Altitudinal Variation in Woody Species Diversity, Regeneration, and Soil Seed Bank Composition in Bela Mountain Forest, Northern Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The study aimed to examine the relationship between species diversity and regeneration status along altitudinal gradients in a Bela Mountain Forest, northern Ethiopia. The result of the study showed that 54 woody species belonging to 31 families were recorded.

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

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
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.

Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1132-1144, July 2026.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

The complete chloroplast genome of a traditional medicinal and food plant, Polygonatum humile (Asparagaceae, Asparagales)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Polygonatum humile (Asparagaceae) is a medicinal and food plant that is naturally distributed in the North East Asia region and East of Russia. Here we report on the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of P. humile.

Refining generic limits in Hyacinthinae (Asparagaceae, Scilloideae): Conflict and concordance between morphology and phylogenomics

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 751-775, July 2026.
Using Angiosperms353 and plastid genome skimming, the generic limits of Hyacinthinae were explored. Floral morphology conflicts with the molecular groupings in many cases, but bulb morphology and cytogenetics define groups similar to those defined by DNA.

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 6, Page 354-375, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

The Linear‐Leaved Dracaena Complex (Asparagaceae) in Borneo, With 13 New Species

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Bornean Dracaena are morphologically diverse, enabling the recognition of a highly distinctive group here referred to as the “linear‐leaved Dracaena complex” which includes species with leaves that are grass‐like with ratios of blade length to maximum width > 10.

Food and Medicine Homologous Plants in Osteoporosis: A Scoping Review of Preclinical Evidence

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Food and medicine homologous (FMH) plants and their bioactive compounds exhibit potential osteoprotective effects through multiple complementary mechanisms, including estrogen‐like signaling, attenuation of oxidative stress, modulation of the gut microbiota–bone axis, and regulation of autophagy.

Typification of Linnaean names in Eurasian Asphodelaceae

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The typification of four Linnaean names of taxa belonging to the current circumscription of Asphodelaceae is discussed, in addition to the Linnaean‐related Anthericum mattiazzi. Lectotypes are designated from the Adriaan van Royen Herbarium at L (Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus var.

Phylogenetic analysis and the recognition of a new genus for Mexican Crassulaceae segregated from Echeveria

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Systematic knowledge of the Mexican Crassulaceae is slowly progressing as data from new DNA regions and species sampling efforts increase. We compiled and generated new rbcL, matK, rps16, ITS/ITS2, and ETS DNA sequences and performed an updated phylogenetic reconstruction for a group of 131 Mexican Crassulaceae terminals from 11 of the 13 ...
