Show abstract
In this comprehensive study, we conducted extensive taxon sampling and performed phylogenomic analyses based on plastome and nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) datasets. We employed multiple inference methods, including concatenated and coalescent-based strategies, to generate an accurate phylogeny of the woody Rosaceae genus Pourthiaea. The nrDNA phylogeny of Pourthiaea strongly supported three major clades, which were consistent with morphology. However, the plastid tree provided an alternative phylogenetic topology, indicating cytonuclear discordance. Frequent hybridizations between and among the species of Pourthiaea could explain the cytonuclear discordance. Considering the evidence from morphology and phylogenomic data, we propose a new infrageneric classification for Pourthiaea, consisting of three sections: P. sect. Pourthiaea, P. sect. Amphidoxae B.B.Liu, and P. sect. Impressivenae B.B.Liu.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
