Integrating Morphology and Chloroplast Genomics: A New East Asian Species of <i>Aletris</i> (Nartheciaceae) With Insights Into Regional Phylogeny and Evolution. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBased 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 ...

Complete plastome sequences of 14 African yam species (Dioscorea spp.)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 Complete plastomes of 14 African yam species were reconstructed from whole genome sequencing. These plastomes sizes varied from 151,908 to 155,155 bp. We predicted 130 genes, including 18 duplicated genes located in the two inverted regions. Phylogenetic
