Organellar data sets confirm overall angiosperm relationships if problematic RNA-edit sites are accounted for in mitochondrial genomes

Wesley K. Gerelle, Matthias Jost, Isabel Marques, D. H. Les, Rodrigo Vallejos, Stefan A. Little, Brandon T. Sinn, Dmitry D. Sokoloff, Terry Desmond Macfarlane, William J. D. Iles, Taylor S. Feild, Sarah Mathews, Michael J. Moore, Thomas L. P. Couvreur, Hervé Sauquet, , Sean W. Graham

The paper compares mitochondrial and plastid-based phylogenomic analyses in angiosperms, showing that removing RNA-edit sites from mitochondrial data improves congruence and supports key relationships.

Nuclear phylogenomics of grasses (Poaceae) supports current classification and reveals repeated reticulation

Grass Phylogeny Working Group III, Watchara Arthan, William J. Baker, Matthew David Barrett, Russell L. Barrett, Jeffrey Bennetzen, Guillaume Besnard, Matheus E. Bianconi, Joanne L. Birch, Pilar Catalán, Wenli Chen, Maarten J. M. Christenhusz, Pascal‐Antoine Christin, Lynn G. Clark, J. Travis Columbus, , Alexandre Rizzo Zuntini

This study constructs a nuclear phylogeny of grasses using genome-scale data, showing agreement with plastome phylogeny and evidence for repeated reticulation events.
