Ancient hybridization and phylogenetic discordance: Exploring evolutionary complexity in Asteraceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 3, May-June 2026.
Abstract Premise Conflicting phylogenetic signals are common in plant phylogenomics and often reflect evolutionary histories shaped by processes like hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting, and whole‐genome duplication (WGD). We aimed to identify and assess these complex processes in the hyper‐diverse family Asteraceae to offer insight into the ...
