Genomic and ecological characterization of unclassified tetraploid Echinochloa plants distributed in northern Japan

Sep 2026 · bioRxiv · 0 citations
Biology

TL;DR

The findings indicate the possibility that hexaploid E. crus-galli may have originated from a tetraploid Echinochloa species other than E. oryzicola, and revealed that ninja possesses a distinct genomic composition, while showing close relationships to E. oryzicola in both its chloroplast and nuclear genomes.

Shared Pivotal Genome of European and South-American Polyploid Fescues (Festuca sp.) Uncovered by Comparative Cytogenetics.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Polyploidization is one of the major evolutionary forces in grasses (Poaceae), yet the genomic relationships between polyploid species across different continents remain poorly understood. Here, we aim to determine whether phylogenetically distinct South American allohexaploid fescues, Festuca uloch...

Comparative plastid genomics of five Ormosia species (fabaceae): insights into structural variation and morphological homoplasy

The results indicate that while the Ormosia plastomes retain the typical angiosperm quadripartite structure, they show a substantial expansion of the inverted repeat (IR) regions compared to the sister lineage of core genistoids (represented by Lupinus and Sophora), with the boundaries extending to the clpP gene.

Genomics and adaptive divergence of the allopolyploid grass Brachypodium hybridum in a pangenotypic framework

Br Brachypodium hybridum exemplifies how recurrent allopolyploidization, minimal subgenomic recombination, and environmental filtering generate and maintain genetic diversity, establishing it as a model for polyploid evolution and ecological adaptation in grasses worldwide.

Historical hybridization and asymmetric introgression in two sympatric species of Paepalanthus (Eriocaulaceae)

While interspecific hybridization is a recognized key driver of plant diversification in recently diverged lineages, the resulting introgression can generate complex patterns of genetic and morphological variation that often challenge the recognition of species boundaries. In Paepalanthus (Eriocaulaceae), intersp...

Allium erimomeli, a new hexaploid species of A. sect. Codonoprasum (Amaryllidaceae) from Milos and Antimilos Islands (Kiklades, Greece)

The recognition of Allium erimomeli as a distinct species emphasizes the significance of polyploidy and insular isolation in the diversification of A. Codonoprasum in the Aegean region and enhances the understanding of evolutionary relationships within the section.

THE COMPLETE CHLOROPLAST GENOME OF A MEDICINAL PLANT, Inula grandis (Asteraceae)

The genus Inula (Asteraceae) includes numerous medicinally important species, but phylogenetic relationships within the Inula complex remain difficult to resolve using morphological characters alone. In this study, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of Inula grandis using Illumina paired-end seq...
