Explosive Radiation of Malpighiales Supports a Mid-Cretaceous Origin of Modern Tropical Rain Forests [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2005 Fossil data have been interpreted as indicating that Late Cretaceous tropical forests were open and dry adapted and that modern closed-canopy rain forest did not originate until after the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundary.

New Insights Into The Evolution of Chloroplast Genomes in Ochna Species (Ochnaceae, Malpighiales). [PDF]
Evol Bioinform Online, 2023 Ochnaceae DC. includes more than 600 species that exhibit potential values for environmental ecology, ornamental, pharmaceutical, and timber industries. Although studies on phylogeny and phytochemicals have been intensively conducted, chloroplast genome data of Ochnaceae species have not been fully explored.

Comparative floral structure and systematics of the clade of Lophopyxidaceae and Putranjivaceae (Malpighiales) [PDF]
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013 In molecular phylogenetic studies, Lophopyxidaceae and Putranjivaceae are well supported as sisters in the large rosid order Malpighiales. As the floral structure of both families is poorly known and the two families have never been compared, the present comparative study was carried out, as part of a larger project on the comparative floral structure ...

Host-to-Parasite Gene Transfer in Flowering Plants: Phylogenetic Evidence from Malpighiales [PDF]
Science, 2004 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between sexually unrelated species has recently been documented for higher plants, but mechanistic explanations for HGTs have remained speculative. We show that a parasitic relationship may facilitate HGT between flowering plants. The endophytic parasites Rafflesiaceae are placed in the diverse order Malpighiales.

Widespread ancient whole‐genome duplications in Malpighiales coincide with Eocene global climatic upheaval [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2018 AbstractAncient whole genome duplications (WGDs) are important in eukaryotic genome evolution, and are especially prominent in plants. Recent genomic studies from large vascular plant clades, including ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms suggest that WGDs may represent a crucial mode of speciation.

Pseudanthium development in Calycopeplus paucifolius, with particular reference to the evolution of the cyathium in Euphorbieae (Euphorbiaceae - Malpighiales) [PDF]
Australian Systematic Botany, 2008 The morphology and development of flowers and pseudanthia of Calycopeplus paucifolius are described in detail in the context of recent molecular phylogenies of the tribe Euphorbieae and a recent comparative developmental analysis of other taxa within this tribe.

Phylogeny of the clusioid clade (Malpighiales): Evidence from the plastid and mitochondrial genomes [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2011 • Premise of the study: The clusioid clade includes five families (i.e., Bonnetiaceae, Calophyllaceae, Clusiaceae s.s., Hypericaceae, and Podostemaceae) represented by 94 genera and ∼1900 species. Species in this clade form a conspicuous element of tropical forests worldwide and are important in horticulture, timber production, and pharmacology.
