The complete chloroplast genome of Eichhornia crassipes (Pontederiaceae) and phylogeny of commelinids [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 Eichhornia crassipes is a floating aquatic plant native to the American tropics. Here we reported and characterized the first complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Eichhornia crassipes and analyzed the phylogenomic relationship of Commelinids based on ...

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 ...

Phylogenomic resolution of order- and family-level monocot relationships using 602 single-copy nuclear genes and 1375 BUSCO genes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 We assess relationships among 192 species in all 12 monocot orders and 72 of 77 families, using 602 conserved single-copy (CSC) genes and 1375 benchmarking single-copy ortholog (BUSCO) genes extracted from genomic and transcriptomic datasets ...

p-Coumaroylation of lignin occurs outside of commelinid monocots in the eudicot genus Morus (mulberry). [PDF]
Plant Physiol, 2023 AbstractThe presence of p-coumarate (pCA) in plant cell walls is generally considered to be a trait present only in commelinid monocots. Here, we show that this long-held overgeneralizing assumption is incorrect and that mulberry trees (Morus) are eudicot plants that have lignins derived in part from monolignol pCA esters.

RNA editing in the chloroplast of Asian Palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 We have identified 46 RNA editing sites located in 20 chloroplast (cp) genes of Borassus flabellifer (Asian Palmyra palm), family Arecaceae, and tested these genes for supporting phylogenetic study among the commelinids. Among the 46 sites, 43 sites were

Identification of universal grass genes and estimates of their monocot-/commelinid-/grass-specificity. [PDF]
Bioinform AdvAbstract Motivation Where experiments identify sets of grass genes of unknown function, e.g. underlying a QTL or co-expressed in a transcriptome, it is useful to know which of these genes are common to all grasses (universal) and whether they likely have monocot-/commelinid-/grass-specific function.

Conserved sequence motifs in the abiotic stress response protein late embryogenesis abundant 3. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 LEA3 proteins, a family of abiotic stress proteins, are defined by the presence of a tryptophan-containing motif, which we name the W-motif. We use Pfam LEA3 sequences to search the Phytozome database to create a W-motif definition and a LEA3 sequence ...

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 ...

The evolution of CHROMOMETHYLASES and gene body DNA methylation in plants [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2017 Background The evolution of gene body methylation (gbM), its origins, and its functional consequences are poorly understood. By pairing the largest collection of transcriptomes (>1000) and methylomes (77) across Viridiplantae, we provide novel insights ...
