A new species of Drimia Jacq. ex Willd. (Asparagaceae) from Nellai wildlife sanctuary, Western Ghats, India

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
The new species Drimia courtallensis from the Nellai Wildlife Sanctuary of Tamil Nadu, India is described and illustrated. It is similar to Drimia razii,in its necked bulb, hysteranthous nature, lax inflorescence and diurnal flowers on moderately short pedicels but it can be distinguished by its broader linear‐lanceolate leaves (230–420 × 6–15 mm ...

Duckweeds: Model organisms for research on plant sterols and steroids

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 18-30, January 2026.
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae), the fastest‐growing angiosperms and promising vegan protein source, offer a powerful model to address key questions in plant physiology. This article highlights their potential for dissecting the biosynthesis and function of phytosterols, sterol conjugates, brassinosteroids, and specialized steroidal metabolites, such as ...

A densely sampled nuclear phylogenomic analysis of the coryphoid palms (Arecaceae: Coryphoideae)

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 6, Page 1372-1392, December 2025.
Abstract The palm family (Arecaceae) has a rich history of phylogenetic research, including several recent phylogenomic studies. However, densely sampled phylogenomic datasets for larger palm clades – such as subfamilies – are still few in number. We used target sequence capture to obtain data for 971 nuclear genes across 421 (ca.

Fire Constrains Orchid Occurrence in Chapada Diamantina, Brazil

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fires are key ecological disturbances in tropical ecosystems and are shifting in response to human activities, underscoring the need to understand species‐specific responses. Their impacts on orchids remain poorly understood, particularly in biodiverse tropical mosaics such as the Chapada Diamantina region in Brazil.

Tracing the History of Angiosperm Systematics through Liliales and Asparagales

International Journal of Plant Sciences
The field of systematics is central to how we understand, classify, and discuss organisms and their evolution. Systematics directly or indirectly touches every branch of biology. Over the last 50 years, methods in the field have been continually reshaped by advancing technologies, transitioning from primarily relying on morphological data to utilizing ...

Oviposition behavior and development of the invasive lily leaf beetle on native host plants from the Pacific Northwest United States

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1196-1204, November 2025.
This study examined the ability of the lily leaf beetle, Lilioceris lilii, to use native Liliaceae species as hosts in its newly invaded range in the Pacific Northwest, United States. We conducted oviposition and larval feeding trials with four lily species. Trials showed that L.

Spermatophyta Molecular Clock: Time Drift and Recent Acceleration

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
Exponential increase in the base substitution rate in recent geologic time. ABSTRACT Angiospermae radiation is widely recognized as a mid‐Cretaceous event, but the adaptive radiation of Asarum and Viola as spring ephemerals also occurred during the Quaternary. To better understand the evolution of Angiospermae through geological time, a robust and well‐
