Cross‐stage single‐cell and spatial metabolome analyses reveal periderm specialization and tanshinone biosynthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza roots

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1267-1282, August 2026.
Biosynthesis and accumulation of tanshinones in the periderm of Salvia miltiorrhiza during secondary root growth. Summary Perennial herbs develop long‐lived roots that undergo repeated cycles of secondary growth, during which the periderm functions as a protective barrier and a major site of specialized metabolite accumulation.

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1188-1208, August 2026.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

Life habits and evolutionary biology of new two-winged long-proboscid scorpionflies from mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber

Nature Communications, 2019
Long-proboscid scorpionflies were associated with mid-Mesozoic gymnosperm pollination. Here, Lin et al. establish a new family of long-proboscid scorpionflies from Myanmar amber, elucidate evolutionary mechanisms of hind-wing reduction, and detail ...

Using Nuclear Genomic Data to Address Intractable Relationships and Gene Tree Discordance in an Ancient Group of Gymnosperms (Ephedra, Gnetales)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Low‐copy nuclear genes were used to address the notoriously difficult phylogeny of Ephedra. Additionally, we explored the potential effect of putative paralogy, intra‐locus recombination, and chimeric sequences on phylogenetic estimation. ABSTRACT The evolutionary history of Ephedra L.

Plant‐Trait Syndromes and Environmental Filtering Drive Biomass Ecology in Resource‐Limited Forest Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Aboveground biomass (AGB) in Pakistan's forests is primarily driven by functional dominance, with soil fertility playing a secondary but significant role, while climate effects vary across forest types. Mixed forests support the highest biomass and show the strongest influence of dominant traits, whereas climate constraints are more evident in ...

Classification of crude oil and its correlation with terrestrial plant inputs across different areas in the Xihu Depression, East China Sea Shelf basin: insights from organic geochemical evidence

Frontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionWhile crude oils in the Xihu Depression are known to originate from terrestrial sources, a systematic classification linking their geochemistry to specific plant inputs has been lacking.

Regeneration Strategies in Seed Plants: A Continuum Shaping Survival

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seed plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in part because regeneration is not a single event, but a coordinated sequence of traits acting across time and space. Here, we synthesize regeneration strategies in seed plants as a continuous, integrated framework spanning pre‐germination regulation, germination timing, seedling emergence, soil seed banking,

Tissue-specific transposon-associated small RNAs in the gymnosperm tree, Norway spruce

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Small RNAs (sRNAs) are regulatory molecules impacting on gene expression and transposon activity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are responsible for tissue-specific and environmentally-induced gene repression.

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1223-1237, July 2026.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Digitising biological collections to advance National Species Inventories: A case study from the flora of Chile

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1210-1222, July 2026.
In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.
