Phylogenetic relationships and molecular evolution of woody forest tree family Aceraceae based on plastid phylogenomics and nuclear gene variations.

The forest tree family Aceraceae is widespread in the northern hemisphere and it has ecological and economic importance. However, the phylogenetic relationships and classifications within the family are still controversial due to transitional intraspecific morphological characteristics and introgression hybridization among species. In this study, we determined the evolutionary relationships and molecular evolution of Aceraceae based on plastid phylogenomics and two nuclear gene variations.

Complete chloroplast genome of a Chinese endemic species Franch. (Papaveraceae).

Franch. is an endemic plant found in China. In this study, we presented the first complete chloroplast genome of which was assembled and characterized based on Illumina pair-end sequencing data.
