The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Opuntia sulphurea (Cactaceae)
Opuntia sulphurea Gillies ex Salm-Dyck 1834 (Cactaceae) acts as an invasive species due to its ability to survive in various environments. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Opuntia sulphurea, which was 122,740 bp in ...

A novel single‐cell NAD‐ME C4 subtype integrated with CAM and bicarbonate use in an aquatic plant
Summary Many plants maximize photosynthesis by using a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). Based on physiology, the freshwater plant Ottelia alismoides has three CCMs: C4 metabolism (NAD‐malic enzyme (NAD‐ME) subtype) and bicarbonate‐use during the day plus crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) at night and lacks Kranz anatomy. Here, we combined a range of

Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Evolutionary Convergence of C4 Photosynthesis: A Case Study in the Nyctaginaceae
C4 photosynthesis evolved over 65 times, with around 24 origins in the eudicot order Caryophyllales. In the Caryophyllales family Nyctaginaceae, the C4 pathway is known in three genera of the tribe Nyctagineae: Allionia, Okenia and Boerhavia ...
