Integrating Morphology and Chloroplast Genomics: A New East Asian Species of Aletris (Nartheciaceae) With Insights Into Regional Phylogeny and Evolution

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Based on morphological and chloroplast phylogenomic analyses, we describe Aletris medogensis as a new species endemic to the eastern Himalayas. Comparative genomics revealed structural variations, hypervariable markers, and signatures of positive selection in key genes, providing robust evidence for species delimitation and insights into the ...

Island hopping, long‐distance dispersal and species radiation in the Western Indian Ocean: historical biogeography of the Coffeeae alliance (Rubiaceae) [PDF]

, 2017
AimThe Western Indian Ocean region (WIOR) is home to a very diverse and largely unique flora that has mainly originated via long‐distance dispersals. The aim of this study is to gain insight into the origins of the WIOR biodiversity and to understand the

Using comparative plastomics to identify potentially informative non-coding regions for basal angiosperms, with a focus on Illicium (Schisandraceae) [PDF]

, 2015
• Premise of study: Comparative plastomics provides a method for choosing the most informative tools for a given study group, often a difficult process due to limited available data for targeted taxa.

Can we rescue Centranthus (Caprifoliaceae: Valerianoideae) from the Valeriana sea? [PDF]

Centranthus is a small Mediterranean taxon that was recognized as a distinct genus throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, but initially and more recently was included in Valeriana.

Comparative Analysis of Chloroplast Genomes Reveals Phylogenetic Relationships and Variation in Chlorophyll Fluorescence In Vitis

Horticulturae
Grapes (Vitis spp.) are a globally significant fruit crop with a long history of cultivation and substantial cultivar diversity. Their high genetic differentiation and complex evolutionary history make them a valuable system for studying plant evolution.

Chloroplast Genome Characterization of Benthamiella Patagonica (Benthamielleae, Solanaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study presents the first complete chloroplast genome (155,570 bp) of Benthamiella patagonica, representing the early‐diverging tribe Benthamielleae within Solanaceae. Comparative genomic analyses revealed high structural similarity with other Solanaceae species, while phylogenetic reconstruction confirmed B.

The Complete Chloroplast Genome of Synotis solidaginea and Phylogenetic Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Species within the Asteraceae genus Synotis are difficult to accurately identify using traditional methods due to their highly similar morphology. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Synotis solidaginea was sequenced and comparatively analyzed.
