Target capture sequencing for phylogenomic and population studies in the Southeast Asian genus <i>Palaquium</i> (Sapotaceae)

Abstract The first phylogenomic study using a custom target capture bait panel within the Isonandreae tribe in Sapotaceae is presented. combination of taxon-specific and universal loci from Angiosperms353 probe set achieved high species resolution genus Palaquium provides insights into Malesian representatives Sapotaceae, where relationships between taxa often remain poorly understood. results highlight that generic some circumscriptions require further investigation possible revision: Aulandra longifolia found to be nested Palaquium, P. rostratum microphyllum. Population structure analysis produced limited species, but was able recover parameters are potentially useful population genomic studies.
