Background There are conflicting views between palaeobotanists and plant systematists/
evolutionary biologists regarding the occurrence of plant speciation in the Quaternary …

Abstract Premise Astragalus (Fabaceae), with more than 3000 species, represents a
globally successful radiation of morphologically highly similar species predominant across …

Premise of the Study The development of pipelines for locus discovery has spurred the use
of target enrichment for plant phylogenomics. However, few studies have compared …

A total of 93 species of Hedysarum from diverse biogeographic regions, in particular from
southwest Asia, were included in phylogenetic analyses using nuclear (ITS) and plastid …

The liquorice genus, Glycyrrhiza L.(Leguminosae), is a medicinal herb with great economic
importance and an intriguing intercontinental disjunct distribution in Eurasia, North Africa …

Universal angiosperm enrichment probe sets designed to enrich hundreds of putatively
orthologous nuclear single-copy loci are increasingly being applied to infer phylogenetic …

Leaf shape exhibits tremendous diversity in angiosperms. It has long been argued that leaf
shape can affect major physiological and ecological properties of plants and thus is likely to …

Abstract Central Asia, especially the Tian‐Shan and Pamir‐Alay, is a biodiversity hotspot for
Hedysarum (Fabaceae) with a high number of endemic species. However, to date, studies of …

We analysed 87 species of Onosma (Boraginaceae) from throughout its distribution range to
investigate its evolutionary history. Using nrDNA ITS and two plastid (rpl32‐trnL (UAG) and …

This study describes the new species Astragalus oksutdagensis (A. sect. Eustales) from
Kayseri, Turkey. The species is compared morphologically to the two similar species A …
