Abstract Erythropalum scandens (Erythropalaceae, Santalales) is a large liana distributed in
alluvial and riparian forests of Southeast Asia. Here we report and characterize the complete …

Different from the generally conserved plastomes (plastid genomes) of most land plants, the
Selaginellaceae plastomes exhibit dynamic structure, high GC content and high substitution …

Various factors, including taxon density, sampling error, convergence, and heterogeneity of
evolutionary rates, can potentially lead to incongruence between phylogenetic trees based …

Selaginellaceae have been shown to be monophyletic in previous studies, and include only
the single genus Selaginella. However, the two most recent classifications of the genus …

Abstract The East Asian endemic genus Rodgersia comprises five species and several
variants. These species exhibit variation in ploidy level and a fragmented distribution across …

Background Saussurea DC. is one of the largest and most morphologically heterogeneous
genera in Asteraceae. The relationships within Saussurea have been poorly resolved …

Species represent the most basic unit of taxonomy. As such, species delimitation represents
a crucial issue for biodiversity conservation. Taxonomic practices were revolutionized in the …

Saussurea is one of the largest genera of the tribe Cardueae of Asteraceae, comprising
about 460 species from the Northern Hemisphere with most species distributed in QTPss …

Abstract Staphyleaceae (DC.) Lindl., a small angiosperm family traditionally recognized as
containing 55–65 species in five genera, is distributed widely in the northern hemisphere of …

High genetic diversity and low differentiation present challenges in taxonomy and
systematics of Salix. Chloroplast (cp) genome sequencing is efficient for providing new …
