摘　　要：Encompassing ca.200 species distributed in paleotropical Africa and Asia,Amorphophallus is one of the largest genera of Araceae.In spite of the great economic interest in its glucomannan production,only a few studies have attempted to grasp the evolutionary history of this genus.In the current state of knowledge,four main clades,mostly linked to biogeographical delineation,have been identified from phylogenies based on a few genes.However,relationships among and within these clades still remain unclear,due to the rapid radiation that occurred during the early evolutionary history of the genus.Here,we generated genome skimming libraries for 43 specimens from 36 species distributed across the 4 clades,which allowed us to produce a phylogenetic matrix for a set of 71 plastid genes.Our phylogenies confirm the monophyly of these clades but show a new and well-resolved arrangement among these clades.Our analyses therefore provide a new scenario and timeline for the evolution of the main Amorphophallus clades,consistent with the morphological characteristics of the clades.The inferred scenario is also in agreement with climate dynamics and the onset of long-distance dispersal by the earliest migratory birds near the Oligocene/Miocene transition around 23 million years ago.Our study provides an up-to-date baseline to understand biogeographic and ecological processes that shaped the current diversity and distribution of Amorphophallus,paving the way for larger-scale phylogenomic studies based on plastid and nuclear genomes.
