Summary Grasses are fundamental to human survival, providing a large percentage of our calories, fuel, and fodder for livestock, and an enormous global carbon sink. A particularly important part of the grass plant is the grain‐producing inflorescence that develops in response to both internal and external signals that converge at the shoot tip to ...

Resolving deep relationships of PACMAD grasses: a phylogenomic approach [PDF]
Background Plastome sequences for 18 species of the PACMAD grasses (subfamilies Panicoideae, Aristidoideae, Chloridoideae, Micrairoideae, Arundinoideae, Danthonioideae) were analyzed phylogenomically.

Evolution and diversification of the momilactone biosynthetic gene cluster in the genus Oryza
Summary Plants are master chemists and collectively are able to produce hundreds of thousands of different organic compounds. The genes underlying the biosynthesis of many specialized metabolites are organized in biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), which is hypothesized to ensure their faithful coinheritance and to facilitate their coordinated ...

A molecular phylogenetic study of Deschampsia (Poaceae: Aveneae) inferred from nuclear ITS and plastid trnL sequence data: support for the recognition of Avenella and Vahlodea [PDF]
The circumscription and phylogeny of Deschampsia were studied for the first time by parsimony analysis of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid trnL intron sequences.

The homogenization of China's city flowers and city trees
Abstract Cultural homogeneity, similar to the loss biodiversity, is a significant global issue that is increasingly gaining attention. City flowers and city trees (CFTs) serve as emblematic cultural symbols of modern cities, often referred to as the ‘green business card’. While many cities have established CFTs in recent decades, there are instances of

Summary Grasses (Poaceae) comprise c. 11 800 species and are central to human livelihoods and terrestrial ecosystems. Knowing their relationships and evolutionary history is key to comparative research and crop breeding. Advances in genome‐scale sequencing allow for increased breadth and depth of phylogenomic analyses, making it possible to infer a new

Coalescent-based species delimitation in the sand lizards of the Liolaemus wiegmannii complex (Squamata: Liolaemidae) [PDF]
Coalescent-based algorithms coupled with the access to genome-wide data have become powerful tools forassessing questions on recent or rapid diversification, as well as delineating species boundaries in the absence of reciprocal monophyly.
