Early Diverging and Core Bromelioideae (Bromeliaceae) Reveal Contrasting Patterns of Genome Size Evolution and Polyploidy [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The subfamily Bromelioideae is one of the most diverse groups among the neotropical Bromeliaceae. Previously, key innovations have been identified which account for the extraordinary radiation and species richness of this subfamily, especially in the so ...

The diverse diaspora of CAM: a pole-to-pole sketch. [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2023 Background: CAM photosynthesis is a successful adaptation that has evolved often in angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns and lycophytes. Present in ca. 5 % of vascular plants, the CAM diaspora includes all continents barring Antarctica.

New plastome structural rearrangements discovered in core Tillandsioideae (Bromeliaceae) support recently adopted taxonomy. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2022 Full plastome sequences for land plants have become readily accessible thanks to the development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques and powerful bioinformatic tools. Despite this vast amount of genomic data, some lineages remain understudied.

More than Scales: Evidence for the Production and Exudation of Mucilage by the Peltate Trichomes of Tillandsia cyanea (Bromeliaceae: Tillandsioideae) [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Bromeliad scales have been investigated extensively due to their recognition as a key ecological and evolutionary feature of Bromeliaceae. However, much remains unknown about such trichomes and only recently mucilage exudation was described for them in a

Bromeliaceae subfamilies show divergent trends of genome size evolution. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Genome size is known to vary widely across plants. Yet, the evolutionary drivers and consequences of genome size variation across organisms are far from understood.

Geography, environment and organismal traits in the diversification of a major tropical herbaceous angiosperm radiation. [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2018 The generation of plant diversity involves complex interactions between geography, environment, and organismal traits. Many macroevolutionary processes and emergent patterns have been identified in different plant groups through the study of spatial data,

Genetic diversity and conservation in Bromeliaceae based on SSR markers [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular BiologyBromeliaceae has been used as a model Neotropical group to study evolutionary and diversification processes. Moreover, since large parts of the Neotropics are under anthropogenic pressure, a high percentage of possibly threatened species occurs.
