Building a robust backbone for Astragalus using a clade‐specific target enrichment bait set
Abstract Premise With over 3100 species, Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) has long fascinated botanists as the largest genus of flowering plants. With an origin in the Middle Miocene, Astragalus has one of the highest diversification rates known in flowering plants.

A new spin on chemotaxonomy: Using non‐proteogenic amino acids as a test case
Abstract Premise Specialized metabolites serve various roles for plants and humans. Unlike core metabolites, specialized metabolites are restricted to certain plant lineages; thus, in addition to their ecological functions, specialized metabolites can serve as diagnostic markers of plant lineages.

Summary The butterfly‐shaped keel flower is a highly successful floral form in angiosperms. These flowers steer the mechanical interaction with bees and thus are hypothesized to accelerate pollinator‐driven diversification. The exceptionally labile evolution of keel flowers in Papilionoideae (Fabaceae) provides a suitable system to test this hypothesis.

CSGM Designer: a platform for designing cross-species intron-spanning genic markers linked with genome information of legumes. [PDF]
BackgroundGenetic markers are tools that can facilitate molecular breeding, even in species lacking genomic resources. An important class of genetic markers is those based on orthologous genes, because they can guide hypotheses about conserved gene ...

Humans and honey bees have a long history of interaction to yield valued products and services. However, honey bees are under pressure from changes in vegetation, agricultural practices and climate change. We investigate if pasture legumes can be harnessed to support honey bees. We use a diverse set of species that originated from the Mediterranean and

Control of Rhizobia Endosymbiosis by Coupling ER Expansion with Enhanced UPR
This study reconstructs legume nodule symbiotic cells using three‐dimensional (3D) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and uncovers that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) expansion and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) are two key events in rhizobia accommodation.
