Abstract

Developing robust phylogenies and comprehensive taxonomies for big plant genera is crucial for unlocking plant-derived solutions to global sustainability challenges. Artemisia, a big genus comprising ~500 species, holds immense medicinal and ecological importance. Despite decades of efforts, establishing a comprehensive phylogeny and taxonomy for global Artemisia has remained a formidable challenge. Here, we reconstruct the most comprehensive phylogeny of global Artemisia to date (394 species) using a gigamatrix approach. We also analyze evolutionary patterns of 20 morphological characters of Artemisia worldwide to evaluate their taxonomic utility. Based on these findings, we propose a global taxonomy for Artemisia, recognizing 24 sections in 8 subgenera, and placing 99.6% of accepted species (502/505). This study provides a robust framework to advance understanding of the evolution and ecology of Artemisia, and to promote the sustainable utilization of its rich resources. Meanwhile, it introduces an exemplary case for taxonomic research on big genera in the genomic era.

标题青蒿属植物的全球系统发育与分类。

为大型植物属开发健全的系统发育和全面的分类系统对于解决全球可持续性挑战的植物衍生解决方案至关重要。青蒿属是一个由约500种植物组成的大属，具有巨大的药用和生态价值。尽管经过数十年的努力，为全球蒿属植物建立一个全面的系统发育和分类系统仍然是一项艰巨的挑战。本文采用gigammatrix方法重建了迄今为止全球青蒿属（394种）最全面的系统发育。本文还分析了世界范围内青蒿属植物的20个形态特征的进化模式，以评价其分类价值。在此基础上，本文建立了青蒿属的全球分类体系，共划分8个亚属24个科，确定了99.6%的可分类种（502/505）。该研究为进一步了解青蒿属植物的进化和生态，促进其丰富资源的可持续利用提供了强有力的框架。同时，为基因组时代的大属分类研究提供了一个范例。
