ABSTRACT Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water‐efficient photosynthetic strategy involving a coordinated suite of complex traits including metabolic, anatomical and regulatory aspects that shift across the diel cycle. While CAM has evolved repeatedly in land plants, the evolutionary routes enabling this convergence remain elusive.

Complete chloroplast genome of Isoetes sinensis, an endemic fern in China
Isoetes sinensis is the only aquatic pteridophyte in China with high research value of phylogeny. It is in endangered status. A conservation strategy is therefore imperative for this endangered pteridophyte.

This study examined the germination adaptations to hypoxia of species along a plant zonation in Mediterranean temporary ponds, highlighting the key traits that support their survival and regeneration. Abstract Mediterranean temporary ponds (MTPs) are dynamic habitats where low levels of dissolved oxygen can significantly impact plant life.

Macrophyte commonness and co‐occurrence were quantified to support objective classifications of species distributions in Midwestern lakes. This framework provides a practical tool for conservation prioritization (e.g. identifying species that are rare at regional and local scales that may be more susceptible to local disturbance), invasive species risk

Habitat‐Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) in the Northeastern United States
We developed local and regional models for Maine and New Hampshire that may be used to focus bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) surveys on areas with high predicted habitat suitability. This is significant because bridle shiners receive protection or concern status in thirteen states and two Canadian provinces: Limited data show that bridle shiners ...

Cryptic CAM photosynthesis in Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia, Y. jaegeriana)
Summary Joshua trees are long‐lived perennial monocots native to the Mojave Desert in North America. Composed of two species, Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana (Asparagaceae), Joshua trees are imperiled by climate change, with decreases in suitable habitat predicted under future climate change scenarios.

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their

Morphology and ultrastructure of megaspores and microspores of Isoetes sehnemii Fuchs (Lycophyta)
The morphology and wall ultrastructure of megaspores and microspores of Isoetes sehnemii that grows in Brazil were analyzed as part of the study of the Isoetaceae present in Southern South America. The observations were performed with light, scanning and
