Epicuticular waxes have vital roles in the growth and development of plants and in defense. Conifers have a considerable amount of waxes on their cones and leaves.Here we characterized the n-alkane composition of Iran...
DNA barcoding is a useful tool for species identification using standardized genomic DNA fragments. The genus Amentotaxus, consisting of five or six species, is confined to South China, Northeast India, Laos, and Viet...

The recognition of natural hybridization can help to understand the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. Based on intermediate morphology and overlapped distribution, Torreya grandis var. jiulongshanensis Z. Y. Li,...
Due to differences in morphology, ecology and biology, the phylogenesis of Coniferopsida and Taxaceae remains controversial, and the phylogenetic relationship of Pseudotaxus is yet to be confirmed. Three rDNA regions,...

Taxus chinensis var.mairei is an endangered and economically important tree species in China.Four polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed and characterized using the fast isolation by amplified fragment leng...
A new abeotaxane was isolated from the seeds of Taxus mairei. Its structure was determined to be 2α, 5α, 13α-trihydroxy-7β, 10β-diacetoxy-2(3→20) abeotaxa-4(20), 11-dien-9- one on the basis of 1D and 2D spec...
