Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...

Evolutionary History and Taxonomy of the \u3cem\u3eCuscuta umbellata\u3c/em\u3e complex (Convolvulaceae): Evidence of Extensive Hybridization from Discordant Nuclear and Plastid Phylogenies [PDF]
, 2010 The Cuscuta umbellata complex is one of the 15 major clades recently circumscribed in C. subg. Grammica. Most of its members occur in North AMerican and the Caribbean (C. desmouliniana, C. lacerata, C. lacerata, C. leptantha, C.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Herbicide impacts on exotic grasses and a population of the critically endangered herb "Calystegia affinis" (Convolvulaceae) on Lord Howe Island [PDF]
, 2013 Introduced perennial grasses are capable of altering the habitat of native species, causing reductions in population size and vigour, and potentially affecting life-history processes such as survival, pollination and seedling recruitment. We examined the

Evolutionary mobility and genetic dynamics of MORFFO genes: shuttling among ancient plant lineages
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1248-1264, April 2026.Summary Plastid genomes (plastomes) of land plants are characterized by their architectural and genic content stability. However, fern plastomes exhibit unexpected dynamism, characterized by the presence of mobile protein‐coding genes (CDS) – Mobile Open Reading Frames in Fern Organelles (MORFFOs). We investigate the evolutionary dynamics of MORFFOs in
