A phylogenomic approach to decode contentious relationships across flowering plants.

Here we describe the first order- and family-complete (APG IV) phylogenomic analysis across all flowering plants (~1K accessions representing ~300K species). We demonstrate that the probe kit we developed—within the Plant and Fungal Trees of Life (PAFTOL) research programme—for target capture of 353 single-copy nuclear orthologs, works across flowering plant lineages. Additionally, we recover high-copy off-target regions (e.g., organellar DNA), as well as non-coding target-flanking nuclear regions (of use at shallow phylogenetic levels). Our phylogenomic pipeline explores the effects of sequence data provenance (NCBI SRAs vs. target capture), data matrix completeness (missing and fragmentary sequence data), alignment, trimming, and partitioning strategies, model selection (including heterotachy), as well as gene tree and species tree inference under the coalescent. Furthermore, we address sources of conflict (concordance), explore recalcitrant “knots” in the topology (e.g., Mesangiospermae, Pentapetalae) to discuss robustness of alternative contentious relationships, and we present a backbone hypothesis for the flowering plant tree of life.
