Evolutionary Convergence of C4 Photosynthesis: A Case Study in the Nyctaginaceae

Frontiers 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 ...

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Opuntia sulphurea (Cactaceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
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 ...

Portulaca abscondita (Portulacaceae, Caryophyllales), a new microendemic species from Monte Azul, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Portulaca (Portulacaceae) is a cosmopolitan genus with centers of diversity in Africa and South America. In Brazil, 22 species are recognized, most occurring in xerophytic environments of the Cerrado, particularly in Campos Rupestres. These rocky montane habitats, especially in northern Minas Gerais state, remain undercollected despite their high ...

First Betalain-Producing Bacteria Break the Exclusive Presence of the Pigments in the Plant Kingdom

mBio, 2019
The biosynthesis of antioxidant pigments, namely, betalains, was believed to be restricted to Caryophyllales plants. This paper changes this paradigm, and enzyme mining from bacterial hosts promoted the discovery of bacterial cultures producing betalains.

Large‐scale nuclear and plastid phylogenomic analyses inform an updated Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification: APG V

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 845-874, September 2026.
This revision of the APG classification considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of the APG classification were largely based on uniparentally inherited markers (plastid DNA, largely maternally inherited), there has emerged since APG IV extensive evidence of

Out of the blue: family‐wide loss of anthocyanin biosynthesis in Cucurbitaceae

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
Significance Statement Anthocyanins are nearly universal plant pigments, making their evolutionary loss unexpected. Phylogenomics across Cucurbitaceae reveals the consistent absence of key structural and regulatory genes in the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin pathways, indicating a family‐wide pathway loss. We propose Cucurbitaceae as a ‘natural knock‐
