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 ...

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.

Comparative analyses of three complete Primula mitogenomes with insights into mitogenome size variation in Ericales [PDF]
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,

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 mitochondrial genome data of Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels [PDF]
Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels, an endemic Moroccan plant species from the Sapotaceae family, holds significant ecological, pharmaceutical, and socioeconomic value in the arid mid-western region. However, it is facing rapid degradation.

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 ...

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

Dataset on intergenic spacer sequences of the chloroplast genome and potential DNA barcodes of Adinandra glischroloma Hand.-Mazz. from Vietnam [PDF]
Adinandra glischroloma Hand.-Mazz. is a woody species of the genus Adinandra (Pentaphylacaceae), a taxonomic group in which species delimitation is often complicated by high morphological similarity. Moreover, genetic information for A.
