A Conservation Assessment and Phylogenomic Evaluation of Protection Status in the Tropical Genus Heliconia L. (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The primarily neotropical plant genus Heliconia has been cultivated commercially in gardens and nurseries for hundreds of years. Many of these same species are ecological keystones in their native habitats as important resources for herbivorous insects and pollinating hummingbirds, yet they face threats of habitat loss and degradation, competition with

Expert identification blitz: A rapid high value approach for assessing and improving iNaturalist identification accuracy and data precision and confidence

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Citizen science data are increasingly used in research and conservation, so assessing and improving data accuracy is important. We recruited 50 experts to review a dataset of Western Australian plant records from iNaturalist. Across three weeks, almost 11,000 records received at least one identification.

Phylogenomic insights into the origin of the Norton grape

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Challenges in viticulture such as disease resistance have renewed interest in underutilized cultivars. The Norton grape, one of the earliest popular North American grape cultivars, holds the potential to produce exceptional wine while being resistant to pests and disease. Yet, the ancestry of the Norton grape is controversial.

Integrating target capture with whole genome sequencing of recent and natural history collections to explain the phylogeography of wild‐growing and cultivated cannabis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cannabis has been used by humans for millennia, resulting in diverse landraces and uses. Its complex legal status and economic importance make sampling wild‐growing populations difficult, limiting past studies to modern cultivars with low genetic diversity. Our research provides crucial insights into the genetic diversity of wild‐growing and cultivated

FHY3/FAR1 transposable elements generate adaptive genetic variation in the Bassia scoparia genome

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
FHY3/FAR1 are active transposable elements and are involved with the formation of genomic structural variants that cause glyphosate resistance in Bassia scoparia. Abstract BACKGROUND A nearly complete genome assembly consisting of 14 scaffolds, a total length of 969.6 Mb, and an N50 scaffold length of 99.88 Mb, was generated to better understand how ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of ALS‐resistant Amaranthus hybridus across Brazil's primary soybean‐growing regions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We identified two distinct target‐site mutations, Asp‐376‐Glu and Trp‐574‐Leu, that confer resistance to acetolactate synthase inhibitors in Amaranthus hybridus populations across Brazil's soybean‐growing regions. These findings suggest multiple independent origins of resistance, with its spread primarily driven by local herbicide selection pressure ...

The genus problem – Eucalyptus as a model system for minimising taxonomic disruption

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The ongoing reclassification of higher plant genera (their division, combining and recircumscription) is the cause of extensive modifications to binomials. Many genus reclassifications have been far more taxonomically disruptive than necessary to achieve monophyletic genera.

Systematics of Planchonella Pierre: The largest Sapotaceae genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Planchonella is the largest genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae), believed to circumscribe about 110 species, occurring throughout tropical Asia, Australia, and Oceania, as well as the Seychelles and Hawaii. Previous studies have confirmed the monophyly of Planchonella but also identified problems such as species limits of the ...

MAJOR CLADES OF THE ANGIOSPERMS [PDF]

Cladistics, 1985
Abstract— Our knowledge of fundamental angiosperm interrelationships is still very incomplete. The absence of a narrowly circumscribed gymnosperm outgroup, ideally the sister group, makes character evaluation, necessary for a cladistic analysis, difficult.
