A comprehensive checklist of the deciduous photinia genus Pourthiaea (Maleae, Rosaceae), with emphasis on their validity and typification [PDF]
Due to the complicated evolutionary history in Pourthiaea, ninety-seven taxa have been described since 1784, and ninety-one of them are validly published taxa, five are naked names, and one is an invalid name.

The identification of the Rosa S-locus and implications on the evolution of the Rosaceae gametophytic self-incompatibility systems [PDF]
In Rosaceae species, two gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) mechanisms are described, the Prunus self-recognition system and the Maleae (Malus/Pyrus/Sorbus) non-self- recognition system.

Synthesis of Nuclear and Chloroplast Data Combined With Network Analyses Supports the Polyploid Origin of the Apple Tribe and the Hybrid Origin of the Maleae—Gillenieae Clade [PDF]
Plant biologists have debated the evolutionary origin of the apple tribe (Maleae; Rosaceae) for over a century. The “wide-hybridization hypothesis” posits that the pome-bearing members of Maleae (base chromosome number x = 17) resulted from a ...

Malus includes Docynia (Maleae, Rosaceae): evidence from phylogenomics and morphology [PDF]
Docynia has been treated as a separate genus or merged into Cydonia or Docyniopsis. Our phylogenomic evidence from 797 single-copy nuclear genes and plastomes confirmed the sister relationship between Docynia and Docyniopsis.

Phylogeny of Maleae (Rosaceae) Based on Complete Chloroplast Genomes Supports the Distinction of Aria, Chamaemespilus and Torminalis as Separate Genera, Different from Sorbus sp. [PDF]
Several genera formerly contained within the genus Sorbus L. sensu lato have been proposed as separate taxa, including Aria, Chamaemespilus and Torminalis. However, molecular evidence for such distinctions are rather scarce.

Phylogeny of genera in Maleae (Rosaceae) based on chloroplast genome analysis [PDF]
In Rosaceae, the replacement of the traditional four-subfamily division (Amygdaloideae or Prunoideae, Maloideae, Rosoideae, and Spiraeoideae) by the three-subfamily division (Dryadoideae, Rosoideae, and Amygdaloideae), the circumscription, systematic ...

Refining the phylogeny and taxonomy of the apple tribe Maleae (Rosaceae): insights from phylogenomic analyses of 563 plastomes and a taxonomic synopsis of Photinia and its allies in the Old World [PDF]
This study addresses the longstanding absence of a comprehensive phylogenetic backbone for the apple tribe Maleae, a deficiency attributed to limited taxon and marker sampling.

Molecular phylogenetics of Micromeles (Rosaceae: Maleae): implications for taxonomy [PDF]
Background Micromeles Decne., belonging to the tribe Maleae of the family Rosaceae, has a complicated taxonomic history. It was either recognized as a distinct genus in the broad sense (Micromeles s.l.), or in the restricted sense (Micromeles s.s.), or ...

Eriobotrya Belongs to Rhaphiolepis (Maleae, Rosaceae): Evidence From Chloroplast Genome and Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Data [PDF]
The Eriobotrya-Rhaphiolepis (ER) clade consists of about 46 species distributed in East and Southeast Asia. Although Eriobotrya and Rhaphiolepis have been supported to form a clade, the monophyly of Eriobotrya and Rhaphiolepis at the genus level has ...

Reassessing the Evolutionary Relationships of Eriobotrya and Rhaphiolepis (Rosaceae): Evidence from Micromorphology, Complete Nuclear Ribosomal DNA and Mitochondrial Genomic Data [PDF]
Eriobotrya and Rhaphiolepis are two closely related genera within the Maleae tribe of Rosaceae, and delineation of the boundary between these genera requires clarification.
