Comparative and phylogenomic analyses of 19 Petrocodon (Gesneriaceae) species from the Guizhou karst plateau, China, featuring 13 newly assembled chloroplast genomes
The “terrestrial island” effect of the karst landscape in southwest China drives plant diversification, with Petrocodon (Gesneriaceae) being a highly specialized representative. Frequent taxonomic revisions and severe morphological convergent evolution obscure its intrageneric phylogeny. Given the low resolution of tra...
