Floral structure and systematics in four orders of rosids, including a broad survey of floral mucilage cells [PDF]
, 2018 Phylogenetic studies have greatly impacted upon the circumscription of taxa within the rosid clade, resulting in novel relationships at all systematic levels. In many cases the floral structure of these taxa has never been compared, and in some families,

Which morphological characteristics are most influenced by the host matrix in downy mildews? : A case study in Pseudoperonospora cubensis [PDF]
, 2012 Before the advent of molecular phylogenetics, species concepts in the downy mildews, an economically important group of obligate biotrophic oomycete pathogens, have mostly been based upon host range and morphology.

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe quercicola (Erysiphaceae) has a complex taxonomic history that has long complicated assessments of its geographic distribution and host associations. Although knowledge of the global host range of this species has expanded substantially over the past two decades, sequencing‐confirmed records from North ...

Elaiophores: their taxonomic distribution, morphology and functions
Acta Botânica BrasílicaElaiophores are floral glands that secrete non-volatile oils as a reward for their pollinators. Their secretions mediate a specialized interaction between oil-producing plants and a few species of oil-collecting bees - Apidae and Melittidae.

Progress and problems in the assessment of flower morphology in higher-level systematics [PDF]
, 2018 Floral features used for characterization of higher-level angiosperm taxa (families, orders, and above) are assessed following a comparison of earlier (precladistic/premolecular) and current classifications.

First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades [PDF]
, 2018 A survey of our own comparative studies on several larger clades of rosids and over 1400 original publications on rosid flowers shows that floral structural features support to various degrees the supraordinal relationships in rosids proposed by ...

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.), an evergreen legume native to West Asia and long cultivated throughout the Mediterranean basin, is valued for its drought tolerance, nutritious pods, and ecological value. Despite its economic and environmental importance, genomic resources for this species have been limited.

INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS [PDF]
, 2016 Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by ...

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1441-1457, November 2025.Fossil calibration reveals recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny indicated Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes.

Evolution and loss of long-fringed petals [PDF]
, 2012 Background: The Cucurbitaceae genus Trichosanthes comprises 90–100 species that occur from India to Japan and southeast to Australia and Fiji. Most species have large white or pale yellow petals with conspicuously fringed margins, the fringes sometimes ...
