Genome size evolution in the Archaea [PDF]
Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2018 What determines variation in genome size, gene content and genetic diversity at the broadest scales across the tree of life? Much of the existing work contrasts eukaryotes with prokaryotes, the latter represented mainly by Bacteria. But any general theory of genome evolution must also account for the Archaea, a diverse and ecologically important group ...

Retrotransposon Proliferation Coincident with the Evolution of Dioecy in Asparagus
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Current phylogenetic sampling reveals that dioecy and an XY sex chromosome pair evolved once, or possibly twice, in the genus Asparagus. Although there appear to be some lineage-specific polyploidization events, the base chromosome number of 2n = 2× = 20

Whence Came These Plants Most Foul? Phylogenomics and Biogeography of Lowiaceae (Zingiberales)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Lowiaceae (order Zingiberales) is a small family of forest herbs in Southeast Asia. All species belong to the genus Orchidantha. They are known for possessing orchid-like flowers that are smelly, apparently mimicking dead animals, feces, or mushrooms ...

Genomes and Transcriptomes of Duckweeds
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018 Duckweeds (Lemnaceae family) are the smallest flowering plants that adapt to the aquatic environment. They are regarded as the promising sustainable feedstock with the characteristics of high starch storage, fast propagation, and global distribution. The

Distribution and variability of the Balkan endemic Geum bulgaricum (Rosaceae) - a species of European concern [PDF]
Botanica Serbica, 2018 As a European endemic restricted to a few European countries, Geum bulgaricum is here treated as a “target species” or “species of European concern”. Although of great international significance, its distribution is insufficiently known.

Is There an Upper Limit to Genome Size? [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2017 At 50-fold the size of the human genome (3 Gb), the staggeringly huge genome of 147.3 Gb recently discovered in the fern Tmesipteris obliqua is comparable in size to those of the other plant and animal record-holders (i.e., Paris japonica, a flowering plant with a genome size of 148.8 Gb, and Protopterus aethiopicus, a lungfish with a genome of 130 Gb).

Phylogeny more than plant height and leaf area explains variance in seed mass
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Although variation in seed mass can be attributed to other plant functional traits such as plant height, leaf size, genome size, growth form, leaf N and phylogeny, until now, there has been little information on the relative contributions of these ...

Disentangling Crocus Series Verni and Its Polyploids
Biology, 2023 Spring crocuses, the eleven species within Crocus series Verni (Iridaceae), consist of di- and tetraploid cytotypes. Among them is a group of polyploids from southeastern Europe with yet-unclear taxonomic affiliation. Crocuses are generally characterized
