Ecological divergence in the silver moss Bryum argenteum: developmental, ontogenetic and life-history trait variations across contrasting tropical ecosystems. [PDF]
Ecotypes of the cosmopolitan moss Bryum argenteum differ markedly in growth, reproductive timing, and allocation across contrasting tropical ecosystems. These patterns reveal strong environment‐ and sex‐dependent life‐history strategies, highlighting the species as a model for studying ecological divergence in bryophytes.

The Complete Chloroplast Genome and Morphological Data Support Reinstatement of <i>Sedum jinianum</i> (Crassulaceae) as an Independent Species. [PDF]
Phylogenetic analysis based on complete plastome data indicates that S. jinianum forms a monophyletic clade, sister to a well‐supported clade comprising four S. bulbiferum samples, supporting the reinstatement of S. jinianum as an independent species. ABSTRACT Sedum jinianum (Crassulaceae) has been treated as a synonym of S.

Histological, Transcriptomic, and Functional Analyses Reveal the Role of Gibberellin in Bulbil Development in Lilium lancifolium [PDF]
Lily bulbils, advantageous axillary organs used for asexual reproduction, have an underexplored developmental mechanism. Gibberellins are known to participate in bulbil development, but the regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.

Effects of Reproductive Materials on Growth, Corm Yield, and Glucomannan Content in <i>Amorphophallus bulbifer</i>. [PDF]
This study compares six propagation materials for Amorphophallus bulbifer. One‐year‐old corms propagated from seeds are the optimal propagation material. ABSTRACT Amorphophallus bulbifer, known for its high glucomannan content, has extensive applications and significant economic value. However, the effects of different types of propagation materials on
