Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation S. africana plastomes have typical quadripartite structure and 129 unique genes.
- Observation The plastomes contain 33 tRNAs.
- Observation The plastomes contain eight rRNAs.
- Observation Isolated African limit populations showed substantial intraspecific variation.
- Observation Phylogenetic analysis strongly supported Sambucus monophyly.
- Observation Viburnaceae major lineages diverged around 80.89 Mya.
- Observation Within genus diversification was dated to the Eocene or later.
- Observation Ancestral reconstruction placed the most probable Sambucus origin in Asia.
- Observation Under SSP585, suitable S. africana habitat is projected to decline relative to SSP126 in the named East African regions.
- Recommendation The authors recommend conservation units for western and eastern Mt. Elgon groups.
