A comprehensive phylogenomic study of the monocot order Commelinales, with a new classification of Commelinaceae [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2021 PremiseResolving relationships within order Commelinales has posed quite a challenge, as reflected in its unstable infra‐familial classification. Thus, we investigated (1) relationships across families and genera of Commelinales; (2) phylogenetic placement of never‐before sequenced genera; (3) how well off‐target plastid data integrate with other ...

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‐

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.
