Summary: This study investigates the evolutionary dynamics of biomes in southern Asia, providing insights into the late Cenozoic climatic changes. The origin of Magnolia section Michelia is linked to the occurrence of modern Asian monsoons, and the asymmetric dispersal events between the tropics and sub-tropics suggest an adaptation strategy of this section to global cooling, in line with the tropical conservatism hypothesis.

Summary: This study reported the complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic relationship of Michelia balansae var. balansae. It was found that M. balansae var. balansae is most closely related to M. montana and they form a clade with other 14 Michelia species. Additionally, this Michelia clade is sister to the Aromadendron clade with high support.

Summary: This study reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Michelia macclurei, an evergreen broad-leaved tree species native to South China. The genome size was 160,139 bp and contained 113 unique genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the relationship between M. macclurei and other Michelia species.
