Genome skimming provides evidence to accept two new genera (Apiaceae) separated from the Peucedanum s.l.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Peucedanum s.l. genus, the backbone member of subfamily Apioideae, includes many medically and economically important plants. Although previous studies have proved that the genus was not a natural taxonomic unit and taxonomists also conducted several taxonomic revisions for taxa of this genus, classifications of numerous taxa of the genus still have not been satisfactorily resolved, especially for those endemic to China. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive taxonomic revision of taxa within the polyphyletic Peucedanum s.l. genus in this study.

Methods

We used two molecular datasets (103 plastomes and 43 nrDNA sequences) generated by genome skimming to reconstructed a reliable phylogenetic framework with high support and resolution. In addition
