A study in BMC Evolutionary Biology represents the most comprehensive effort to clarify the phylogeny of green plants using sequences from the plastid genome. This study highlights the strengths and limitations of plastome data for resolving the green plant phylogeny, and points toward an exciting future for plant phylogenetics, during which the vast and largely untapped territory of nuclear genomes will be explored.
一项发表在 BMC 进化生物学杂志上的研究代表了使用质体基因组序列来阐明绿色植物系统发育的最全面的努力。这项研究强调了质体数据在解决绿色植物系统发育方面的优势和局限性,并为植物系统发育的未来指明了方向,在未来,将探索核基因组这个广阔而尚未充分开发的领域。
