C4 eudicots are not younger than C4 monocots [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2011 C(4) photosynthesis is a plant adaptation to high levels of photorespiration. Physiological models predict that atmospheric CO(2) concentration selected for C(4) grasses only after it dropped below a critical threshold during the Oligocene (∼30 Ma), a hypothesis supported by phylogenetic and molecular dating analyses.

First evidence for a massive extinction event affecting bees close to the K-T boundary.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Bees and eudicot plants both arose in the mid-late Cretaceous, and their co-evolutionary relationships have often been assumed as an important element in the rise of flowering plants. Given the near-complete dependence of bees on eudicots we would expect

Nature Communications, 2021 Pre-meiotic anthers of monocots accumulate phased, small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) that are absent in many well-studied model eudicots. Here, the authors show that such 21-nt phasiRNAs are in fact present in diverse eudicot species including ...

tRNA functional signatures classify plastids as late-branching cyanobacteria. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundEukaryotes acquired the trait of oxygenic photosynthesis through endosymbiosis of the cyanobacterial progenitor of plastid organelles. Despite recent advances in the phylogenomics of Cyanobacteria, the phylogenetic root of plastids remains ...

A reappraisal of the phylogenetic placement of the Aquilegia whole-genome duplication
Genome Biology, 2020 The accurate placement of an ancient whole-genome duplication (WGD) in relation to the lineage divergence is important. Here, we re-investigated the Aquilegia coerulea WGD and found it is more likely lineage-specific rather than shared by all eudicots.

What newton did not discover about falling palm fruit [PDF]
, 2012 The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), a monocotyledonous species in the family Arecaceae, has not only an extraordinarily oil rich fleshy mesocarp, and presents an original model to examine the ripening regulatory networks in a monocot fruit tissue.

TRAPID : an efficient online tool for the functional and comparative analysis of de novo RNA-Seq transcriptomes [PDF]
, 2013 Transcriptome analysis through next-generation sequencing technologies allows the generation of detailed gene catalogs for non-model species, at the cost of new challenges with regards to computational requirements and bioinformatics expertise.
