Abstract Petrolamium crnojevicii gen. & sp. nov., a new distinct and remarkable monotypic genus of Lamiaceae, was discovered in the Dinaric karst southern Montenegro. This taxon exhibits unique combination morphological traits, including eglandular, mostly glabrous reniform leaves with 5–7 lobes prominent hydatodes at their tips. Its small pedicellate flowers feature included anthers styles within corolla tube, straight, narrow, emarginate to bifurcate posterior lip, an anterior lip entire, broadly elliptic‐oblong lateral lobes. The trigonous mericarps have truncated apex bear fatty tissue. Notably, has chromosome number 2 n = 32.

Northern Hemisphere forests changed drastically in the early Eocene with diversification of oak family (Fagaceae). Cooling climates over next 20 million years fostered spread temperate biomes that became increasingly dominated by oaks and their chestnut relatives. Here we use phylogenomic analyses nuclear plastid genomes to investigate timing pattern major macroevolutionary events ancient genome-wide signatures hybridization across Fagaceae. Innovation related seed dispersal is implicated triggering waves continental radiations beginning rapid lineages resulting unparalleled transformation forest dynamics within 15 following K-Pg extinction. We detect introgression at multiple time scales, including predating origination genus-level diversity. As moved into newly available habitats Miocene, secondary contact between previously isolated species occurred. This resulted adaptive introgression, which may have further amplified white Eurasia.

Abstract The advances accelerated by next‐generation sequencing and long‐read technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past decade, a large number of studies adopting hundreds thousands genes across wealth clades have emerged ushered phylogenetics evolution into new era. meantime, roadmap researchers when making decisions different approaches their phylogenomic research design is imminent. This review focuses on utility genomic data (from organelle genomes, both reduced representation whole‐genome sequencing) in evolutionary investigations, describes baseline methodology experimental analytical procedures, summarizes recent progress flowering phylogenomics at ordinal, familial, tribal, lower levels. We also discuss challenges, such as adverse impact orthology inference reconstruction raised from systematic errors, underlying biological factors, duplication, hybridization/introgression, incomplete lineage sorting, together suggesting that bifurcating tree may not be best model life. Finally, we promising avenues future studies.

Abstract Background Deep-branching phylogenetic relationships are often difficult to resolve because signals obscured by the long history and complexity of evolutionary processes, such as ancient introgression/hybridization, polyploidization, incomplete lineage sorting (ILS). Phylogenomics has been effective in providing information for resolving both deep- shallow-scale across all branches tree life. The olive family (Oleaceae) is composed 25 genera classified into five tribes with tribe Oleeae consisting four subtribes. Previous analyses showed that ILS and/or hybridization led incongruence family. It was essential distinguish signal conflicts, explore mechanisms uncertainties concerning family, especially at deep-branching nodes. Results We used whole plastid genome nuclear single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data infer assess variation rates among main clades also 2608 1865 orthologous genes Oleaceae subtribes Oleeae, respectively. Concatenated coalescence trees based on genome, SNPs multiple suggest events introgression during diversification Oleaceae. Additionally, there extreme heterogeneity substitution tribes. Furthermore, our results supported rather than ILS, factor discordance have originated via polyploidy, its most likely parentages ancestral Jasmineae or sister group, which a “ghost lineage,” Forsythieae. However, mainly responsible Oleeae. Conclusions This study showcases using sequence datasets (plastid genomes, thousands genes) diverse phylogenomic methods partition, heterogeneous models, quantifying branch lengths (QuIBL) analysis, species network analysis can facilitate untangling complex processes introgression, paleopolyploidization, ILS.

Abstract The Viridiplantae comprise two main clades, the Chlorophyta (including a diverse array of marine and freshwater green algae) Streptophyta (consisting charophytes land plants). Lineages sister to core Chlorophyta, informally refer as prasinophytes, form grade mainly planktonic algae. Recently, one these lineages, Prasinodermophyta, which is previously grouped with has been identified lineage both Streptophyta. Resolving deep relationships among plants crucial for understanding historical impact algal diversity on ecology geochemistry, but proven difficult given ancient timing diversification events. Through extensive taxon gene sampling, we conduct large-scale phylogenomic analyses resolve reveal Prasinodermophyta raising questions about necessity classifying distinct phylum. We unveil that incomplete sorting cause discordance regarding placement Prasinodermophyta. Molecular dating suggest crown-group date back Paleoproterozoic-Mesoproterozoic.
