In the past few decades, many investigations in the field of plant biology have employed
selectively neutral, multilocus, dominant markers such as inter‐simple sequence repeat …

• Premise of the study: Noncoding chloroplast DNA (NC‐cpDNA) sequences are the staple
data source of low‐level phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies of angiosperms. We …

Reconstructing the phylogeny of Pyrus has been difficult due to the wide distribution of the
genus and lack of informative data. In this study, we collected 110 accessions representing …

Abstract Background and Aims Lizard orchids of the genus Himantoglossum include many
of Eurasia's most spectacular orchids, producing substantial spikes of showy flowers …

Next-generation sequencing technology has increased the capacity to generate molecular
data for plant biological research, including phylogenetics, and can potentially contribute to …

Molecular evolutionary rate heterogeneity—the violation of a molecular clock—is a
prominent feature of many phylogenetic data sets. It has particular importance to …

Given the low intraspecific chloroplast diversity detected in northern red oak (Quercus rubra
L.), more powerful genetic tools are necessary to accurately characterize Q. rubra …

The genus Fragaria encompasses species at ploidy levels ranging from diploid to decaploid.
The cultivated strawberry, Fragaria× ananassa, and its two immediate progenitors, F …

• Premise of the study: Previous phylogenetic studies of moonworts (Botrychium sensu
stricto (ss)) included few taxa from outside of North America. This low geographical …

Pyrus betulaefolia Bunge, considered as an intermediate between oriental and occidental
pear groups, is one of the most important wild pear species. The number of its populations is …
