Backbone phylogeny and adaptive evolution of s. l.: New insights from phylogenomic analyses of complete plastome data.

is a taxonomically challenging taxon of Apiaceae, as its circumscription and composition remain controversial for morphological similarities with several related genera, leading to a dispute between in the broad sense and strict sense. While evidence from previous molecular studies recognized plural branching lineages within the s. l.

Phylogenetic position of (Apiaceae, Apioideae): evidence from molecular data and carpological characters.

(Apiaceae, Apioideae) is now considered to have an East-Asia and Sino-Himalaya distribution. The genus was not recognized as a natural and separate genus and was treated as a synonym of both in and since first established, though Pimenov have made many taxonomic revisions to , phylogenetic relationships between and have been in dispute. Thirty-four plastomes and 35 nrITS from Apioideae were analysed by RAxML and MrBayes to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships, along with carpology of 10 species and comparative analyses of 17 plastomes to investigate the evidence supporting the independence of .

Effects of Mountain Uplift and Climatic Oscillations on Phylogeography and Species Divergence of (Apiaceae).

Exploring the effects of orographic events and climatic shifts on the geographic distribution of organisms in the Himalayas-Hengduan Mountains (HHM) region and Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is crucial to understand the impact of environmental changes on organism evolution. To gain further insight into these processes, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of nine species distributed across the HHM and QTP regions. In total, 525 individuals from 56 populations of the nine species were analyzed based on three maternally inherited chloroplast fragments (, , and ) and one nuclear DNA region (internal transcribed spacer, ITS).

Out of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and rapid radiation across Eurasia for section (Amaryllidaceae).

The disjunctive distribution (Europe-Caucasus-Asia) and species diversification across Eurasia for the genus sect. has fascinating attractions for researchers aiming to understanding the development and history of modern Eurasia flora. However, no any studies have been carried out to address the evolutionary history of this section.

New insights into the phylogeny and taxonomy of Chinese (Apiaceae).

(Apiaceae) comprises about 10 species, but its taxonomy and phylogeny are disputed. The genus is mostly distributed in the Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains at high elevation. Earlier molecular studies involving six species of indicated that this genus is not monophyletic and is nested in the East Asia Clade.

New insights into the phylogeny of (Apiaceae, Apioideae) based on morphological and molecular data.

is a Sino-Himalayan endemic genus of Apiaceae and distributed in high-elevations from Nepal to SW China. In this study, morphological characteristics were combined with nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) intron sequences ( and ) to determine the phylogenetic placement of and the infrageneric relationships between five species. The results confirmed that was a polyphyletic group separated into two clades, and East Asia clades.

The complete chloroplast genome of (Apiaceae).

Wolff (Apiaceae) is a perennial species naturally distributed in Yunnan and Xizang. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was generated by assembly using whole-genome next-generation sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome of was 154,865 bp in total sequence length and divided into four distinct regions: small single-copy region (17,370 bp), large single-copy region (84,641 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,427 bp).

H. Wolff (Apiaceae, Apioideae) is a small genus mainly distributed in the Hengduan Mountains and the Himalayas. Ten species of have been described and nine species are distributed in China.

Comparative Analysis of the Complete Plastid Genome of Five Species and New Insights into DNA Barcoding and Phylogenetic Relationship.

L. (Apiaceae) is a perennial and herbal genus, most species of which have high medicinal value. However, few studies have been performed using plastome data in this genus, and the phylogenetic relationships have always been controversial.

The effect of Hengduan Mountains Region (HMR) uplift to environmental changes in the HMR and its eastern adjacent area: Tracing the evolutionary history of Allium section Sikkimensia (Amaryllidaceae).

Exploring the effects of orographic events and climatic shifts on geographic distribution of organism in the Hengduan Mountains Region (HMR) and its eastern adjacent area is crucial to the understanding of the environmental changes to organismal evolution. To gain further insight into these processes, we reconstruct evolutionary history of ten species in Allium section Sikkimensia, distributed across regions abovementioned. Using chloroplast and nuclear sequence variation of 79 populations of these ten Allium species with known morphological preferences, we elucidate the phylogenetic relationship, divergence time, ancestral area and genetic structures.
