We use the restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) data to explore the phylogenetic conflict in Stewartia s.l., a clade of about 25 species of shrubs and small trees of tea family (Theace
Full plastome sequences for land plants have become readily accessible thanks to the development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques and powerful bioinformatic tools. Despite this vast amou
The shrub genus Campylotropis (Fabaceae, trib. Desmodieae, subtrib. Lespedezinae), encompasses approximately 40 species, predominantly distributed across temperate and subtropical East Asia, with its
Plastids are one of the main distinguishing characteristics of the plant cell. The plastid genome (plastome) of most autotrophic seed plants possesses a highly conserved quadripartite structure contai
Reticulate evolution (RE), involving hybridization and related processes, generates network-like rather than strictly bifurcating relationships among lineages and can obscure phylogenetic relationship
