Veronica is the largest genus in the flowering plant family Plantaginaceae and comprises
approximately 500 species. The genus was formerly placed in the Scrophulariaceae family …

Previous studies of Veronica and related genera were weakly supported by molecular and
paraphyletic taxa. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Veronica …

PREMISE Recent, rapid radiations present a challenge for phylogenetic reconstruction. Fast
successive speciation events typically lead to low sequence divergence and poorly resolved …

Background and aims Despite a recent new classification, a stable phylogeny for the cycads
has been elusive, particularly regarding resolution of Bowenia, Stangeria and Dioon. In this …

Over the last decade, molecular studies carried out on the Australasian biota have revealed
a new world of organic structure that exists from submicroscopic to continental scale …

Studying herbal products derived from local and traditional knowledge and their value
chains is one of the main challenges in ethnopharmacology. The majority of these products …

The study of genome size evolution in a phylogenetic context in related polyploid and
diploid lineages can help us to understand the advantages and disadvantages of genome …

Abstract The tribe Astereae (Asteraceae) includes 36 subtribes and 252 genera, and is
distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical regions. One of the subtribes, Celmisiinae …

The nature, value and relative importance of different lines of evidence for deciding the
circumscription and rank of genera are examined and discussed. First, I argue that the …

Angiosperms exhibit staggering diversity in floral form, and evolution of floral morphology is
often correlated with changes in pollination syndrome. The showy, bilaterally symmetrical …
