Continental‐scale interactions of Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts
Abstract Premise Showy mistletoes are obligate hemiparasites of woody plants. Host specificity is therefore a fundamental determinant of mistletoe diversity, persistence, geographic distribution, and abundance. Investigations of host specificity in Australian Loranthaceae have focused mostly on host range (taxon counts), but additional insights into ...

Determination of Veratrum alkaloid contents in three Veratrum species by HPLC‐MS/MS
Abstract Introduction Veratrum alkaloids have gained attention due to their toxic effects and potential pharmaceutical applications, particularly in cancer and cardiology. Over 200 alkaloids are found in species of the Veratrum genus. The alkaloid composition and concentrations can greatly vary in plants depending on factors like species, plant part ...

SUMMARY Plants produce a staggering array of chemicals that are the basis for organismal function and important human nutrients and medicines. However, it is poorly defined how these compounds evolved and are distributed across the plant kingdom, hindering a systematic view and understanding of plant chemical diversity.

Insights into phytochemistry and bioactive potential of saffron (Crocus sativus L) petal
Saffron floral waste exhibits potent clinical applications, including anti‐bacterial, antifungal, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐depressant, antidiabetic, hepato‐protective, and antioxidant activity. Saffron floral wastes are rich in bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, glycosides, and kaempferol, which are responsible for their phytochemical

Identifying predictors of translocation success in rare plant species
Abstract The fundamental goal of a rare plant translocation is to create self‐sustaining populations with the evolutionary resilience to persist in the long term. Yet, most plant translocation syntheses focus on a few factors influencing short‐term benchmarks of success (e.g., survival and reproduction).

The origin and speciation of orchids
Summary Orchids constitute one of the most spectacular radiations of flowering plants. However, their origin, spread across the globe, and hotspots of speciation remain uncertain due to the lack of an up‐to‐date phylogeographic analysis. We present a new Orchidaceae phylogeny based on combined high‐throughput and Sanger sequencing data, covering all ...

Tracing the History of Angiosperm Systematics through Liliales and Asparagales
The field of systematics is central to how we understand, classify, and discuss organisms and their evolution. Systematics directly or indirectly touches every branch of biology. Over the last 50 years, methods in the field have been continually reshaped by advancing technologies, transitioning from primarily relying on morphological data to utilizing ...
