Location: Hall 4, 1F, Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition CenterAngiosperms are the most diverse plant group. Angiosperm phylogeny is a foundation for a variety of other studies, including evolutionary biology and ecology, comparative genomics, and translational agriculture. Generally, chloroplast and mitochondrial genes in plants are uniparentally inherited, which might lead to biases when inferring phylogenetic relationships. To better understand the evolutionary history of angiosperms, it is necessary to investigate their phylogenetic relationships using nuclear genes.Hong Ma
