The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
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.

A novel single‐cell NAD‐ME C4 subtype integrated with CAM and bicarbonate use in an aquatic plant

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2386-2401, March 2026.
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

Phylogenomics reveals the evolution of floral traits associated with pollinators and pollinator–prey conflict within the carnivorous Pinguicula subgenus Temnoceras

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
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 ...
