The shape of aroma: Measuring and modeling citrus oil gland distribution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 698-711, September 2023., 2023 Citrus are intrinsically connected to human health and culture, preventing human diseases like scurvy and inspiring sacred rituals. Citrus fruits come in a stunning number of different sizes and shapes, ranging from small clementines to oversized pummelos, and fruits display a vast diversity of flavors and aromas.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Premise The specialized metabolites of plants are recognized as key chemical traits in mediating the ecology and evolution of sundry plant–biotic interactions, from pollination to seed predation. Intra‐ and interspecific patterns of specialized metabolite diversity have been studied extensively in leaves, but the diverse biotic interactions ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Premise A major goal of systematic biology is to uncover the evolutionary history of organisms and translate that knowledge into stable classification systems. Here, we integrate three sets of genome‐wide data to resolve phylogenetic relationships in Cornaceae (containing only Cornus s.l.), reconstruct the biogeographic history of the clade ...

Comparative anatomy and genetic bases of fruit development in selected Rubiaceae (Gentianales)
American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 10, Page 1838-1860, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Premise The Rubiaceae are ideal for studying the diversity of fruits that develop from flowers with inferior ovary. We aimed to identify morpho‐anatomical changes during fruit development that distinguish those derived from the carpel versus the extra‐carpellary tissues.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 7, Page 1217-1233, July 2021., 2021 Premise Speciation not associated with morphological shifts is challenging to detect unless molecular data are employed. Using Sanger‐sequencing approaches, the Lomatium packardiae/L. anomalum subcomplex within the larger Lomatium triternatum complex could not be resolved. Therefore, we attempt to resolve these boundaries here.

Reconstructing Dipsacales phylogeny using Angiosperms353: issues and insights
American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 7, Page 1122-1142, July 2021., 2021 Premise Phylogenetic relationships within major angiosperm clades are increasingly well resolved, but largely informed by plastid data. Areas of poor resolution persist within the Dipsacales, including placement of Heptacodium and Zabelia, and relationships within the Caprifolieae and Linnaeeae, hindering our interpretation of morphological evolution ...

New Phytologist, Volume 230, Issue 6, Page 2154-2163, June 2021., 2021 Summary The encapsulation of seeds in hard coats and fruit walls (pericarp layers) fulfils protective and dispersal functions in many plant families. In angiosperms, packaging structures possess a remarkable range of different morphologies and functionalities, as illustrated by thermo and hygro‐responsive seed pods and appendages, as well as ...

Virus‐induced gene silencing as a tool for functional studies in Cleome violacea
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021 Premise Cleomaceae is emerging as a promising family to investigate a wide range of phenomena, such as C4 photosynthesis and floral diversity. However, functional techniques are lacking for elucidating this diversity. Herein, we establish virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) as a method of generating functional data for Cleome violacea, bolstering ...

Fossil palm reading: using fruits to reveal the deep roots of palm diversity
American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 472-494, March 2021., 2021 PREMISE Fossils are essential for understanding evolutionary history because they provide direct evidence of past diversity and geographic distributions. However, resolving systematic relationships between fossils and extant taxa, an essential step for many macroevolutionary studies, requires extensive comparative work on morphology and anatomy.
