Genome-Wide Evidence for Complex Hybridization and Demographic History in a Group of Cycas From China

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Cycads represent one of the most ancestral living seed plants as well as one of the most threatened plant groups in the world. South China is a major center and potential origin of Cycas, the most rapidly diversified lineage of cycads.

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Evaluating the empirical basis for threat attribution in the IUCN Red List

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the impacts of different threats on species is key to successful conservation interventions and policies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses threats to species, and the organization's Red List of Threatened Species is a key conservation tool.

Integrative phylogenomics and morphology reveal the evolution and biogeography of Encephalartos (Zamiaceae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We aimed to conduct phylogenetic analyses of Encephalartos, a cycad genus endemic to Africa, using 3545 single‐copy nuclear genes extracted from transcriptome data, covering 64/65 of the recognized species, along with inference of divergence times using two secondary calibration points.

Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 401-410, March 2026.
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Genome‐Wide Association Study Reveals the Genetic Architecture and Key Drought and Yield Related Genes in Common Vetch (Vicia sativa L.)

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1082-1097, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is one of the most economically important annual pasture legumes worldwide. Many factors affect the yield of common vetch; however, the genetic architecture and gene functions associated with common vetch yield have not been explored. On the basis of 115.53 million single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 18.55

Stem Carbon Dioxide Efflux of Lignophytes Exceeds That of Cycads and Arborescent Monocots

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
Tree stem CO2 efflux (Es) can be substantial and the factors controlling ecosystem-level Es are required to fully understand the carbon cycle and construct models that predict atmospheric CO2 dynamics.

Electrochemical Hofmann Rearrangement to Hydrazides

open access: yesChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 4, 17 February 2026.
We report the first electrochemical Hofmann rearrangement to prepare hydrazides from simple N,N‐disubstituted ureas. Enabled by LiCl as both halogen source and supporting electrolyte, the protocol is scalable and broadly tolerant. The products serve as useful precursors to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Discovery of Cyanobacteria Associated with Cycads and Description of Three Novel Species in Desmonostoc (Nostocaceae)

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Heterocyte-forming cyanobacteria form symbiotic relationships with several lineages of plants. Here, twenty (20) strains of endosymbiotic cyanobacteria (cyanobionts) with Nostoc-like morphologies were isolated from the highly specialized coralloid roots ...
