Resurrection of Sorbustapashana (Rosaceae) based on molecular and morphological evidence. [PDF]

PhytoKeys
Sorbus tapashana (Rosaceae) from Taibai Shan, Qinling, China, has been treated as a synonym of S. tianschanica. Both species belong to a distinctive group characterized by white tomentose buds, relatively large flowers, and red fruits. However, these two

Phylogeny of Maleae (Rosaceae) Based on Multiple Chloroplast Regions: Implications to Genera Circumscription [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2018
Maleae consists of economically and ecologically important plants. However, there are considerable disputes on generic circumscription due to the lack of a reliable phylogeny at generic level.

Crataegus ×ninae-celottiae and C. ×cogswellii (Rosaceae, Maleae), two spontaneously formed intersectional nothospecies [PDF]

PhytoKeys, 2014
Crataegus monogyna Jacq. is naturalized in North America, where it has hybridized with native diploid hawthorns at least twice. We provide names for the two nothospecies (as well as for the corresponding nothosections and nothoseries), referring to ...

The PbrMADS1-PbrMYB169 complex has uniquely emerged to regulate lignification of stone cells in pear. [PDF]

J Integr Plant Biol
Genome‐wide association study in pear identified a SEP3‐subfamily transcription factor, PbrMADS1, which interacts with PbrMYB169 to regulate stone cell lignification. The methionine at position 63 in PbrMADS1 was essential for this interaction. This amino acid variation may underlie the functional divergence of homologous SEP3 genes among Rosaceae ...

A near-gapless genome assembly of Pseudocydonia sinensis uncovers unique phenylpropanoid pathways. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Pseudocydonia sinensis, commonly known as Chinese quince, belongs to the Rosaceae family and is closely related to apple and pear. Despite its botanical significance, genomic resources for this species remain limited. We present a high‐quality, chromosome‐scale, and haplotype‐resolved genome assembly of P.

Rediscovery of Crataegus pisifera (Rosaceae: Maleae)

Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, 2022
Field searches in 2021 resulted in rediscovery of the pea-fruited hawthorn, Crataegus pisifera Sarg. (C. succulenta var. pisifera (Sarg.) Kruschke), a Vermont endemic known with confidence only from the type collections made in 1901. Collections made throughout the 2021 growing season from the type locality and from new populations nearby confirm its ...

Temporal Patterns of Honeybee Foraging in a Diverse Floral Landscape Revealed Using Pollen DNA Metabarcoding of Honey [PDF]

, 2022
Understanding the plants pollinators use through the year is vital to support pollinator populations and mitigate for declines in floral resources due to habitat loss.

Temporal change in floral availability leads to periods of resource limitation and affects diet specificity in a generalist pollinator

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6363-6376, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Generalist species are core components of ecological networks and crucial for the maintenance of biodiversity. Generalist species and networks are expected to be more resilient, and therefore understanding the dynamics of specialization and generalization in ecological networks is a key focus in a time of rapid global change.
