Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1399-1420, May 2026.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Advances in the floral structural characterization of the major subclades of Malpighiales, one of the largest orders of flowering plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017

Chloroplast Genomes of Croton alabamensis and Croton bonplandianus (Euphorbiaceae): Comparative Analysis With Related Croton Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Croton chloroplast genomes exhibit substantial structural diversity driven mainly by asymmetric inverted repeats (IRs) contraction and expansion, despite highly conserved gene content. IR boundary shifts predominantly involved the LSC region, indicating an LSC‐driven evolutionary pattern. The preliminary phylogenomic analyses confirmed the monophyly of

Oldest fruit of Phyllanthaceae from the Deccan Intertrappean Beds of Singpur, Madhya Pradesh, India

open access: yesActa Palaeobotanica, 2017
A permineralized fruit from the latest Cretaceous of central India is recognized as a member of the malpighialean family Phyllanthaceae. The fruit is a tricarpellate, septicidal capsule 2.8 mm in diameter possessing two ellipsoidal seeds per locule.

Progress and problems in the assessment of flower morphology in higher-level systematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Floral features used for characterization of higher-level angiosperm taxa (families, orders, and above) are assessed following a comparison of earlier (precladistic/premolecular) and current classifications.

Taxonomical update of the genus Drypetes (Malpighiales: Putranjivaceae) in Cuba

open access: greenPhytotaxa
Drypetes is a pantropical genus of 220 species of dioecious trees and shrubs, where around 20 of them are found in the Americas, with a hotspot in the West Indies. In Cuba, the number of taxa and its identities have changed throughout the years and the infraspecific classification has never being taken into consideration.

Dispersal and delimitation: Phylogenomics of Connaraceae prompts revised generic delimitation in Cnestideae and reveals global biogeographic patterns

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The tempo and mode of assembly of the world's most diverse, tropical floras remain poorly known. Evolutionary relationships within pantropical plant clades such as Connaraceae (Oxalidales, ca. 220 species) offer an opportunity to address this issue.

Massive Mitochondrial Gene Transfer in a Parasitic Flowering Plant Clade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent studies have suggested that plant genomes have undergone potentially rampant horizontal gene transfer (HGT), especially in the mitochondrial genome.

Phylogenomic use of low‐copy nuclear markers from genome skimming data: An example from Melastomataceae

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The emergence of conflicting signals among different genomic regions, individual genes, and inference methods has been frequently reported in phylogenomic studies. Conflicts can occur from methodological error and biological processes, and disentangling the contribution of each putative source of discordance became a major challenge.
