Comparative Nectary Morphology across Cleomaceae (Brassicales) [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Floral nectaries have evolved multiple times and rapidly diversified with the adaptive radiation of animal pollinators. As such, floral nectaries exhibit extraordinary variation in location, size, shape, and secretory mechanism.

New Insights Into the Evolution of C4 Photosynthesis Offered by the Tarenaya Cluster of Cleomaceae [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Cleomaceae is closely related to Brassicaceae and includes C3, C3–C4, and C4 species. Thus, this family represents an interesting system for studying the evolution of the carbon concentrating mechanism.

A comparison of stomatal conductance responses to blue and red light between C3 and C4 photosynthetic species in three phylogenetically-controlled experiments [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionC4 photosynthesis is an adaptation that has independently evolved at least 66 times in angiosperms. C4 plants, unlike their C3 ancestral, have a carbon concentrating mechanism which suppresses photorespiration, often resulting in faster ...

Virus‐induced gene silencing as a tool for functional studies in Cleome violacea [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2021 Premise Cleomaceae is emerging as a promising family to investigate a wide range of phenomena, such as C4 photosynthesis and floral diversity. However, functional techniques are lacking for elucidating this diversity.

Shining a light on UV-fluorescent floral nectar after 50 years [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNature is aglow with numerous captivating examples of UV-fluorescence in the animal kingdom. Despite a putative role as a visual signal, exploration of UV-fluorescence in plants and its role in plant-animal interactions is lagging in comparison.
