Morphological and phylogenetic analysis of Schisandra and Kadsura: distribution, trait variation, and hybridization potential.

Abstract excerpt

To enhance the research and evaluation of Schisandra and Kadsura germplasm, we investigate their geographical distribution, morphological traits, and phylogenetic relationships. We found that both genera co-occur across a broad latitudinal range (23°–50°N), with Schisandra exhibiting a wider altitudinal range (0–4500 m) than Kadsura (0–1500 m). Morphological analysis of 20 traits across 41 species (24 from...
