PREMISE: The demographic histories of temperate plants in Northeast Asia in response to Quaternary climate oscillations have long been the focus of evolutionary biologists, but have rarely been studied in herbaceous plants. Here, we investigated the phylogeographic patterns of Mukdenia and Oresitrophe. METHODS: We sequenced two plastid regions for O. rupifraga (22 populations, 222 individuals), M. acanthifolia...
