With the development of molecular sequencing approaches, many taxonomic and phylogenetic problems of the genus L. have been solved; however, the phylogenetic relationships of some subgenera or sections, such as section , remain unresolved, which has greatly impeded our full understanding of the species relationships among the major clades of . In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of nine species in the sect.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFA novel CaInSwith three-dimensional octahedral nano-blocks (ONBs) are successfully synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate by a simple hydrothermal method. The CaInSONBs are uniform grown and scattered on the whole FTO substrate with high regular and symmetric morphology as well as average diagonal length of about 600 nm. Based on the as-synthesized CaInSONBs, a photodetector (PD) is fabricated.

However, previous studies detected distinct incongruence between the nrDNA and cpDNA phylogenies, and the interspecies relationships of this subgenus need to be furtherly resolved.

The chloroplast genome in angiosperms has showed useful for investigating plant evolution and systematic studies.
Objective: Comparative analysis of these genomes revealed potential markers and phylogenetic analysis, and discuss the influence of positive selected sites on adaptive evolution.
Allium L. is one of the largest monocotyledonous genera with extensive distribution in the Northern Hemisphere. The fundamental phylogenies of Allium have been investigated using many morphological and molecular characters.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe genus (Amaryllidaceae, Allioideae) is one of the largest monocotyledonous genera and it includes many economically important crops that are cultivated for consumption or medicinal uses. Recent advances in molecular phylogenetics have revolutionized our understanding of taxonomy and evolution. However, the phylogenetic relationships in some sections (such as the section ) and the genetic bases of adaptative evolution, remain poorly understood.
