Telomerase RNA gene paralogs in plants – the usual pathway to unusual telomeres
New Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 6, Page 2353-2366, September 2023., 2023 Summary Telomerase, telomeric DNA and associated proteins together represent a complex, finely tuned and functionally conserved mechanism that ensures genome integrity by protecting and maintaining chromosome ends. Changes in its components can threaten an organism's viability.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 408-423, May 2023., 2023 Cherimoya has been an important food source since Pre‐Columbian times in the Americas. Although it is currently considered an underutilized fruit crop, it is still important at the local level in several regions of Central and South America, and has a clear niche for expansion in regions with subtropical climates.

Roots Structure and Development of Austrobaileya scandens (Austrobaileyaceae) and Implications for Their Evolution in Angiosperms [PDF]
, 2020 Since the resolution of the ANA grade [Amborellales, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales] as sister to all other flowering plants, a few comparative studies of root structure have suggested that some of their anatomical traits could be of importance to ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 21, Issue 5, Page 1608-1619, July 2021., 2021 Abstract The flowering plant family Annonaceae includes important commercially grown tropical crops, but development of promising species is hindered by a lack of genomic resources to build breeding programs. Annonaceae are part of the magnoliids, an ancient lineage of angiosperms for which evolutionary relationships with other major clades remain ...

The Early Cretaceous mesofossil flora of Catefica, Portugal: angiosperms
Fossil Imprint, 2022 Angiosperm mesofossils are described from the Lower Cretaceous Almargem Formation exposed near the village of Catefica, Portugal, and are thought to be of Aptian-early Albian age. The mesofossil assemblage from Catefica is diverse and, in addition to the
