Museomics reveal phylogeny of endangered Malagasy grasses
Poaceae is one of the most diverse families in Madagascar, but some lineages have not yet been assessed within a phylogenetic framework. This study focused on the threatened taxa of Chasechloa, historically associated...

Do sequence repeats undermine plastid genome stability?
Although a few plant lineages have lost one copy of the plastid genome (plastome) inverted repeat (IR), its near ubiquity among streptophytes has fostered speculation about its functional role and consequent...
Plastid phylogenomics of the cool-season grass subfamily: Clarification of relationships among early-diverging tribes
Whole plastid genomes (plastomes) are being sequenced rapidly from across the green plant tree of life, and phylogenetic analyses of these are increasing resolution and support for relationships that were unresolved in...
