Phylogenetic relationships among recently diverged species are often difficult to resolve due to insufficient phylogenetic signal in available markers and/or conflict among gene trees. Here we explore the use of reduced-representation genome sequencing, specifically in the form of restriction-site associated DNA (RAD), for phylogenetic inference and the detection of ancestral hybridization in n...

Abstract This is the first work of a series thorough studies into taxonomy and systematics Carex in South America. Here, we present systematic placement, biogeographic insights, taxonomic accounts, formal typifications summarized distributions for 24 species subgenus Vignea with androgynous spikes continent. We performed phylogenetic study using barcode markers ETS, ITS matK to check placement ...

The invasive fungal pathogen Cronartium ribicola causes white pine blister rust which is considered one of the most destructive diseases five-needle (white) pines in North America. disease has a life cycle that requires two hosts: and Ribes spp., although other non-Ribes species, including Castilleja Pedicularis, have been demonstrated as alternate hosts well. Detection this can be difficult be...
