The evolution of betalain biosynthesis in Caryophyllales [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2019
SummaryWithin the angiosperm order Caryophyllales, an unusual class of pigments known as betalains can replace the otherwise ubiquitous anthocyanins. In contrast to the phenylalanine‐derived anthocyanins, betalains are tyrosine‐derived pigments which contain the chromophore betalamic acid. The origin of betalain pigments within Caryophyllales and their

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

PLoS 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.

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

PLoS 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

First Successful Targeted Mutagenesis Using CRISPR/Cas9 in Stably Transformed Grain Amaranth Tissue. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Grain amaranth is a nutritionally rich, stress‐tolerant C4 dicot with considerable potential for climate‐resilient agriculture; however, efficient and reproducible protocols for stable transformation, regeneration, and CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated editing have not yet been established.

Comparative genomics uncovers organellar genome structural divergence in Caryophyllales and reveals widespread non-coding transcription in Bougainvillea glabra organellar [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Plant organellar genomes play a crucial role in metabolism and adaptation. In this study, the organellar genomes and transcriptome of Bougainvillea glabra (Nyctaginaceae) were sequenced and assembled using PacBio sequencing and strand-specific RNA ...

Transcriptomic prey-capture responses in convergently evolved carnivorous pitcher plants. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The Australian pitcher plant Cephalotus and the Asian pitcher plant Nepenthes exhibit striking morphological and functional similarities, serving as compelling examples of convergent evolution. Although trapping pitchers in both lineages represent some of the most elaborate leaf structures in angiosperms, it remains unknown whether their ...

Disparity, Diversity, and Duplications in the Caryophyllales [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2017
Summary The role whole genome duplication (WGD) plays in the history of lineages is actively debated. WGDs have been associated with advantages including superior colonization, various adaptations, and increased effective population size. However, the lack of a comprehensive

Longevity in plants impacts phylogenetic and population dynamics. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Phylogenies of long‐lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene‐tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We examine this with simulations and through empirical examination of several large seed plant clades.
