Microsatellites occur in all plant genomes and provide useful markers for studies of genetic
diversity and structure. Chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSRs) are frequently targeted because …

We use the molecular data available for the plant genera currently distributed in the
Canaries to propose a hypothetical framework that updates the Surfing Syngameon …

The location and timing of domestication of the olive tree, a key crop in Early Mediterranean
societies, remain hotly debated. Here, we unravel the history of wild olives (oleasters), and …

Amomum villosum is an important medicinal and edible plant with several
pharmacologically active volatile oils. However, identifying A. villosum from A. villosum var …

To infer the role of natural selection in shaping standing genetic diversity, it is necessary to
assess the genomewide impact of demographic history on nucleotide diversity. In this study …

Some 1339 trees from 48 Pinus pinaster stands were characterized by five chloroplast
microsatellites, detecting a total of 103 distinct haplotypes. Frequencies for the 16 most …

Abstract Background and Aims It is widely accepted that hydraulic failure due to xylem
embolism is a key factor contributing to drought-induced mortality in trees. In the present …

While many species were confined to southern latitudes during the last glaciations, there
has lately been mounting evidence that some of the most cold‐tolerant species were …

Aim Our aims were to test whether morphological species of mountain pines were
genetically supported in the western part of the distribution range of the Pinus mugo species …

Aim Endemism in the flora of the Azores is high (33%) but in other respects, notably the
paucity of evolutionary radiations and the widespread distribution of most endemics, the …
