Largest genomic tree of life of flowering plants to date includes almost 8,000 genera
Briefly

The extensive tree of life derived from the nuclear genome analysis reveals nearly 60% of all angiosperm genera, highlighting the intricate evolutionary tapestry of flowering plants.
This new phylogenetic framework challenges some pre-existing notions about angiosperm relationships while providing evidence for two significant bursts of diversification among these plants.
The findings underscore the complexity of individual plant lineages, where contrasting historical narratives illustrate the dynamic nature of angiosperm evolution.
By integrating a comprehensive dataset, this research not only supports certain classifications but also raises questions about traditional views of angiosperm classification.
