Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge has great potential for producing biodiesel. In order to select and evaluate appropriate germplasm to produce biodiesel, we analyzed the genetic diversity of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge germplasm based on morphological traits and simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in this study. Fifty-six germplasm samples were evaluated using nine morphological traits and 23 SSR loc...

Pistacia chinensis Bunge is dioecious. The female and male plants have different economic values. In addition to the large differences in floral organ shape on the outside, the male and female plants also have remarkable differences in ecological adaptability and physiological and biochemical characteristics. Thus, studying whether these differences in biological characteristics between male an...

The genetic structure of populations of closely related, sympatric species may hold the signature of the geographical mode of the speciation process. In fully allopatric speciation, it is expected that genetic differentiation between species is homogeneously distributed across the genome. In nonallopatric speciation, the genomes may remain undifferentiated to a large extent. In this article, we...
