Plastome phylogenomic study of Gentianeae (Gentianaceae): widespread gene tree discordance and its association with evolutionary rate heterogeneity of plastid genes
Xu Zhang,Yanxia Sun,Jacob B. Landis,Jacob B. Landis,Zhenyu Lv,Jun Shen,Huajie Zhang,Nan Lin,Lijuan Li,Jiao Sun,Tao Deng,Hang Sun,Hengchang Wang +12 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the heterogeneity of nucleotide substitution rates and genetic characteristics among plastid genes providing new insights into plastome evolution, while highlighting the necessity of considering gene-tree discordance into phylogenomic studies based on plastsome-scale data.
Plastome phylogenomic study of Gentianeae (Gentianaceae): widespread gene tree discordance and its association with evolutionary rate heterogeneity of plastid genes
Xu Zhang,Yanxia Sun,Jacob B. Landis,Zhenyu Lv,Jun Shen,Huajie Zhang,Nan Lin,Lijuan Li,Jiao Sun,Tao Deng,Hang Sun,Hengchang Wang +11 more
TL;DR: This study revealed that just one (matK) of the three widely used plastid markers show high phylogenetic informativeness (PI) value, and suggested that the ribosomal protein and RPS genes and the RNA polymerase genes have higher substitution rates and genetic variations in Gentianeae.
Insights into the drivers of radiating diversification in biodiversity hotspots using Saussurea (Asteraceae) as a case
Xu Zhang,Jacob B. Landis,Jacob B. Landis,Yanxia Sun,Huajie Zhang,Tianjiao Feng,Nan Lin,Bashir Bolaji Tiamiyu,Xiu-Ying Huang,Tian Deng,Hengchang Wang,Hang Sun +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the role of abiotic and biotic factors in driving radiating diversification of Saussurea (Asteraceae) by deploying a number of time-dependent, paleoenvironment-dependent and trait-dependent models, as well as ecological distribution data.
Genomic insights into adaptation to heterogeneous environments for the ancient relictual Circaeaster agrestis (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales).
Xu Zhang,Yanxia Sun,Jacob B. Landis,Jacob B. Landis,Jian-Wen Zhang,Linsen Yang,Nan Lin,Huajie Zhang,Rui Guo,Lijuan Li,Yonghong Zhang,Tao Deng,Hang Sun,Hengchang Wang +13 more
TL;DR: The genome wide data provide new insights into the important role of environmental heterogeneity in shaping genetic structure, and access the footprints of local adaptation in an ancient relictual species, informing future conservation efforts.
Plastome Phylogenomic and Biogeographical Study on Thuja (Cupressaceae).
Kole F. Adelalu,Xu Zhang,Xiaojian Qu,Jacob B. Landis,Jacob B. Landis,Jun Shen,Yanxia Sun,Aiping Meng,Hang Sun,Hengchang Wang +9 more
TL;DR: Investigating the biogeographical disjunction of East Asian and North American flora is key to understanding the formation and dynamics of biodiversity in the Northern Hemisphere, and molecular dating and biogeographic results suggest the diversification of Thuja occurred in the Middle Miocene, and the ancestral area of extant species was located in northern East Asia.
