Lectotypification of Cycas debaoensis (Cycadaceae) [PDF]
The type of Cycas debaoensis Y.C.Zhong & C.J.Chen (Y.C.Zhong 8762) consists of nine duplicates in PE. Our new investigation of the type collection suggests that the type includes at least two different gatherings which should be considered as ...

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Cycas hongheensis (Cycadaceae), an endemic species in the red river region of China [PDF]
In this study, we determined the complete chloroplast genome of Cycas hongheensis (Cycadaceae), one of the first-class protected plants in China. The chloroplast genome is 162,048 bp in length with 133 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, eight ...

Core Endophytic Bacteria and Their Roles in the Coralloid Roots of Cultivated Cycas revoluta (Cycadaceae) [PDF]
As a gymnosperm group, cycads are known for their ancient origin and specialized coralloid root, which can be used as an ideal system to explore the interaction between host and associated microorganisms. Previous studies have revealed that some nitrogen-

Towards the plastome evolution and phylogeny of Cycas L. (Cycadaceae): molecular-morphology discordance and gene tree space analysis [PDF]
Background Plastid genomes (plastomes) present great potential in resolving multiscale phylogenetic relationship but few studies have focused on the influence of genetic characteristics of plastid genes, such as genetic variation and phylogenetic ...

The Systematics and Evolution of Gymnosperms with an Emphasis on a Few Problematic Taxa [PDF]
Gymnosperms originated in the Middle Devonian and have experienced a long evolutionary history with pulses of speciation and extinction, which resulted in the four morphologically distinct extant groups, i.e., cycads, Ginkgo, conifers and gnetophytes ...

Geographic factors and climatic fluctuation drive the genetic structure and demographic history of Cycas taiwaniana (Cycadaceae), an endemic endangered species to Hainan Island in China [PDF]
Hainan Island had experienced several cold–warm and dry–humid fluctuations since the Late Pleistocene period, resulting in separating and connecting from the mainland several times with the cyclic rise and fall of sea level.
