The plastid and mitochondrial genomes of <i>Vavilovia Formosa</i> (Stev.) Fed. and the phylogeny of related legume genera by N. V. Shatskaya, V. S. Bogdanova, O. E. Kosterin, G. V. Vasiliev, A. K. Kimeklis, E. E. Andronov, N. A. Provorov

“…As was expected, the V. formosa branch proved to be sister to the Pisum branch, and the tribe Fabeae was monophyletic. The position of Trifolium L. appeared sensitive to the phylogeny reconstruction method, either clustering with Fabeae or with the genera Medicago L., Trigonella L. and Melilotus Mill., but the internodes between successive divergences were short in all cases, suggesting that the radiation of Trifolium, other Trifolieae and Fabeae was fast, occurring within a small time interval as compared to further evolution of these lineages. …”

The Role of Host‐Range Expansion and Co‐Speciation in Host–Parasite Associations With the Divergence of the Great Tit Species Complex by Xi Huang, Vincenzo A. Ellis, Yangyang Peng, Farah Ishtiaq, Haitao Wang, Wei Liang, Qiang Wu, Staffan Bensch, Lu Dong

“…Lineages detected in different host species presented a strong geographical signal but did not form monophyletic groups. Yet, distributions of lineages are not merely the result of their dispersal limitations, as many lineages that infect only one focal species can be found in birds sympatric with other focal species. …”

Complete chloroplast genome of eight Phaius (Orchidaceae) species from China: comparative analysis and phylogenetic relationship by Kaifeng Tao, Lu Tang, Yan Luo, Lu Li

“…The phylogenetic analysis based on CDS from 49 complete cp genomes of Collabieae indicated that the eight Phaius species, together with other two species P. philippinensis and P. hainanensis, were clustered into a monophyletic clade among Calanthe s. l. and divided into two subclades with strong supports. …”

Phytophthora: an ancient, historic, biologically and structurally cohesive and evolutionarily successful generic concept in need of preservation by Clive Brasier, Bruno Scanu, David Cooke, Thomas Jung

“…Currently some 200 species are distributed across twelve major clades in a relatively tight monophyletic cluster. In our assessment of 196 species for twenty morphological and behavioural criteria the clades show good biological cohesion. …”

A recent large-scale intraspecific IR expansion and evolutionary dynamics of the plastome of Peucedanum japonicum by Ho Jun Joh, Young Sang Park, Jong-Soo Kang, Jin Tae Kim, Jickerson P. Lado, Sang Il Han, Young-Won Chin, Hyun-Seung Park, Jee Young Park, Tae-Jin Yang

“…Plastome-based phylogenetic analysis showed that the PJ accessions were monophyletic within the genus Peucedanum. However, ten plastomes were classified into two different groups according to their length of inverted repeat (IR) block, the short-type (S-type) plastome group containing the 18.6 kbp of the original IR and the long-type (L-type) plastome group containing the 35.7 kbp of expanded IR by duplication of the 17.1 kbp of the large single copy region. …”

Comparative genomics reveals low levels of inter- and intraspecies diversity in the causal agents of dwarf and common bunt of wheat and hint at conspecificity of Tilletia caries an... by Somayyeh Sedaghatjoo, Bagdevi Mishra, Monika K. Forster, Yvonne Becker, Jens Keilwagen, Berta Killermann, Marco Thines, Petr Karlovsky, Wolfgang Maier

“…Although the genomes of the three species are very similar, employing 241 single copy genes T. controversa was phylogenetically distinct from T. caries and T. laevis, however these two could not be resolved as individual monophyletic groups. This was in line with the genome-wide number of single nucleotide polymorphisms and small insertions and deletions. …”
