As the largest and the basal-most family of conifers, Pinaceae provides key insights into the
evolutionary history of conifers. We present comparative chloroplast genomics and analysis …

Pinus L. is the largest genus of conifers and provides a classical model for studying species
divergence and phylogenetic evolution by gymnosperms. However, our poor understanding …

Pinaceae, the largest family of conifers, has diversified organizations of chloroplast
genomes (cpDNAs) with the two typical inverted repeats (IRs) highly reduced. To unravel the …

Pinaceae, the largest family of conifers, has a diversified organization of chloroplast (cp)
genomes with two typical highly reduced inverted repeats (IRs). In the current study, we …

Uncertainties in the age and phylogenetic position of Pinaceae fossils present significant
obstacles to our understanding of the timing of diversification in the family. We demonstrate …

We used chloroplast DNA sequences from matK and rbcL to infer the phylogeny for 101 of
the approximately 111 species of Pinus (Pinaceae). At the level of subsection and above …

Pinaceae comprises 11 genera, and represents the largest family of conifers with an
extensive wild distribution in the Northern Hemisphere. Intergeneric relationships of …

The phylogeny of the genus Picea was investigated by sequencing three loci from the
paternally inherited chloroplast genome (trnK, rbcL and trnTLF) and the intron 2 of the …

The second intron in the mitochondrial gene nad1 was surveyed using PCR, DNA
sequencing, or Southern hybridization in 323 species (313 genera, 212 families) of seed …

The genus Pinus includes over 90 species with approximately 24 species native to Asia. We
have analyzed the chloroplast (cp) DNA variation of 18 Pinus species, including 15 Asian …
