Dated tribe-wide whole chloroplast genome phylogeny indicates recurrent hybridizations within Triticeae

Abstract Background Triticeae, the tribe of wheat grasses, harbours the cereals barley, rye and wheat and their wild relatives. Although economically important, relationships within the tribe are still not understood. We analysed the phylogeny of chloroplast lineages among nearly all monogenomic Tri...
