Background With an ever-growing number of published genomes, many low levels of the
Tree of Life now contain several species with enough molecular data to perform shallow …

The genus Rosa comprises more than 150 species spread across three subgenera,
Hesperhodos, Hulthemia, and Rosa, most of which have high economic and ecological …

Background Detailed comparative genome analyses within the economically important
Rosaceae family have not been conducted. This is largely due to the lack of conserved gene …

Reticulation, caused by hybridization and allopolyploidization, is considered an important
and frequent phenomenon in the evolution of numerous plant lineages. Although both …

Angiosperm systematics has progressed to the point where it is now expected that multiple,
independent markers be used in phylogenetic studies. Universal primers for amplifying …

The Rosids is one of the largest groups of flowering plants, with 140 families and∼ 70,000
species. Previous phylogenetic studies of the rosids have primarily utilized organelle genes …

Rosa banksiae, known as Lady Banks' rose, is a perennial ornamental crop and a versatile
herb in traditional Chinese medicine. Given the lack of genomic resources, we assembled a …

Phylogenomics has become increasingly popular in recent years mostly due to the
increased affordability of next generation sequencing techniques. Phylogenomics has …

Resolving the phylogenetic relationships of closely related species using a small set of loci
is challenging as sufficient information may not be captured from a limited sample of the …

Roses are important woody plants featuring a set of important traits that cannot be
investigated in traditional model plants. Here, we used the restriction-site associated DNA …
