Phylogenetic analyses of Begonia sect. Coelocentrum and allied limestone species of China shed light on the evolution of Sino-Vietnamese karst flora
Kuo-Fang Chung,Wai-Chao Leong,Wai-Chao Leong,Rosario Rivera Rubite,Rimi Repin,Ruth Kiew,Yan Liu,Ching-I Peng +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that extensive and continuous karstification of the Sino-Vietnamese limestone region facilitated by the onset of East Asian monsoon since the late Miocene has been the major driving force for species accumulation via geographic isolation in Clade SVLB.

Universal primers for amplification and sequencing a noncoding spacer between the atpB and rbcL genes of chloroplast DNA
TL;DR: An evolutionary trend of increasing spacer size from liverworts, through mosses, to vascular plants is indicated and this atpB-rbcL spacer is AT-rich, consistent with other chloroplast noncoding spacers.

Chloroplast DNA phylogeography of Cunninghamia konishii (Cupressaceae), an endemic conifer of Taiwan
TL;DR: The phylogeographic pattern shown in the reconstructed network suggests that the present-day Cunninghamia populations in Taiwan were derived from six different sources in continental Asia via long-distance seed dispersal.
Chloroplast and nuclear DNA exchanges among Begonia sect. Baryandra species (Begoniaceae) from Palawan Island, Philippines, and descriptions of five new species
TL;DR: Five unknown species in the large genus Begonia are found in the Philippine island of Palawan and a majority of the species show incongruent positions in the two phylogenies, with evidence of prevalent chloroplast capture.
