Phylogenomic use of low‐copy nuclear markers from genome skimming data: An example from Melastomataceae

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The emergence of conflicting signals among different genomic regions, individual genes, and inference methods has been frequently reported in phylogenomic studies. Conflicts can occur from methodological error and biological processes, and disentangling the contribution of each putative source of discordance became a major challenge.

Herbarium Specimens Provide Evidence for the Early Introduction of Erysiphe quercicola Into the United States and Document New Hosts

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe quercicola (Erysiphaceae) has a complex taxonomic history that has long complicated assessments of its geographic distribution and host associations. Although knowledge of the global host range of this species has expanded substantially over the past two decades, sequencing‐confirmed records from North ...

Widespread ancient whole genome duplications in Malpighiales coincide with Eocene global climatic upheaval [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2017
Abstract Ancient whole genome duplications (WGDs) are important in eukaryotic genome evolution, and are especially prominent in plants. Recent genomic studies from large vascular plant clades, including ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms suggest that WGDs may represent a crucial mode of speciation.

Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 1013-1031, April 2026.
Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...

Terniopsis chanthaburiensis (Podostemaceae), a new record for China and its complete plastid genome

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The genus Terniopsis consists of plants that have not been thoroughly studied, with many species remaining taxonomically unresolved. In this study, Terniopsis chanthaburiensis is reported as a new record of China based on morphological traits. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on genome skimming data.

Unraveling cryptic lineages in Jatropha nana: phylogenetic evidence supports species status for J. benghalensis (Euphorbiaceae)

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The taxonomic framework of the genus Jatropha (Euphorbiaceae) is well established, but its geophytic species present significant classification challenges. These difficulties arise from species complexes, cryptic traits, and high environmental and phenotypic variability.
