TL;DR: Phylogenetic, molecular, geologic, and fossil data all support the hypothesis that the eastern Asian and eastern North American disjunct distributions are relicts of the maximum development of temperate forests in the northern hemisphere.

TL;DR: The Himalayas and central and western China are the current centers of diversity of the ginseng genus and the low ITS sequence divergence and a close relationship among species in that region suggest that rapid evolutionary radiation may have created such a diversity of Panax in the Himalaya and in central and eastern China.

TL;DR: The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is the highest and one of the most extensive plateaus in the world and many lineages of gymnosperms have been found to evolve rapidly as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is proposed that WGDs and environmental factors, including animals, contributed to the evolution of the many fruits in Rosaceae, which provide a foundation for understanding fruit evolution.

TL;DR: The analyses suggest two major groups within the Amygdaloideae: PRUNUS: s.l. (sensu lato) and MADDENIA:, and (2) EXOCHORDA:, Oemleria, and PRINSEPIA: The ITS phylogeny supports the recent treatment of including EXO CHORDA: (formerly in the Spiraeoideae) in the Amydraesideae.
