Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the phylogenetic relationships between two related genera within the Sapotaceae family, which includes economically important species like the miracle berry.
- The research utilizes nuclear and chloroplast DNA data, applying Bayesian analyses and Maximum likelihood methods to build phylogenetic trees that reveal six clades.
- Findings indicate that the two genera are closely related and question the validity of their current classification, as one genus appears to be polyphyletic, highlighting the need for a reevaluation of all species in these genera.
