Abstract EN
Maleae consists of economically and ecologically important plants.
However, there are considerable disputes on generic circumscription due to the lack of a reliable phylogeny at generic level.
In this study, molecular phylogeny of 35 generally accepted genera in Maleae is established using 15 chloroplast regions.
Gillenia is the most basal clade of Maleae, followed by Kageneckia + Lindleya, Vauquelinia, and a typical radiation clade, the core Maleae, suggesting that the proposal of four subtribes is reasonable.
In the core Maleae including 31 genera, chloroplast gene data support that the four Malus-related genera should better be merged into one genus and the six Sorbus-related genera would be classified into two genera, whereas all Photinia-related genera should be accepted as distinct genera.
Although the phylogenetic relationships among the genera in Maleae are much clearer than before, it is still premature to make a formal taxonomic treatment for these genera.
