Regeneration failure, fire, topography, and climate interact to drive temperate wet forest landscapes into fire traps

Ecography, EarlyView.
Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Evolution of Lower Brachyceran Flies (Diptera) and Their Adaptive Radiation with Angiosperms

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The Diptera (true flies) is one of the most species-abundant orders of Insecta, and it is also among the most important flower-visiting insects. Dipteran fossils are abundant in the Mesozoic, especially in the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. Here, we

Pollen Morphology of Crucianella L. (Rubiaceae) Based on Light and Scanning Electron Microscope Data and Implications for Taxonomy

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
This study provides the palynological analysis of 12 Crucianella L. taxa using LM and SEM. Variations in pollen size, aperture number, and exine ornamentation were identified as key traits, demonstrating their taxonomic value for distinguishing closely related species and subspecies within the genus. ABSTRACT Crucianella L.

Divergent Evolutionary Patterns of NAC Transcription Factors Are Associated with Diversification and Gene Duplications in Angiosperm

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
NAC (NAM/ATAF/CUC) proteins constitute one of the biggest plant-specific transcription factor (TF) families and have crucial roles in diverse developmental programs during plant growth.

Phylogenomics and the rise of the angiosperms

Nature
AbstractAngiosperms are the cornerstone of most terrestrial ecosystems and human livelihoods1,2. A robust understanding of angiosperm evolution is required to explain their rise to ecological dominance. So far, the angiosperm tree of life has been determined primarily by means of analyses of the plastid genome3,4.

A THEORY OF ANGIOSPERM EVOLUTION [PDF]

Evolution, 1952
The Cretaceous period, which was transitional from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic era, is well represented by a succession of fossil floras from both hemispheres. These floras record a change from an Early Cretaceous world dominated by typically Jurassic ferns and gymnosperms, to a Middle Cretaceous landscape in which the angiosperms had become ...

Seagrass species diversity in Tanzania based on morphological and molecular data

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Seagrass diversity along the Tanzanian coast has been documented mainly through morphology, with limited molecular reference data available for Tanzania and the wider Western Indian Ocean. This study combined morphological identification with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Uneven HAK/KUP/KT protein diversity among angiosperms: species distribution and perspectives

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
HAK/KUP/KT K+ transporters have been widely associated with K+ transport across membranes in bacteria, fungi and plants. Indeed some members of the plant HAK/KUP/KT family contribute to root K+ uptake, notably at low external concentrations. Besides such

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.
