Divergent genetic mechanisms underlie reversals to radial floral symmetry from diverse zygomorphic flowered ancestors [PDF]
, 2013 Malpighiaceae possess flowers with a unique bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy), which is a hypothesized adaptation associated with specialization on neotropical oil bee pollinators.

Phylogeny and diversification of Valerianaceae (Dipsacales) in the southern Andes
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2012 The southern Andean clade of Valeriana provides an excellent model for the study of biogeography. Here we provide new data to help clarify phylogenetic relationships among the South American valerians, with special focus on taxa found in the southern Andes.

Comparative micromorphology and anatomy of flowers and floral secretory structures in two Viburnum species [PDF]
, 2016 In entomogamous plants, the presence and function of floral secretory structures, whose main role is to attract pollinators, is strictly associated with the pollination ecology and hence the reproductive success of the plant.

Lineage-Specific Variation in IR Boundary Shift Events, Inversions, and Substitution Rates among Caprifoliaceae s.l. (Dipsacales) Plastomes [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Caprifoliaceae s.l. plastid genomes (plastomes) show that one inversion and two inverted repeat boundary shifts occurred in the common ancestor of this family, after which the plastomes are generally conserved. This study reports plastome sequences of five additional species, Fedia cornucopiae, Valeriana fauriei, and Valerianella locusta from the ...

Barcoding success as a function of phylogenetic relatedness in Viburnum, a clade of woody angiosperms [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: The chloroplast genes matK and rbcL have been proposed as a “core” DNA barcode for identifying plant species. Published estimates of successful species identification using these loci (70-80%) may be inflated because they may have involved ...
