Whole-genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, is a major evolutionary force throughout the tree of life. Ancient WGDs are commonly inferred from the distribution of synonymous substitutions per synonymous site (Ks) between duplicated genes. Here, we argue that the standard interpretation of these distributions is inco...

We present here a revision of the APG classification that considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of the APG classification were largely based on uniparentally inherited markers (plastid DNA, typically maternally inherited)...

The angiosperm order Rosales still represents a major challenge for phylogenetic reconstruction. Although its circumscription is now well-defined, phylogenetic relationships among families are still uncertain. Here, we used nuclear, plastid, and mitochondrial genomic data from 33 species representing all nine families...
