Plastid genomes and deep relationships among the commelinid monocot angiosperms [PDF]
Cladistics, 2012 AbstractThe commelinid monocots comprise the orders Arecales (A), Commelinales (C), Poales sensu Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III (APGIII) (P), Zingiberales (Z), plus the unplaced family Dasypogonaceae (D), collectively containing numerous economically and ecologically important species and encompassing enormous morphological diversity.

Comparative genome analysis and phylogenetic relationship of order Liliales insight from the complete plastid genome sequences of two Lilies (Lilium longiflorum and Alstroemeria aurea). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Monocots are one of the most diverse, successful and economically important clades of angiosperms. We attempt to analyse the complete plastid genome sequences of two lilies and their lengths were 152,793bp in Lilium longiflorum (Liliaceae) and 155,510bp ...

A new commelinid monocot seed fossil from the early Eocene previously identified as Solanaceae [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2018 Premise of the StudyFossils provide minimum age estimates for extant lineages. Here we critically evaluate Cantisolanum daturoides Reid & Chandler and two other early putative seed fossils of Solanaceae, an economically important plant family in the Asteridae.MethodsThree earliest seed fossil taxa of Solanaceae from the London Clay Formation ...

Commelinid Monocotyledon Lignins Are Acylated by p-Coumarate [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2018 Commelinid monocotyledons are a monophyletic clade differentiated from other monocotyledons by the presence of cell wall-bound ferulate and p-coumarate. The Poaceae, or grass family, is a member of this group, and most of the p-coumarate in the cell walls of this family acylates lignin.

Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science, 2023 The chalcone synthase (CHS) gene families are known to be conserved in plants and have been well-studied in many plants, and they have an important role in the physiological and biological processes of plants. One of the studied CHS gene families is the CHS1 gene. CHS1 gene is known for its function in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway.

Chromosome numbers and polyploidy events in Korean non-commelinids monocots: A contribution to plant systematics [PDF]
Korean Journal of Plant Taxonomy, 2018 The evolution of chromosome numbers and the karyotype structure is a prominent feature of plant genomes contributing to or at least accompanying plant diversification and eventually leading to speciation. Polyploidy, the multiplication of whole chromosome sets, is widespread and ploidy-level variation is frequent at all taxonomic levels, including ...

Monocotyledonous plants graft at the embryonic root-shoot interface. [PDF]
, 2022 Grafting is possible in both animals and plants. Although in animals the process requires surgery and is often associated with rejection of non-self, in plants grafting is widespread, and has been used since antiquity for crop improvement1.
