As systematists grapple with assembling the Tree of Life, recent studies have encouraged a
genomic-scale approach, obtaining DNA sequence data for entire nuclear, plastid or …

This volume provides a comprehensive review of the family, Gentianaceae, covering
phylogeny, classification, biogeography, palynology, phytochemistry, and morphology, and also …

We present the results of two exploratory parsimony analyses of DNA sequences from 475
and 499 species of seed plants, respectively, representing all major taxonomic groups. The …

Introduction Darwin famously characterized the rapid rise and early diversification of flowering
plants (angiosperms) in the fossil record as an “abominable mystery.” Identifying genomic …

… Albert and Bremer, 1993), which comprise 370 sites for 13 terminals. MEGA’s neighbor-…
Albert et al. (1992) used more extensive branchswapping for their 100-terminal matrix, and this …

Polyploidy has long been recognized as a major force in angiosperm evolution. Recent
genomic investigations not only indicate that polyploidy is ubiquitous among angiosperms, but …

Through multifaceted genome-scale research involving phylogenomics, targeted gene
surveys, and gene expression analyses in diverse basal lineages of angiosperms, our studies …

Vascular plants appeared ~410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of
which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We …

Genomic comparisons provide evidence for ancient genome-wide duplications in a diverse
array of animals and plants. We developed a birth–death model to identify evidence for …

Coffee is a valuable beverage crop due to its characteristic flavor, aroma, and the stimulating
effects of caffeine. We generated a high-quality draft genome of the species Coffea …
