- New publications on bryophytesDong S., H.-L. Li, B. Goffinet & Y. Liu. 2021. Exploring the impact of RNA editing on mitochondrial phylogenetic analyses in liverworts, an early land plant lineage. Journal of Systematics and Evolution (in press). Abstract reads: Plant mitochondrial protein‐coding genes are slow‐evolving, and thus are less subjected to substitution saturation, and therefore perhaps more suitable […]Posted on November 18, 2020
