A high-quality Buxus austro-yunnanensis (Buxales) genome provides new insights into karyotype evolution in early eudicots [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2022 Background Eudicots are the most diverse group of flowering plants that compromise five well-defined lineages: core eudicots, Ranunculales, Proteales, Trochodendrales, and Buxales.

Complete plastid genome sequencing of Trochodendraceae reveals a significant expansion of the inverted repeat and suggests a Paleogene divergence between the two extant species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The early-diverging eudicot order Trochodendrales contains only two monospecific genera, Tetracentron and Trochodendron. Although an extensive fossil record indicates that the clade is perhaps 100 million years old and was widespread throughout the ...

Leveraging off higher plant phylogenetic insights for antiplasmodial drug discovery [PDF]
Natural Products and Bioprospecting, 2023 The antimalarial drug-resistance conundrum which threatens to reverse the great strides taken to curb the malaria scourge warrants an urgent need to find novel chemical scaffolds to serve as templates for the development of new antimalarial drugs. Plants

Buxus and Tetracentron genomes help resolve eudicot genome history [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Gamma triplication arises via two whole-genome duplications early in eudicot history, but the relative timing of these is unclear. Here, the authors report the genomes of Buxales and Trochodendrales and reject the hypothesis of gamma arising via inter ...

Chemosystematics of the Rosiflorae [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe superorder Rosiflorae (sensu Dahlgren, 1980) belongs to the Angiospermae. It comprises twelve orders and thirty-eight families formed of species with varied habits widely distributed in temperate regions. The chemistry of Rosiflorae species is highly

Inflorescence and floral morphology of Haptanthus hazlettii (Buxaceae, Buxales) [PDF]
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015 The enigmatic Central American tree Haptanthus hazlettii has recently been placed in Buxaceae (Buxales) by molecular evidence. However, Haptanthus appears morphologically to be fundamentally different from other Buxales in having pluriovular carpels with parietal placentation and reduced male reproductive units of an obscure morphological nature.
