Disentangling a big genus: unwinding Ipomoeeae s.l. (Convolvulaceae) using an Angiosperms353-guided classical phylogenetic approach
This study emphasizes the need for infrageneric divisions in Ipomoea, and a subtribal classification of tribe Ipomoeeae. We also advocate for the utilization of phylogenomic data for phylogenetic inference and delimitation of Ipomoeeae. Nuclear molecular data and multi-species coalescent approach could prove useful in classification of Ipomoeeae, hence increased taxa sampling is recommended to fully understand the tribe.
