The role of geophytes in stone age hunter-gatherer subsistence and human evolution in the greater cape floristic region [PDF]
, 2022 It has been hypothesised that an adaptive shift to a starch-rich diet was an important driver in human evolution and supported the energetic requirements to sustain brain development throughout hominin evolution.

Cryopreservation and synthetic seed production in ornamental flower bulbs (geophytes)
, 2019 Ornamental flower bulbs (geophytes) are divided into five groups: 1) bulbs; 2) corms; 3) tubers; 4) tuberous root; and 5) rhizomes. They grow naturally in many places and ornamental geophytes are important floricultural crops in the world.

Lipidomics of orchid seeds: from development to storage
Plant Biology, EarlyView.The study tracked lipid changes from pollination to storage in two orchid species. Although both were desiccation‐tolerant and storable, differences in saturated and unsaturated fatty acid proportions during development led to different moisture contents and germination capacities.

The African Mole‐Rat Genus Cryptomys and Its Species: Distinct in Their Genes and Habitats
Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACTThe African mole‐rat genus Cryptomys comprises five morphologically cryptic lineages distributed across South Africa and in Zimbabwe, historically treated as subspecies of C. hottentotus (C. h. hottentotus, C. h. mahali, C. h. natalensis, C. h. pretoriae and C. h. nimrodi).

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.This review is of the recently revised circumscriptions of the Pleurophyllum Hook.f. group and Shawia J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. of subtribe Celmisiinae, both centred in New Zealand. Recognition of Shawia is supported, and phylogenetic data recover seven well‐supported subclades treated as infrageneric sections.

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT Macrophytes are vulnerable to various factors in their natural ecosystems, including climatic, ecological, and anthropogenic changes. This study aims to document how these factors influence floristic composition. Four sites were investigated in the Boeny Region of northwest Madagascar: Ambatoboeny, Marovoay, Ankarafantsika National Park, and ...

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Scilla s.l. (Asparagaceae: Scilloideae) represents a notable Mediterranean geophyte radiation, yet genus delimitation in subtribe Hyacinthinae has long suffered from inconsistent and conflicting generic concepts. A limited set of informative morphological characters and recurrent shifts in circumscription have repeatedly hindered progress ...

Agronomy, 2020 Geophytes are an increasingly widely used group of plants. Its high biodiversity, however, significantly impacts the cultivation process. Therefore, every new insight into the behavioral aspects of each single species is crucial for production.

Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post‐mining landscapes
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1899-1911, October 2026.Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...
