The importance of integrating herbarium records into conservation plans: a case study on Honduran ferns and lycophytes

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Herbarium collections are powerful, yet underutilized, tools for global biodiversity conservation and protected area management. By integrating digitized herbarium records with existing biodiversity data, previously unknown plant species were uncovered, exposing critical gaps in conservation knowledge.

A Review of Galls on Ferns and Lycophytes

open access: yesEnvironmental Entomology, 2018
Fern-insect interactions have not received the same attention as angiosperm-insect interactions have. It has even been stated that ferns may have very few interactions with animals because of their lack of flowers, fruits, and seeds. Consequently, for many decades fern-insect interactions have been overlooked and underestimated, especially for highly ...

Digitisation of herbarium specimens to the benefit of research: An African perspective focusing on South Africa and Western Indian Ocean Island states

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

Plant Genomics: Homoplasy Heaven in a Lycophyte Genome [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2011
The recent genomic sequencing of Selaginella, a member of the lycophyte lineage of vascular plants, opens up all kinds of new opportunities to examine the patterns of evolutionary innovation and the creation of the basic bauplan of plants.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Harnessing S. cerevisiae to advance the engineering of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Heterologous expression systems have been instrumental in furthering our understanding of plant RNA editing proteins. In this commentary, we discuss how the establishment of yeast as a model for studying plant RNA editing by Ramanathan et al. could advance the engineering of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins, and how in return pentatricopeptide repeat ...
