subtribe Swertiinae, a medicinally significant and highly speciose
Subtribe of family Gentianaceae. Despite previous extensive studies based on both …

PREMISE The inference of evolutionary relationships in the species‐rich family Orchidaceae
has hitherto relied heavily on plastid DNA sequences and limited taxon sampling. Previous …

A statistical framework of model comparison and model validation is essential to resolving
the debates over concatenation and coalescent models in phylogenomic data analysis. A …

The north temperate region was characterized by a warm climate and a rich thermophilic
flora before the Eocene, but early diversifications of the temperate biome under global …

Premise Understanding relationships among orchid species and populations is of critical
importance for orchid conservation. Target sequence capture has become a standard …

Recent phylogenomic analyses based on the maternally inherited plastid organelle have
enlightened evolutionary relationships between the subfamilies of Orchidaceae and most of …

The Orchidaceae is rivaled only by the Asteraceae as the largest plant family, with the
estimated number of species exceeding 25,000 and encompassing more than 700 genera …

Premise Hybrid capture with high‐throughput sequencing (Hyb‐Seq) is a powerful tool for
evolutionary studies. The applicability of an Asteraceae family‐specific Hyb‐Seq probe set …

The date palm, Phoenix dactylifera, has been a cornerstone of Middle Eastern and North
African agriculture for millennia. It was first domesticated in the Persian Gulf, and its …
