TL;DR: Strong support for monophyly of groups corresponding closely to many previously recognized tribes and subfamilies is found, but no previous classification was entirely supported, and relationships among the strongly supported clades were weakly resolved and/or conflicted between some data sets.

TL;DR: Generic relationships in the Pyrinae (equivalent to subfamily Maloideae) were assessed with six chloroplast regions and five nuclear regions, and 12 non-molecular characters onto molecular phylogenies were plotted.

TL;DR: The botany, ethnobotany, and traditional use of hawthorn are reviewed while focusing on the phytochemicals that have been reported in Crataegus species, and the variation in the described chemistry between individual species.

TL;DR: Garnett and Christidis as mentioned in this paper argued that the lack of governance of taxonomy damages conservation efforts, harms the credibility of science, and is costly to society, and pointed out that the scientific community's failure to govern taxonomy threatens the effectiveness of global efforts to halt biodiversity loss.

TL;DR: The data do not support the long-held hypothesis that Maloideae originated from an ancient hybridization between amygdaloid and spiraeoid ancestors and are largely compatible with those from chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer DNA.
