Largest genomic tree of life of flowering plants to date includes almost 8,000 genera

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A tree of life based on genes from across the nuclear genome and containing nearly 60% of all angiosperm genera unveils the complex evolutionary history of flowering plants. This tree both corroborates and challenges existing knowledge on angiosperm relationships and classification, and reveals two diversification surges, underpinned by many contrasting histories in individual plant lineages. Evolutionary tree of angiosperms reveals two major bursts of diversification.
