We assess relationships among 192 species in all 12 monocot orders and 72 of 77 families,
using 602 conserved single-copy (CSC) genes and 1375 benchmarking single-copy …

Past phylogenetic studies of the monocot order Alismatales left several higher‐order
relationships unresolved. We addressed these uncertainties using a nearly complete genus …

Premise Phylogenetic trees of bryophytes provide important evolutionary context for land
plants. However, published inferences of overall embryophyte relationships vary …

Fully mycoheterotrophic plants can be difficult to place in plant phylogeny due to elevated
substitution rates associated with photosynthesis loss. This potentially limits the …

Mycoheterotrophy is an alternative nutritional strategy whereby plants obtain sugars and
other nutrients from soil fungi. Mycoheterotrophy and associated loss of photosynthesis have …

Background To illustrate the molecular mechanism of mycoheterotrophic interactions
between orchids and fungi, we assembled chromosome-level reference genome of …

Premise Pogoniopsis likely represents an independent photosynthesis loss in orchids. We
use phylogenomic data to better identify the phylogenetic placement of this fully …

The enigmatic monocot family Triuridaceae provides a potentially useful model system for
studying the effects of an ancient loss of photosynthesis on the plant plastid genome, as all …

Mycoheterotrophic plants have lost photosynthesis and obtain carbon through mycorrhizal
fungi colonizing their roots. They are likely to have evolved from mixotrophic ancestors …

How mycoheterotrophic plants that obtain carbon and soil nutrients from fungi are integrated
in the usually mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal networks is unknown. Here, we compare …
