Journal ArticleDOI

The sunflower genome provides insights into oil metabolism, flowering and Asterid evolution

TL;DR: It is found that the genomic architecture of flowering time has been shaped by the most recent whole-genome duplication, which suggests that ancient paralogues can remain in the same regulatory networks for dozens of millions of years.
Journal ArticleDOI

A fully resolved backbone phylogeny reveals numerous dispersals and explosive diversifications throughout the history of Asteraceae

TL;DR: This study places the origin of Asteraceae at ∼83 MYA in the late Cretaceous and reveals that the family underwent a series of explosive radiations during the Eocene which were accompanied by accelerations in diversification rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

A target enrichment method for gathering phylogenetic information from hundreds of loci: An example from the Compositae

TL;DR: An approach that enables the rapid sequencing of large numbers of orthologous nuclear loci to facilitate efficient phylogenomic analyses and the successful reconstruction of known phylogenetic relationships across the Compositae is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic diversity and population structure in cultivated sunflower and a comparison to its wild progenitor, Helianthus annuus L

TL;DR: A population genetic analysis of the primary gene pool of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) based on a broad sampling of 433 cultivated accessions from North America and Europe, as well as a range-wide collection of 24 wild sunflower populations revealed that the bulk of the cultivar diversity is derived from two wildSunflower population genetic clusters that are primarily composed of individuals from the east-central United States.
