Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that colonize the interior of plant tissues (eg leaves,
seeds, stem, trunk, roots, fruits, flowers) in intracellular and/or extracellular spaces without …

The classical model of concerted evolution states that hundreds to thousands of ribosomal
DNA (rDNA) units undergo homogenization, making the multiple copies of the individual …

Cytoplasmic chloroplast (cp) genomes and nuclear ribosomal DNA (nR) are the primary
sequences used to understand plant diversity and evolution. We introduce a high …

The online resource http://www. plantrdnadatabase. com/stores information on the number,
chromosomal locations and structure of the 5S and 18S‐5.8 S‐26S (35S) ribosomal DNA s …

With the decreasing cost and availability of many newly developed bioinformatics pipelines,
next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized plant systematics in recent years …

Molecular herbal authentication has gained worldwide popularity in the past decade. DNA-
based methods, including DNA barcoding and species-specific amplification, have been …

Premise of the Study Both incomplete lineage sorting and reticulation have been proposed
as causes of phylogenetic incongruence. Disentangling these factors may be most difficult in …

Background Alpinia species are widely used as medicinal herbs. To understand the
taxonomic classification and plastome evolution of the medicinal Alpinia species and …

Mountains of the Balkan Peninsula are significant biodiversity hotspots with great species
richness and a large proportion of narrow endemics. Processes that have driven the …

Phylogenetic studies in the phylogenomics era have demonstrated that reticulate evolution
greatly impedes the accuracy of phylogenetic inference, and consequently can obscure …
