Why
This study aims to refine the evolutionary framework of the genus Limonium and inform plastome-based inference in recent plant radiations, driven by the lack of plastome data from its centre of diversity.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This research provides new insights into the evolutionary history of the Limonium genus, particularly endangered Maltese endemic species, which can aid in their conservation efforts. The findings also contribute to the broader understanding of plant phylogenetics and genome evolution.
