Identification of species and materia medica within Saussurea subg. Amphilaena based on DNA barcodes [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Saussurea is one of the most species-rich genera in the family Asteraceae, where some have a complex evolutionary history, including radiation and convergent evolution, and the identification of these species is notoriously difficult. This genus contains

Convergent Variations in the Leaf Traits of Desert Plants

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Convergence is commonly caused by environmental filtering, severe climatic conditions and local disturbance. The basic aim of the present study was to understand the pattern of leaf traits across diverse desert plant species in a common garden, in ...

Multiple independent losses of the biosynthetic pathway for two tropane alkaloids in the Solanaceae family

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Hyoscyamine and scopolamine (HS), two valuable tropane alkaloids of significant medicinal importance, are found in multiple distantly related lineages within the Solanaceae family. Here we sequence the genomes of three representative species that produce
