Complete organelle genomes of the threatened aquatic species Scheuchzeria palustris (Scheuchzeriaceae): Insights into adaptation and phylogenomic placement. [PDF]
The organelle genomes map of Scheuchzeria palustris. Abstract Scheuchzeria palustris, the only species in the Scheuchzeriaceae family, plays a crucial role in methane production and transportation, influencing the global carbon cycle and maintaining ecosystem stability. However, it is now threatened by human activities and global warming. In this study,

Angiosperm flowers reached their highest morphological diversity early in their evolutionary history. [PDF]
Summary Flowers are the complex and highly diverse reproductive structures of angiosperms. Because of their role in sexual reproduction, the evolution of flowers is tightly linked to angiosperm speciation and diversification. Accordingly, the quantification of floral morphological diversity (disparity) among angiosperm subgroups and through time may ...

Ecology and Evolution of Gall-Inducing Arthropods: The Pattern From the Terrestrial Fossil Record
Insect and mite galls on land plants have a spotty but periodically rich and abundant fossil record of damage types (DTs), ichnotaxa, and informally described gall morphotypes.

Insect pollination for most of angiosperm evolutionary history
Summary Most contemporary angiosperms (flowering plants) are insect pollinated, but pollination by wind, water or vertebrates occurs in many lineages. Though evidence suggests insect pollination may be ancestral in angiosperms, this is yet to be assessed across the full phylogeny.

Summary Restorer‐of‐fertility (Rf) genes encode pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins that are targeted to mitochondria where they specifically bind to transcripts that induce cytoplasmic male sterility and repress their expression. In searching for a molecular signature unique to this class of proteins, we found that a majority of known Rf proteins ...

Fossil evidence for low gas exchange capacities for Early Cretaceous angiosperm leaves [PDF]
The photosynthetic gas exchange capacities of early angiosperms remain enigmatic. Nevertheless, many hypotheses about the causes of early angiosperm success and how angiosperms influenced Mesozoic ecosystem function hinge on understanding the maximum ...

Genome‐scale angiosperm phylogenies based on nuclear, plastome, and mitochondrial datasets
Genome‐scale angiosperm phylogenies were reconstructed used currently available de novo genome data of 366 angiosperm species from 241 genera belonging to 97 families across 43 of the 64 orders based on orthologous genes from the nuclear, plastid, and mitochondrial genomes of the same species with compatible datasets.

Phylogenetic Analyses of Two Mitochondrial Metabolic Genes Sampled in Parallel from Angiosperms Find Fundamental Interlocus Incongruence [PDF]
Plant molecular phylogeneticists have supported an analytical approach of combining loci from different genomes, but the combination of mitochondrial sequences with chloroplast and nuclear sequences is potentially problematic. Low substitution rates in

Toward a phylogenomic classification of magnoliids. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Magnoliids are a strongly supported clade of angiosperms. Previous phylogenetic studies based primarily on analyses of a limited number of mostly plastid markers have led to the current classification of magnoliids into four orders and 18 families. However, uncertainty remains regarding the placement of several families.
