Molecular phylogeny and inflorescence evolution of (Rosaceae) based on RAD-seq and genome skimming analyses.

is an economically important genus widely distributed in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Previous studies on the genus using a variety of loci yielded conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses. Here, we generated nuclear reduced representation sequencing data and plastid genomes for 36 individuals and two outgroups.

Phylogenomics, plastome structure and species identification in Mahonia (Berberidaceae).

Background: Elucidating the phylogenetic relationships within species-rich genera is essential but challenging, especially when lineages are assumed to have been going through radiation events. Mahonia Nutt. (Berberidaceae) is a genus with cosmopolitan distribution, comprising approximately 100 species, two of which are known as Caulis Mahoniae (M.
