Spermatophyta Molecular Clock: Time Drift and Recent Acceleration. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractExponential increase in the base substitution rate in recent geologic time. ABSTRACT Angiospermae radiation is widely recognized as a mid‐Cretaceous event, but the adaptive radiation of Asarum and Viola as spring ephemerals also occurred during the Quaternary. To better understand the evolution of Angiospermae through geological time, a robust and well‐

The evolutionary fate of rpl32 and rps16 losses in the Euphorbia schimperi (Euphorbiaceae) plastome
Scientific Reports, 2021 Gene transfers from mitochondria and plastids to the nucleus are an important process in the evolution of the eukaryotic cell. Plastid (pt) gene losses have been documented in multiple angiosperm lineages and are often associated with functional ...

Non-dispersive phloem-protein bodies (NPBs) of Populus trichocarpa consist of a SEOR protein and do not respond to cell wounding and Ca2+ [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Differentiating sieve elements in the phloem of angiosperms produce abundant phloem-specific proteins before their protein synthesis machinery is degraded.

Structure and development of flowers and inflorescences in Peraceae and Euphorbiaceae and the evolution of pseudanthia in Malpighiales. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Pseudanthia are reduced and compact inflorescences which apparently had independent evolution in Euphorbiaceae and Peraceae within Malpighiales. In order to analyze the hypothesis that the different pseudanthia found in Malpighiales have non-homologous ...

Synopsis of Acalypha L. (Euphorbiaceae) of Peru and Bolivia, with description of a new species
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2013 A critical review of the Peruvian and Bolivian species of Acalypha L. (Euphorbiaceae) is presented. As a result 41 species (42 taxa) are accepted, 31 from Peru and 28 from Bolivia, and 94 names are considered synonyms.

The Loss of the Inverted Repeat in the Putranjivoid Clade of Malpighiales [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The typical plastid genome (plastome) of photosynthetic angiosperms comprises a pair of Inverted Repeat regions (IRs), which separate a Large Single Copy region (LSC) from a Small Single Copy region (SSC). The independent losses of IRs have been documented in only a few distinct plant lineages.

Not a shrinking violet: Pollen morphology of Violaceae (Malpighiales) [PDF]
Grana, 2012 Abstract Pollen morphology of Violaceae, a family of c. 825–900 species, has been little studied to date, with the exception of Viola. In this paper, we present the results of a survey of the pollen of representative species of 16 of the 23 genera of Violaceae, examined using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and selectively transmission ...
