Phylogeny and divergence times of the African and Malagasy Podocarpus (Podocarpaceae) and their taxonomic and biogeographic implications

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 6, Page 1335-1350, December 2025.
Abstract Podocarpus is the most speciose genus of the podocarp family (Podocarpaceae) widely distributed in the mountain forests of subtropical and tropical Asia, the Neotropics and Australasia, where its members have been shown to have had multiple origins.

Updated Taxonomy of Iris scariosa (Iridaceae) Inferred from Morphological and Chloroplast DNA Sequence Data with Remarks on Classification of Iris subg. Iris

Plants
Iris scariosa is a rhizomatous perennial whose taxonomy and distribution range still remain unclear. The results of our examination of literature, specimens, and wild plants have shown that I. glaucescens, described from Kazakhstan, and I.

Nomenclature and typification of sectional names in Carex (Cyperaceae)

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 6, Page 1543-1568, December 2025.
Abstract This paper presents an updated survey of all the published names at the section rank in Carex and its formerly accepted satellite genera. We included related names at other ranks when relevant. We address validity, legitimacy, priority, typification, and – if relevant – synonymy.

Corrigendum of Zhao et al. (2020): a revised infrageneric classification of Lepisorus (Polypodiaceae).

Cladistics, 2020
Here, we publish Lepisorus sect. Paragramma (Blume) C.F. Zhao, R. Wei & X.C. Zhang as a combinatio nova to replace the section name in Zhao et al. (2020), which was published as a status nova and turned out to be an invalid name, because we cited an ...

Molecular phylogeny, genome sizes and chromosome numbers in melic grasses and its relatives (Pooideae, Poaceae) with a revised classification of the genus Melica

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 6, Page 1421-1437, December 2025.
Abstract The genus Melica comprises around 90 species, which are widespread throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. In contrast to numerous species complexes in the grass subfamily Pooideae, the genus Melica forms a very homogeneous group of mainly diploid species with a uniform basic chromosome number of x = 9.

Banana breeding by genome design

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 11, Page 2816-2847, November 2025.
Bananas and plantains likely originated from hybridizations of four wild Musa species. This review highlights advances in banana genomics, genetics, and breeding, emphasizing genome sequencing breakthroughs and genomic‐assisted tools like selection and gene editing, and explores future prospects for improving key agronomic traits.

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1441-1457, November 2025.
Fossil calibration reveals recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny indicated Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes.

How evolution repeatedly builds complexity: a case study with C4 photosynthesis in Blepharis (Acanthaceae)

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 2092-2110, November 2025.
Summary With over 60 parallel origins representing evolutionary replicates, C4 photosynthesis is well‐suited for studying complex trait evolution. However, lineages with diverse C3–C4 intermediate species are scarce, leaving uncertainty in models of C4 evolution.
