Refining generic limits in Hyacinthinae (Asparagaceae, Scilloideae): Conflict and concordance between morphology and phylogenomics

Hannah Hall, John David, Kálmán Könyves, Alastair Culham

Abstract The Eurasian and North African Asparagaceae subtribe Hyacinthinae Parl. comprises 15–21 genera of mostly spring‐flowering bulbs with great diversity in the Mediterranean. Many genera are horticulturally important, notably hyacinths, grape hyacinths, and squills. Understanding of relationships among these genera remains limited, …

A global phylogenetic framework for Diospyros L. (Ebenaceae, Ericales): enhanced taxon and sample coverage through NGS, Sanger sequencing and herbariomics

Nattanon Meeprom, Alexander G. Linan, Sutee Duangjai, Carmen Puglisi et autres

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Diospyros (∼700 species) is a pan-tropical genus with centres of diversity in poorly studied areas. Fragmented regional classifications have led to confusion in the understanding of this economically important tropical genus. With <20 % of species and only six …

The origin and diversification of Amaryllidaceae: A phylogenetic and biogeographic analysis

Zoe Dennehy-Carr, Kálmán Könyves, Chris Yesson, J. C. David et autres

PREMISE: Previous angiosperm-wide studies estimated that the geophytic family Amaryllidaceae diverged in Africa 87.00-46.77 million years ago (mya), spanning the Cretaceous and Palaeogene periods, including multiple important climatic and geological events. Greater precision on when and where this divergence occurred is lacking …

Phylogenomic incongruence gives new perspectives on the taxonomic complexity of Muscari s.l. (Asparagaceae, Scilloideae)

H. S. Hall, Jordan Bilsborrow, J. C. David, Ayten Dizkırıcı et autres

Abstract Muscari s.l. (Asparagaceae, Scilloideae) is a widespread genus of bulbous geophytes native to the Mediterranean, the Middle East and into the Caucasus. Based on inflorescence and floral morphology, four distinct groups have long been recognised and treated as either genera ( …

An investigation of large-leaved Gunnera L. (Gunneraceae) grown outside in Britain and Ireland

Dawn Edwards, James M. Armitage, Jordan Bilsborrow, J. C. David et autres

A molecular investigation of large-leaved Gunnera growing outside in Britain and Ireland was conducted. Two low-copy nuclear CYCLOIDEA-like genes (CYC-like 1 and CYC-like 2) and two chloroplast DNA regions (matK and psbD-trnT) were sequenced for 271 samples of Gunnera. While it was …

The genome sequence of the apple, Malus domestica (Suckow) Borkh., 1803

Kálmán Könyves, Sahr Mian, Jennifer Johns

We present genome assemblies from four Malus domestica cultivars (the apple; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Rosales; Rosaceae). The genome sequences are 643–653 megabases in span. The greater part of each assembly length (99.24–99.74%) is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genomes …

Comparative plastomics of Amaryllidaceae: inverted repeat expansion and the degradation of the ndh genes in Strumaria truncata Jacq.

Kálmán Könyves, Jordan Bilsborrow, Maria D. Christodoulou, Alastair Culham et autres

Amaryllidaceae is a widespread and distinctive plant family contributing both food and ornamental plants. Here we present an initial survey of plastomes across the family and report on both structural rearrangements and gene losses. Most plastomes in the family are of similar …

The complete plastome of the South African species, Amaryllis belladonna L. (Amaryllidaceae)

Zoe Dennehy-Carr, Jordan Bilsborrow, Alastair Culham, J. C. David et autres

The complete plastome sequence of Amaryllis belladonna L. is assembled and annotated. This is the type species of Amaryllis and therefore the type of the family Amaryllidaceae and as such, is important to document the phylogenetic position of the family. The plastome …
