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.

Evolution, Systematics and Classification of Commelinales (Commelinids, Monocots) Based on a Giant Morphological Taxon-Character Matrix [PDF]
PlantsDespite being strongly recovered as monophyletic by molecular studies, Commelinales completely lacks any morphological support or circumscription. It is also the Monocot order that suffered the most striking changes across different classification ...

The complete chloroplast genome of Pollia japonica (Commelinaceae) from Southeast China [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The complete chloroplast genome of Pollia japonica, a medicinal herb native to East Asia was characterized. The size of the chloroplast genome is 165,076 bp in length with a large single copy (LSC) of 90,722 bp, a small single copy (SSC) of 19,146 bp ...

Historical biogeography and plastome evolution of Commelinaceae Mirb. (Commelinales) corroborate the East Gondwanan origins [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Commelinaceae are a Pantropical monocot family comprising ca. 36 genera and 810 species. Due to the high morphological variation and limited sampling, the relationships within the family remain unclear.

A reference genome of Commelinales provides insights into the commelinids evolution and global spread of water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes) [PDF]
GigaScienceAbstract Commelinales belongs to the commelinids clade, which also comprises Poales that includes the most important monocot species, such as rice, wheat, and maize. No reference genome of Commelinales is currently available. Water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes or Eichhornia crassipes), a member of Commelinales, is one of the ...

Population genomics reveal apomixis in a novel system: uniclonal female populations dominate the tropical forest herb family, Hanguanaceae (Commelinales) [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2020 AbstractThe abundance of apomixis in tropical plant genera is poorly understood, and this affects the understanding of speciation and evolution. Hanguanaceae is a tropical monogeneric, dioecious plant family. All but two species are solitary herbs with no capability to spread vegetatively.

Total evidence phylogeny of Pontederiaceae (Commelinales) sheds light on the necessity of its recircumscription and synopsis of Pontederia L. [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2018 A total evidence phylogeny for Pontederiaceae is herein presented based on new morphological and previously published molecular data. Our results led us to re-circumscribe Pontederia to include Monochoria, Pontederia s.s. and the polyphyletic Eichhornia.
