The Streptophyta emerged about a billion years ago. Nowadays, this branch of the green
lineage is most famous for one of its clades, the land plants (Embryophyta). While …

Plastid molecular phylogenies that broadly sampled angiosperm lineages imply that
carnivorous plants evolved at least 11 times independently in 13 families and 6 orders …

Obtaining a robust phylogeny proves challenging due to the intricate evolutionary history of
species, where processes such as hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting can …

Mulberries (genus Morus), belonging to the order Rosales, family Moraceae, are important
woody plants due to their economic values in sericulture, as well as for nutritional benefits …

Conifers are an ecologically and economically important seed plant group that can provide
significant insights into the evolution of land plants. Molecular phylogenetics has developed …

Despite the overarching history of species divergence, phylogenetic studies often reveal
distinct topologies across regions of the genome. The sources of these gene tree …

Climate change-induced hazards, such as drought, threaten forest resilience, particularly in
vulnerable regions such as the Mediterranean Basin. Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton), a …

Grasses (Poaceae) comprise around 11,800 species and are central for human livelihoods
and terrestrial ecosystems. Knowing their relationships and evolutionary history is key to …

Phenotypic differences between species are largely driven by changes in both protein-
coding sequence and gene expression. The evolutionary history of angiosperms (flowering …

High-throughput sequencing technologies (Next Generation Sequencing; NGS) are
