Comparative Genomics and Phylogenetic Relationships of Two Endemic and Endangered Species (Handeliodendron Bodinieri and Eurycorymbus Cavaleriei) of two Monotypic Genera within Sapindales
Abstract:Background
Handeliodendron Rehder and Eurycorymbus Hand.-Mazz. are the monotypic genera in the Sapindaceae family. The phylogenetic relationship of these endangered species Handeliodendron bodinieri (Lévl.) Rehd. and Eurycorymbus cavaleriei (Lévl.) Rehd. et Hand.-Mazz. with other members of Sapindaceae s.l. is not well resolved. A previous study concluded that the genus Aesculus might be paraphyletic because Handeliodendron was nested within it based on small DNA fragments. Thus, their chloroplast genomic in… Show more
