Abstract: Abstract Complete chloroplast genomes of 17 samples from six species of Colocasia (Araceae) were sequenced, assembled, and aligned together with two previously reported complete genome sequences from taro (Colocasia esculenta). Analysis provides a well‐supported phylogenetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syae039
Abstract: Chloroplast capture, a phenomenon that can occur through interspecific hybridization and introgression, is frequently invoked to explain cytonuclear discordance in plants. However, relatively few studies have documented the mechanisms of cytonuclear coevolution and its potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjb-2025-0001
Abstract: Arctostaphylos uva-ursi inhabits circumboreal, alpine, and immediate coastal habitats while the center of diversity of Arctostaphylos is largely restricted to Mediterranean climates of the California Floristic Province. To discover its relationship to other Arctostaphylos species… read more here.
