Research topics from publications: Comparative Analyses of Chloroplast Genomes Provide Comprehensive Insights into the Adaptive Evolution of Paphiopedilum (Orchidaceae); Demographic complexity within walnut species provides insights into the heterogeneity of geological and climatic fluctuations in East Asia. Representative work: An elucidation of how the selection pressures caused by habitat environments affect plant plastid genomes and lead to the adaptive evolution of plants, is a very intense area of research in evolutionary biology. The genus Paphiopedilum is a predominant group of orchids that includes over 66 species with high horticultural and ornamental value. However, owing to the destructive exploitation and habitat deterioration of wild germplasm resources of Paphiopedilum, it needs more molecular genetic resources and studies on this genus. The chloroplast is cytoplasmically inherited and often used in evolutionary studies. Thus, for this study, we newly sequenced, assembled and annotated five chloroplas Abstract East Asia constitutes one of the largest and most complex areas of plant diversity globally. This complexity is attributable to the geological history and climatic diversity of East Asia. However, controversy persists over the biogeographical hypotheses and different studies on this topic. The demographical complexity of temperate deciduous woody plants and heterogeneity of geological and climatic fluctuations in East Asia remain poorly understood. We aimed to assemble the chloroplast and nuclear genomes of 360 individuals from five walnut ( Juglans ) species in East Asia and comprehensively analyze the phylogenetic inference, genetic structure, population demographic, and selection
