Comparative analyses of three complete Primula mitogenomes with insights into mitogenome size variation in Ericales [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Although knowledge of the sizes, contents, and forms of plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) is increasing, little is known about the mechanisms underlying their structural diversity. Evolutionary information on the mitogenomes of Primula,

Potential allopolyploid origin of Ericales revealed with gene-tree reconciliation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Few incidents of ancient allopolyploidization (polyploidization by hybridization or merging diverged genomes) were previously revealed, although there is significant evidence for the accumulation of whole genome duplications (WGD) in plants.

Phylogenetic inference of Ericales based on plastid genomes and implication of cp-SSRs
BioTechnologia, 2021 Ericales is an ancient eudicot order encompassing numerous species of economic and ornamental values. Despite several phylogenomic studies, the evolutionary relationship among certain families of this group remains uncertain. The present study assessed a

Molecular Phylogenomics Reveals the Deep Evolutionary History of Carnivory across Land Plants [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Plastid molecular phylogenies that broadly sampled angiosperm lineages imply that carnivorous plants evolved at least 11 times independently in 13 families and 6 orders.
