The structure and sequence of plastid genomes is highly conserved across most land plants,
except for a minority of lineages that show gene loss and genome degradation …

Recovering phylogenetic relationships in lineages experiencing intense diversification has
always been a persistent challenge in evolutionary studies, including in Gentiana section …

Background Plastome-scale data have been prevalent in reconstructing the plant Tree of
Life. However, phylogenomic studies currently based on plastomes rely primarily on …

The chloroplast (cp) genome is useful in the study of phylogenomics, molecular dating, and
molecular evolution. Gentiana sect. Kudoa is a predominantly alpine flowering plant that is …

Abstract Background Gentiana rigescens Franchet is an endangered medicinal herb from
the family Gentianaceae with medicinal values. Gentiana cephalantha Franchet is a sister …

Abstract Tribe Plantagineae (Plantaginaceae) comprises~ 270 species in three currently
recognized genera (Aragoa, Littorella, Plantago), of which Plantago is most speciose …

Plastid genomes have been widely applied to elucidate plant evolution at higher taxonomic
levels, but have rarely been considered useful for addressing close relationships. Here, we …

Geraniaceae are known for their unusual plastid genomes (plastomes), with the genus
Pelargonium being most conspicuous with regard to plastome size and gene organization …

Abstract Background Ampelopsideae J. Wen & ZL Nie is a small-sized tribe of Vitaceae
Juss., including ca. 47 species from four genera showing a disjunct distribution worldwide …

Gene duplication plays an important role in plants for diversification and adaptation to new
habitats. In this study, we aim to reconstruct the genome‐scale phylogeny and identify large …
