Plastid phylogenomic insights into the evolution of Caryophyllales
The Caryophyllales includes 40 families and 12,500 species, representing a large and diverse clade of angiosperms. Collectively, members of the clade grow on all continents and in all terrestrial biomes and often occupy extreme habitats (e.g., xeric, salty). The order is characterized by many taxa with unusual adaptations including carnivory,...Yao, Gang ; Jin, Jian-Jun ; Li, Hong-Tao ; Yang, Jun-Bo ; Mandala, Venkata …

Origin of angiosperms and the puzzle of the Jurassic gap
Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny based on 80 genes from 2,881 plastid genomes representing 85% of extant families and all orders. With a well-resolved plastid tree and 62 fossil calibrations, we dated the...Li, Hong-Tao ; Yi, Ting-Shuang ; Gao, Lian-Ming ; Ma, Peng-Fei ; Zhang, Ting …
