Phylogenomic profiles of whole-genome duplications in Poaceae and landscape of differential duplicate retention and losses among major Poaceae lineages [PDF]
Poaceae members shared a whole-genome duplication called rho. However, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of the rho-derived duplicates among Poaceae lineages and implications in adaptive evolution.

Cryptochloa stapfii (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Olyreae), a new neotropical herbaceous bamboo from Panama [PDF]
Cryptochloa stapfii, a new herbaceous bamboo species from Panama is described. This new bambusoid grass inhabits semi-shaded lowland forests in Bocas del Toro (Panama) and is related to C. dressleri Soderstr., an endemic species from Panama. This new taxon increases the number of species in Cryptochloa to eight, most of them present in Panama.

Cryptic speciation in the herbaceous bamboo genus Piresia (Poaceae, Olyreae)
AbstractPiresia, a small genus of herbaceous bamboos, has a geographical disjunction between the Caribbean and northern/western South America and the north-eastern Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Piresia leptophylla is reported from western Amazonia (WA) and the north-eastern Atlantic Forest (NAF), but its occurrence in western Amazonia is questionable ...
