Clades That Frequently Accumulate Metals Do Not Have Low Abundance in the Tropical Forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2025.
Metal accumulation in trees causes abundance decline. However, this is dependent upon clades with the Celastrales, Oxalidales, and Malpighiales, frequent metal accumulators, not having low abundance. ABSTRACT In diverse tropical communities, individuals with more distinct traits typically have lower abundance.

First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades [PDF]

, 2018
A survey of our own comparative studies on several larger clades of rosids and over 1400 original publications on rosid flowers shows that floral structural features support to various degrees the supraordinal relationships in rosids proposed by ...

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

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

Reverse prenylation in plants by non‐canonical aromatic prenyltransferases

The 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,

A brainstorm on the systematics of Turnera (Turneraceae, Malpighiales) caused by insights from molecular phylogenetics and morphological evolution

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2019
With 145 species, Turnera is the largest genus of Turneraceae (Malpighiales). Despite several morphotaxonomic and cytogenetic studies, our knowledge about the phylogenetic relationships in Turnera remains mainly based on morphological data. Here, we reconstruct the most comprehensive phylogeny of Turnera with molecular data to understand the ...

Gene order in rosid phylogeny, inferred from pairwise syntenies among extant genomes [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Ancestral gene order reconstruction for flowering plants has lagged behind developments in yeasts, insects and higher animals, because of the recency of widespread plant genome sequencing, sequencers' embargoes on public data use, paralogies ...

Land‐use changes impact root–fungal network connectivity in a global biodiversity hotspot

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 5, Page 1136-1149, May 2025.
Dimensioning the impacts of rainforest transformations below‐ground is constrained by our understanding of fungal functional guilds. Highly modified systems exhibited fewer connections, suggesting a dynamic restructuring of root–fungal relationships in response to land‐use changes.

Comparative floral structure and systematics in Ochnaceaes.l.(Ochnaceae, Quiinaceae and Medusagynaceae; Malpighiales) [PDF]

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012
Ochnaceae s.l. (Ochnaceae, Quiinaceae and Medusagynaceae), one of the well-supported subclades of the large order Malpighiales retrieved so far in molecular phylogenetic studies, were comparatively studied with regard to floral structure using microtome section series and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Floral morphology, anatomy and histology also

Distribution patterns, richness, endemism and conservation of Phyllanthaceae in the Atlantic Forest of Northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is one of the most important biodiversity hotspots on the planet, home to several rare and endemic species. The Phyllanthaceae family harbors great richness of endemic species in this area, including some recently described in ...

Gene duplicability of core genes is highly consistent across all angiosperms [PDF]

, 2016
Gene duplication is an important mechanism for adding to genomic novelty. Hence, which genes undergo duplication and are preserved following duplication is an important question. It has been observed that gene duplicability, or the ability of genes to be
