Organismal phylogeny provides a crucial evolutionary framework for many studies and the
angiosperm phylogeny has been greatly improved recently, largely using organellar and …

The size of the chloroplast genome (plastome) of autotrophic angiosperms is generally
conserved. However, the chloroplast genomes of some lineages are greatly expanded …

Cypripedioideae (five genera; ca. 176 species) are widespread in temperate and tropical
Asia and America. About a quarter (42) of the species have been studied to determine their …

Most species engage in broad interactions, in which they interact with multiple partner
species. The evolutionary processes that generate such generalized interactions remain …

Intercontinental disjunctions between tropical regions, which harbor two-thirds of the
flowering plants, have drawn great interest from biologists and biogeographers. Most …

Prompted by concurrent completion of the latest plant atlas for Britain and Ireland, the orchid
flora of these islands is reviewed in detail, focusing on 21st century progress in both …

The species in the genus Cypripedium (Orchidaceae) are considered endangered, mainly
distributed in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with high ornamental and …

Members of the orchid family occupy many germination niches, in terrestrial, epiphytic and
epilithic environments. How orchid seeds attach to their substrate and survive after dispersal …

Little is known about levels and patterns of genetic diversity for the entire range of
endangered orchids native to China, Korea, and Japan. In this study, we focus on …
