Sex determination system turnovers play important roles in the willows speciation

The paper investigates sex determination system turnovers in willows, showing that the 15XY system is ancestral and that gene flow is reduced between species with different SDSs.

Allopolyploidization from two dioecious ancestors leads to recurrent evolution of sex chromosomes and reversion to autosomes

The paper studies allopolyploidization in weeping willow, showing how sex chromosomes evolve and revert after hybridization between two dioecious species.

Gap-free X and Y chromosomes of Salix arbutifolia reveal an evolutionary change from male to female heterogamety in willows, without a change in the sex-determining region

The paper assembles gap-free X and Y chromosomes of Salix arbutifolia, revealing evolutionary changes in sex determination from XY to ZW without altering the sex-determining region.

Unraveling phylogenetic relationships, reticulate evolution, and genome composition of polyploid plant complexes by RAD-Seq and Hyb-Seq

This study uses RAD-Seq and Hyb-Seq data to analyze the phylogenetic relationships and genome evolution of the Ranunculus auricomus polyploid complex, revealing allopolyploid origins and post-origin evolutionary processes.

RAD sequencing data reveal a radiation of willow species (Salix L., Salicaceae) in the Hengduan Mountains and adjacent areas

This study uses RAD sequencing data to reconstruct the evolutionary history and radiation of willow species in the Hengduan Mountains and adjacent regions.

Phylogenomics supported by geometric morphometrics reveals delimitation of sexual species within the polyploid apomictic Ranunculus auricomus complex (Ranunculaceae)

The paper delimits sexual species within the polyploid apomictic Ranunculus auricomus complex using phylogenomic and geometric morphometric methods, identifying five main genetic and morphological lineages.

Phylogenomics unravels speciation patterns in temperate-montane plant species: a case study on the recently radiating Ranunculus auricomus species complex

This study uses phylogenomic data to analyze speciation patterns in the Ranunculus auricomus complex, finding that vicariance processes drove speciation during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition.

Relationships and genome evolution of polyploid Salix species revealed by RAD sequencing data

This study uses RAD sequencing to analyze the origin and relationships of seven polyploid Salix species, revealing their allopolyploid origins and genomic signatures.
