Phylogeny and evolutionary history of <it>Leymus </it>(Triticeae; Poaceae) based on a single-copy nuclear gene encoding plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Single- and low- copy genes are less likely subject to concerted evolution, thus making themselves ideal tools for studying the origin and evolution of polyploid taxa. <it>Leymus </it>is a polyploid genus with a diverse a...
