Comparative analyses of the plastid genomes and their phylogenetic implications in tribe delphinieae (Ranunculaceae)

This study provides a definitive phylogenetic backbone for Delphinieae, clarifies its life-history evolution, and links its diversification to key geological events. The conserved plastome structure and identified hypervariable regions offer a foundation for future systematic and population-level studies in this ecologically and medicinally important tribe.
