A new, simple, highly scalable, and efficient protocol for genomic DNA extraction from diverse plant taxa. [PDF]
Premise Commonly used molecular techniques such as next‐generation sequencing require reliable methods to extract DNA quickly and efficiently. Secondary compounds within plant tissues make this requirement all the more challenging, often forcing researchers to test different extraction methods tailored to their particular species of interest in order ...

Beyond Structure: The Role of the Outer Integument in Embryo, Endosperm, and Seed Development in Annona. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In most angiosperms, the embryo develops within maternal tissues and is enclosed by two integuments, which play a crucial role in embryo and seed development. However, while this role has been extensively studied in model eudicots like Arabidopsis thaliana, it remains understudied in non‐model plants and largely unexplored in basal and early ...

Macroevolutionary dynamics in the transition of angiosperms to aquatic environments. [PDF]
Summary Angiosperm lineages in aquatic environments are characterized by high structural and functional diversity, and wide distributions. A long‐standing evolutionary riddle is what processes have caused the relatively low diversity of aquatic angiosperms compared to their terrestrial relatives.

ABSTRACT Macrophytes are an important part of freshwater ecosystems and they have direct and indirect roles in keeping the water clear and providing structure and habitats for other aquatic organisms. Currently, climate change is posing a major threat to macrophyte communities by altering the many drivers that determine macrophyte abundance and ...

The reconstruction of the historical shoreline vegetation across multiple basins of Lower Lake Constance using sedDNA, reveals the irreversible trajectory of the plant communities in relation to extensive anthropogenic pressures in the region. Abstract Many European lake ecosystems, including their respective catchment areas, underwent anthropogenic ...

The Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution and the origins of modern biodiversity
Summary Biodiversity today has the unusual property that 85% of plant and animal species live on land rather than in the sea, and half of these live in tropical rainforests. An explosive boost to terrestrial diversity occurred from c. 100–50 million years ago, the Late Cretaceous and early Palaeogene. During this interval, the Earth‐life system on land
