Phylogenetic relationships and divergent evolution in Pueraria sensu stricto (Fabaceae) based on plastid genomes and nrITS sequences
This study offers new insights into the taxonomy and systematic relationships of Pueraria s.s. by integrating comparative chloroplast genomics, phylogenetic inference, and trait evolution. These results enhance our understanding of the lineages within Pueraria s.s. that have undergone reticulate evolution, and inform future studies on legume systematics and adaptive evolution.
