Exploring the possible role of hybridization in the evolution of photosynthetic pathways in Flaveria (Asteraceae), the prime model of C4 photosynthesis evolution

The paper investigates hybridization's role in C4 photosynthesis evolution in Flaveria by analyzing transcriptome data and finding evidence of reticulation and hybrid origins in C4 species.

Nuclear and plastid phylogenomic analyses provide insights into the reticulate evolution, species delimitation and biogeography of the Sino-Japanese disjunctive Diabelia (Caprifoliaceae)

This study uses nuclear and plastid sequences to reconstruct the phylogeny of Diabelia, revealing hybridization, divergence times, and biogeographic patterns in the Sino-Japanese region.

Phylogenomic analyses of Alismatales shed light into adaptations to aquatic environments

This study uses phylogenomic analysis of Alismatales to investigate adaptations to aquatic environments and identify whole-genome duplication events.

Phylogenomic analyses using genomes and transcriptomes do not resolve relationships among major clades in Phrymaceae

This study uses genome and transcriptome data to analyze phylogenetic relationships in Phrymaceae, finding that major clades remain unresolved despite large-scale data.

On the hybrid origin of the C2 Salsola divaricata agg. (Amaranthaceae) from C3 and C4 parental lineages

A phylogenomic perspective on gene tree conflict and character evolution in Caprifoliaceae using target enrichment data, with Zabelioideae recognized as a new subfamily

This study uses target enrichment data to analyze phylogenetic conflicts in Caprifoliaceae, identifying ancient hybridization as a main source of discordance and recognizing Zabelioideae as a new subfamily.

Analysis of paralogs in target enrichment data pinpoints multiple ancient polyploidy events in Alchemilla s.l. (Rosaceae)

The paper develops an automated orthology inference method to detect ancient polyploidy events in Alchemilla s.l. by analyzing paralogs in target enrichment data.

Disentangling Sources of Gene Tree Discordance in Phylogenomic Datasets: Testing Ancient Hybridizations in Amaranthaceae s.l.

The paper investigates gene tree discordance in Amaranthaceae s.l. using multiple methods, finding that ancient hybridizations and rapid lineage diversification may contribute to the discordance.
