Abstract

Recent Developments in Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Plants

Highlights

  • Modern plant taxonomy is an extensive field that is increasingly benefiting from achievements in many other fields of the biological sciences, such as genetics, cytology, molecular biology, ecology, phytogeography, and paleobotany

  • Advances in taxonomy and phylogenetic taxonomy have led to this special issue of Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae (ASBP), bringing together 13 articles from authors who responded to our invitation and call for papers from August 2019

  • We greatly appreciate the input of the reviewers who have significantly improved the quality of the submitted manuscripts

Summary

Introduction

EDITORIAL in RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN TAXONOMY AND PHYLOGENY OF PLANTS Modern plant taxonomy is an extensive field that is increasingly benefiting from achievements in many other fields of the biological sciences, such as genetics, cytology, molecular biology, ecology, phytogeography, and paleobotany. The influence of these branches of science on plant taxonomy is expressed through a significant multiplication of information and detailed data and through new phylogenetic concepts. The process of describing a new species is considered equivalent to generating a new hypothesis in phylogenetics.
