A new interpretation on vascular architecture of the cauline system in Commelinaceae (Commelinales) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The vascular system of monocotyledons, including Commelinaceae, has been studied since the 19th century, but to date, the proposed vascular architecture models consist of schematic representations partially based on the authors' interpretation.

Is there silicon in flowers and what does it tell us? [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Whether flowers accumulate Si and what the implications may be was largely unknown. We analysed the flowers separated into their different anatomical parts, and leaves of different taxa. We conclude that flowers contain Si, in large amounts for some species, and hence the function of this element warrants more attention.

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Duckweeds: Model organisms for research on plant sterols and steroids. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Duckweeds (Lemnaceae), the fastest‐growing angiosperms and promising vegan protein source, offer a powerful model to address key questions in plant physiology. This article highlights their potential for dissecting the biosynthesis and function of phytosterols, sterol conjugates, brassinosteroids, and specialized steroidal metabolites, such as ...
