Article Synopsis
  • * This study uses complete chloroplast genome sequences and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from genome resequencing to analyze 116 Ilex accessions and construct phylogenetic trees.
  • * The resulting phylogenetic trees from chloroplast genomes and nuclear SNPs show significant differences, with chloroplast DNA identifying eight major clades and SNP data revealing seven, suggesting a complex evolutionary history influenced by hybridization and lineage sorting.

, a new tetraploid fern species of the complex (Aspleniaceae) from Jiulianshan National Nature Reserve, southern Jiangxi, China is described and illustrated. We inferred the phylogenetic position of the new species based on sequences from seven plastid markers (, , , , , , and ) and one low-copy nuclear gene, . The plastid phylogeny supported a close relationship among the new species , , and , while the nuclear phylogeny differed in topology from the plastid tree.

Background: Ilex (Aquifoliaceae) are of great horticultural importance throughout the world for their foliage and decorative berries, yet a dearth of genetic information has hampered our understanding of phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history. Here, we compare chloroplast genomes from across Ilex and estimate phylogenetic relationships.

Results: We sequenced the chloroplast genomes of seven Ilex species and compared them with 34 previously published Ilex plastomes.
