An updated phylogeny and adaptive evolution within Amaranthaceae s.l. inferred from multiple phylogenomic datasets. [PDF]
Our results strongly demonstrated that Amaranthaceae s.l. was clustered with monophyletic traditional Chenopodiaceae (Clades I and II) and Amaranthaceae s.s. based on multiple phylogenomic datasets. Phylogenetic analysis of adaptive evolution showed that positively selected genes played a driving role in the evolutionary direction of Amaranthaceae s.l.

Sand dune stabilization changes the vegetation characteristics and soil seed bank and their correlations with environmental factors [PDF]
Currently the amount of data available on the effect of sand dune stabilization on species conservation in inter-dune lowland is very limited, especially for the sand dune systems in semi-arid regions.

Phylogeny and morphological evolution of the Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae alliance [PDF]
Phylogenetic analysis of plastid encoded ndhF coding sequences for the Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae alliance reveals a monophyletic Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae clade sister to Achatocarpaceae. The Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae-Achatocarpaceae clade is in
