Genome-scale data and the development of novel statistical phylogenetic approaches have
greatly aided the reconstruction of a broad sketch of the tree of life and resolved many of its …

The advances accelerated by next‐generation sequencing and long‐read sequencing
technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past …

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

Background A robust molecular phylogeny is fundamental for developing a stable
classification and providing a solid framework to understand patterns of diversification …

An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) classification of the orders and
families of angiosperms is presented. Several new orders are recognized: Boraginales …

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

INTRODUCTION Access to nutrients such as nitrogen is required for plant growth. Legumes
and nine additional plant families benefit from the nitrogen-fixing root nodule (NFN) …

Constituting approximately 10% of flowering plant species, orchids (Orchidaceae) display
unique flower morphologies, possess an extraordinary diversity in lifestyle, and have …

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

Abstract The Para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an economically important tropical tree
species that produces natural rubber, an essential industrial raw material. Here we present a …
