Patterns and Drivers of Phylogenetic Beta Diversity in the Forests and Savannas of Africa

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Studying beta diversity, or the variation in species composition among communities, can give insights into plant community assembly over space and time. If different biomes show contrasting large‐scale beta‐diversity patterns, this can indicate divergent evolutionary histories or ecological processes that then drive species turnover among ...

Biregionally differentiated growth generates sharp apex and concave joints in leaves

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 1, July 2025.
SUMMARY The leaf apex, the distal end of the leaf blade, exhibits enormous variation in shapes across plant species. Among these diverse morphologies, the sharp apex, characterized by its pointed and elongated tip, is important for both species identification and environmental adaptation.

Embriologia de Pera glabrata (Schott) Poepp. ex Baill. (Peraceae, Malpighiales) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Pera is a neotropical genus, currently belonging to Peraceae family. These circumscription was the result of inclusion of Rafflesiaceae family between the old Pereae tribe and all other Euphorbiaceae, wherein Pereae was elevated to the family becoming Euphorbiaceae monophyletic again.

Diversification of the stem vascular system in a clade of recent radiation and multiple habit transitions: The Bunchosia clade (Malpighiaceae)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Premise Within the Malpighiaceae, the Bunchosia clade is distinctive for its significant habit variation and abundance of different vascular variants. However, the processes underlying the diversification of the vascular system over time and the ontogenetic events involved remain unclear.

Reverse prenylation in plants by non‐canonical aromatic prenyltransferases

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 122, Issue 6, June 2025.
Significance Statement Aromatic prenyltransferases (aPTs) are key catalysts in plant specialized metabolism, enhancing bioactivity by attaching hydrophobic prenyl groups to aromatic compounds. While no plant aPT catalyzing reverse prenylation of aromatic carbons has been identified so far, this study reports plant UbiA‐type aPTs from Hypericum species,
