A revision and one new species of Begonia L. (Begoniaceae, Cucurbitales) in Northeast India
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2018 Following a taxonomic revision of Begonia L. (Begoniaceae, Cucurbitales) from Northeast India based on 332 herbarium specimens, 38 species are confirmed to occur in the region, of which ten are endemic.

Longevity in plants impacts phylogenetic and population dynamics. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Phylogenies of long‐lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene‐tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We examine this with simulations and through empirical examination of several large seed plant clades.

The Role of Plant Evolutionary History in Shaping the Variation in Specific Leaf Area Across China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we analyzed the influences of climatic conditions and soil properties on the specific leaf area (SLA), calculated the phylogenetic signals of SLA, and quantified the relative contributions of evolutionary history to the spatial variation in SLA. We underscored the importance of evolutionary history in shaping the spatial variation of SLA

Legume NCRs and nodule-specific defensins of actinorhizal plants-Do they share a common origin?
PLoS ONE, 2022 The actinorhizal plant Datisca glomerata (Datiscaceae, Cucurbitales) establishes a root nodule symbiosis with actinobacteria from the earliest branching symbiotic Frankia clade. A subfamily of a gene family encoding nodule-specific defensin-like cysteine-
