Insights into the evolution of the chloroplast genome and the phylogeny of Begonia.
Begonia (Begoniaceae) is one of the largest angiosperm genera, comprising more than 2000 species; this makes it ideal as a model to investigate the genomic basis of species radiations. Here we present the results of the first genus-wide comparative study of plastid genome structure, sequence diversity, and phylogenetics of Begoniaceae,... -

Diversification Slowdown in the Cirrhopetalum Alliance (Bulbophyllum, Orchidaceae): Insights From the Evolutionary Dynamics of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism.
Evolutionary slowdowns in diversification have been inferred in various plant and animal lineages. Investigation based on diversification models integrated with environmental factors and key characters could provide critical insights into this diversification trend. We evaluate diversification rates in the alliance ( , Orchidaceae subfam. Epidendroideae) using a time-calibrated phylogeny and...Hu, Ai-Qun ; Gale, Stephan W. ; Liu, Zhong-Jian ; Fischer, Gunter A. ; Saunders, Richard M. K.

Plastome Evolution in the Hyperdiverse Genus Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae) Using Phylogenomic and Comparative Analyses: Large-Scale Expansion and Contraction of the Inverted Repeat Region.
With 2,000 species, is one of the largest angiosperm genera, yet a lack of chloroplast genome (plastome) resources impedes a better understanding of its evolution. In this study, we assembled and annotated 28 plastomes from Euphorbiaceae, of which 15 were newly sequenced. Phylogenomic and comparative analyses of 22 plastome sequences...
