Complete chloroplast genome of Tetragonia tetragonioides: Molecular phylogenetic relationships and evolution in Caryophyllales.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
The chloroplast genome of Tetragonia tetragonioides (Aizoaceae; Caryophyllales) was sequenced to provide information for studies on phylogeny and evolution within Caryophyllales. The chloroplast genome of Tetragonia tetragonioides is 149,506 bp in length

One-seeded fruits in the core Caryophyllales: their origin and structural diversity.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The core Caryophyllales consist of approximately 30 families (12,000 species) distributed worldwide. Many members evolved one-seeded or conjoined fruits, but their origin and structural diversity have not been investigated.

Convergent evolution of betalains in Caryophyllales

open access: yes, 2023
In this thesis, I investigate the evolution of betalains in Caryophyllales. Betalains are a group of red and yellow pigments, which in plants occur only in the order Caryophyllales. Here, betalains replace the otherwise ubiquitous anthocyanin pigments, and the two pigment types appear mutually exclusive.

Crassulacean acid metabolism in the Basellaceae (Caryophyllales)

open access: yesPlant Biology, 2018
Abstract C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) have evolved in the order Caryophyllales many times but neither C4 nor CAM have been recorded for the Basellaceae, a small family in the CAM‐rich sub‐order Portulacineae. 24 h gas exchange and day–night changes in titratable acidity were measured in leaves of Anredera baselloides exposed to wet–dry ...

Evolution of wood anatomical characters in Nepenthes and close relatives of Caryophyllales [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2017
Nepenthes attracts wide attention with its spectacularly shaped carnivorous pitchers, cultural value and horticultural curiosity. Despite the plant's iconic fascination, surprisingly little anatomical detail is known about the genus beyond its modified leaf tip traps. Here, the wood anatomical diversity of Nepenthes is explored.

Evolution of l-DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase activity allows for recurrent specialisation to betalain pigmentation in Caryophyllales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The evolution of l-DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase activity, encoded by the gene DODA, was a key step in the origin of betalain biosynthesis in Caryophyllales. We previously proposed that l-DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase activity evolved via a single Caryophyllales-specific ...

Identification, Characterization and Functional Analysis of C-Class Genes Associated with Double Flower Trait in Carnation (Dianthus caryphyllus L.)

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Flowers with more petals are of more ornamental value. It is well known that AGAMOUS (AG) is the core member of the C-class gene which plays an essential role in double flower formation and identification of stamens and carpels in Arabidopsis thaliana ...

A taxonomic backbone for the global synthesis of species diversity in the angiosperm order caryophyllales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The Caryophyllales constitute a major lineage of flowering plants with approximately 12?500 species in 39 families. A taxonomic backbone at the genus level is provided that reflects the current state of knowledge and accepts 749 genera for the order.

Proof of anthocyanins in the carnivorous plant genus Nepenthes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2021
Yellow to red colored betalains are a chemotaxonomic feature of Caryophyllales, while in most other plant taxa, anthocyanins are responsible for these colors.

Sodium hyperaccumulators in the Caryophyllales are characterized by both abnormally large shoot sodium concentrations and [Na]shoot/[Na]root quotients greater than unity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Some Caryophyllales species accumulate abnormally large shoot sodium (Na) concentrations in non-saline environments. It is not known whether this is a consequence of altered Na partitioning between roots and shoots.
