Potential allopolyploid origin of Ericales revealed with gene-tree reconciliation [PDF]
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.

Plastome structure and phylogenetic relationships of Styracaceae (Ericales) [PDF]
Background The Styracaceae are a woody, dicotyledonous family containing 12 genera and an estimated 160 species. Recent studies have shown that Styrax and Sinojackia are monophyletic, Alniphyllum and Bruinsmia cluster into a clade with an approximately ...

Plastid Genome Evolution Across the Roridulaceae-Sarraceniaceae Clade (Ericales) in Relation to Carnivorous Strategies. [PDF]
The Roridulaceae–Sarraceniaceae clade exhibits strikingly divergent carnivorous strategies, providing a framework to examine how trophic shifts influence plastid genome evolution. Comparative plastome analyses reveal recurrent ndh gene disruption across species, while Roridula gorgonias shows pronounced genomic restructuring, including elevated ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Vaccinium oldhamii Miquel, a plant of the Ericaceae family [PDF]
Vaccinium oldhamii Miquel 1866 is a deciduous shrub native to Northeast Asia, including Korea, China, and Japan. Its polyphenol-rich edible berries may aid in managing chronic diseases.

Longevity in plants impacts phylogenetic and population dynamics. [PDF]
Summary Phylogenies of long‐lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene‐tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We examine this with simulations and through empirical examination of several large seed plant clades.

The Distribution and Phylogeny of Aluminium Accumulating Plants in the Ericales [PDF]
Abstract: The distribution of aluminium (Al) accumulation in the Ericales is surveyed, based on semi‐quantitative tests of 114 species and literature data. Al accumulation mainly characterises the families Diapensiaceae, Pentaphylacaceae, Symplocaceae, Ternstroemiaceae, and Theaceae.

Five new synonyms in Impatiens (Ericales, Balsaminaceae) from China [PDF]
Species of Impatiens L. on the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau show exceptionally high diversity, but inadequate early regional surveys have led to persistent taxonomic ambiguity.

A chromosome-scale genome of Sarracenia purpurea reveals a significant expansion of plant defense and stress response gene families following paleopolyploidization. [PDF]
Abstract Plant carnivory evolved through gene co‐option and whole genome duplications (WGDs) over millions of years in at least 13 independent flowering plant lineages, but its genetic mechanisms remain largely unknown. To elucidate these mechanisms in Sarraceniaceae, we sequenced and assembled the Sarracenia purpurea genome and conducted a comparative

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Enkianthus perulatus (Miq.) C.K.Schneid. (Ericaceae) [PDF]
Enkianthus perulatus (Miq.) C.K.Schneid. is a popular ornamental plant in Japan, for which the chloroplast genome has not been previously reported. Its complete chloroplast genome was therefore determined, using a high-throughput sequencing technique ...
