Molecular recognition in plant root endosymbiosis

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Root endosymbiosis is one of the most intimate types of plant–microbe interactions in which a symbiont is hosted within a living plant cell. In this symbiosis, nitrogen‐fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi support plant nutrient provisioning in exchange for carbohydrates and lipids.

Diversity and distribution of lycophytes and ferns in China [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Science, 2016
The species catalogue and phylogenetic arrangement are the basis of species diversity studies. We collated the latest lycophytes and ferns in China found in recent years using the system from Flora of China. There are 2,147 species, 5 subspecies, 118 varieties, 178 genera and 40 families of lycophytes and ferns in China, including 839 endemic species ...

The Evolution of the KANADI Gene Family and Leaf Development in Lycophytes and Ferns

open access: yesPlants, 2019
Leaves constitute the main photosynthetic plant organ and even though their importance is not debated, the origin and development of leaves still is.

Multilevel genomic constraints shape nuclear tRNA gene organization in plants

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are essential components of the translation machinery. Their abundance and diversity shape decoding capacity as well as the efficiency and accuracy of protein synthesis. Because tRNA abundance is encoded in the genome through tDNA copy number, chromosomal organization, and cis‐regulatory sequences controlling transcription,

Extroparvum occidentale gen. et sp. nov. and the Cretaceous diversification of Lauraceae

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Premise The fossil record of Lauraceae extends back to the Early Cretaceous and comprises numerous flowers. However, phylogenetic relationships of many of these fossil flowers remain unresolved. To better understand the early evolutionary history of Lauraceae, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of living and extinct members of the family and ...

A survey of the mycorrhization of Southeast Asian ferns and lycophytes

open access: yesPlant biology (Stuttgart, Germany), 2010
The colonisation of land by plants may not have been possible without mycorrhizae, which supply the majority of land plants with nutrients, water and other benefits. In this sense, the mycorrhization of basal groups of land plants such as ferns and lycophytes is of particular interest, yet only about 9% of fern and lycophyte species have been sampled ...

Diversity and Community Structure Underlie Divergence in Thermal Strategies Across Tropical Elevations

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We examined how community diversity and phylogenetic context are associated with plant thermal strategies along a tropical elevational gradient in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, using Pitcairnia flammea as a focal species. By integrating community surveys, phylogenetic structure, functional traits, and experimental estimates of heat and cold tolerance,

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

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1238-1255, July 2026.
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.

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.

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, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1042-1056, July 2026.
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.
