Plastomes on the edge: the evolutionary breakdown of mycoheterotroph plastid genomes
We examine recent evidence for ratchet‐like genome degradation in mycoheterotrophs,
plants that obtain nutrition from fungi. Initial loss of the NADH dehydrogenase‐like (NDH) …

Lemnaceae and Orontiaceae are phylogenetically and morphologically distinct from Araceae
Duckweeds comprise a distinctive clade of pleustophytic monocots that traditionally has
been classified as the family Lemnaceae. However, molecular evidence has called into …

Monocot plastid phylogenomics, timeline, net rates of species diversification, the power of multi‐gene analyses, and a functional model for the origin of monocots
Premise of the Study We present the first plastome phylogeny encompassing all 77 monocot
families, estimate branch support, and infer monocot‐wide divergence times and rates of …

A new carnivorous plant lineage (Triantha) with a unique sticky-inflorescence trap
Carnivorous plants consume animals for mineral nutrients that enhance growth and
reproduction in nutrient-poor environments. Here, we report that Triantha occidentalis …

[PDF][PDF] Phylogenomic analyses of Alismatales shed light into adaptations to aquatic environments
Land plants first evolved from freshwater algae, and flowering plants returned to water as
early as the Cretaceous and multiple times subsequently. Alismatales is the largest clade of …

Phylogenomic resolution of order-and family-level monocot relationships using 602 single-copy nuclear genes and 1375 BUSCO genes
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 …

Dynamic evolution and phylogenomic analysis of the chloroplast genome in Schisandraceae
B Li, Y Zheng - Scientific Reports, 2018 - nature.com
Chloroplast genomes of plants are highly conserved in both gene order and gene content,
are maternally inherited, and have a lower rate of evolution. Chloroplast genomes are …

Resolving the systematic positions of enigmatic taxa: manipulating the chloroplast genome data of Saxifragales
Accurately resolving the phylogeny of enigmatic taxa is always a challenge in phylogenetic
inference. Such uncertainties could be due to systematic errors or model violations. Here …
