Secrets within stems: The cryptic Apodanthes caseariae (Apodanthaceae), a rare neotropical holoendoparasite

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 385-400, March 2026.
Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

Integrating Morphology and Chloroplast Genomics: A New East Asian Species of Aletris (Nartheciaceae) With Insights Into Regional Phylogeny and Evolution

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Based on morphological and chloroplast phylogenomic analyses, we describe Aletris medogensis as a new species endemic to the eastern Himalayas. Comparative genomics revealed structural variations, hypervariable markers, and signatures of positive selection in key genes, providing robust evidence for species delimitation and insights into the ...
