Explaining how plants from eastern Asia migrated to other Northern Hemisphere regions is
still challenging. The genus Sorbus sensu stricto (including c. 88 species) is considered as a …

Cherries (subg. Cerasus) belong to Prunus sl (Rosaceae) and are widely distributed in
temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given its ornamental and …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and adjacent regions comprise an excellent
mountainous system to study plant diversification and speciation within East Asia. The uplift …

The systematic circumscription of Sorbus has remained unresolved because of hybridization
and polyploidy. To reconstruct the phylogeny of Sorbus, we sequenced the nuclear …

The four-subfamily subdivision of Rosaceae has been recently replaced by a three-
subfamily scheme. The re-circumscribed Rosoideae lacks a solid and well-resolved …

The phylogeny of Brassaiopsis (Araliaceae), a morphologically diverse and widely
distributed genus in Asia, was estimated based on sequences of the internal transcribed …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibetan plateau (QTP) uplift had a decisive effect on climatic and eco-
environmental evolution in East Asia during the Quaternary. In the current study …

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 …
