Molecular Phylogeny and Taxonomic Insights for Premna (Lamiaceae) in Thailand
Introduction This article summarizes the molecular phylogeny and taxonomic notes for Premna (Lamiaceae) in Thailand, based on a multi-locus chloroplast approach. Utilizing four chloroplast markers and concatenated datasets, the study delineates phylogenetic relationships among Thai Premna species, highlights unresolved polytomies, and revisits trusted species concepts within the P. serratifolia complex. Phylogenetic reconstruction Using a multi-locus…

Molecular Phylogeny and Taxonomic Notes on Premna (Lamiaceae) in Thailand
Overview This study provides the first multi-locus phylogenetic framework for Premna species in Thailand, using four chloroplast markers. The results corroborate a monophyletic Premna within Premnoideae and its sister relationship to Gmelina L., while highlighting unresolved nodes within the Thai Premna lineage that require deeper genomic analyses. Phylogenetic framework and key findings Using four chloroplast…

Comparative Chloroplast Genomics of Erigeron: Insights from 25 Species Across World and Island Lineages
Introduction: Erigeron’s Global Footprint and Genomic Inquiry Erigeron, commonly known as fleabane, is a diverse and nearly cosmopolitan genus within the tribe Astereae of the Asteraceae. With roughly 457 species spanning North American temperate regions to East Asia and the Juan Fernández Islands, Erigeron presents a compelling case for studying chloroplast genome evolution in a…

Molecular characterization of four novel mycoviruses in entomopathogenic and nematophagous fungi
Overview The world of mycoviruses—viruses that infect fungi—has long been dominated by studies on plant-associated fungi. Recent work, however, has begun to illuminate viruses that inhabit fungi with ecological roles in animal health and pest control. A new study reports the molecular characterization of four novel mycoviruses isolated from entomopathogenic and nematophagous fungi, shedding light…
