The paper evaluates an ex situ metacollection of tropical montane cloud forest plants in Australia using genetic data to assess its representation of wild diversity and identify conservation improvements.

This study reconstructs the phylogenetic relationships of Bulbophyllum using plastid genes, revealing five major lineages and clarifying infrageneric classification in the Asian clade.

This study constructs a nuclear phylogeny of grasses using genome-scale data, showing agreement with plastome phylogeny and evidence for repeated reticulation events.

This study reconstructs the phylogeny of orchids using genomic data and infers their geographic origin and speciation patterns, finding their origin in Laurasia and recent speciation in Central America.

The paper improves locus recovery by expanding the Angiosperms353 probe set with more transcriptome data, increasing on-target reads and loci recovery.

This study uses genomic data to clarify the taxonomic status and conservation needs of Corybas dowlingii, revealing hybrid origins and genetic admixture within the species complex.
