Phylogenomic resolution of order- and family-level monocot relationships using 602 single-copy nuclear genes and 1375 BUSCO genes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
We assess relationships among 192 species in all 12 monocot orders and 72 of 77 families, using 602 conserved single-copy (CSC) genes and 1375 benchmarking single-copy ortholog (BUSCO) genes extracted from genomic and transcriptomic datasets ...

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Dynamics and evolution of the inverted repeat-large single copy junctions in the chloroplast genomes of monocots [PDF]

, 2008
Background Various expansions or contractions of inverted repeats (IRs) in chloroplast genomes led to fluxes in the IR-LSC (large single copy) junctions.

Placing very long branch taxa in the plant tree of life: A case study with Dioscoreales mycoheterotrophs

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The inclusion of heterotrophic plants in broader systematic studies is challenging due to substantial morphological modification, gene loss, and accelerated substitution rates following photosynthesis loss. In particular, inclusion of very long branch (VLB) taxa with highly elevated rates may lead to phylogenomic misinference.

Molecular evolution of floral development genes in spiral gingers with divergent pollination syndromes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The evolution of floral traits is a major contributor to plant diversification and pollination specialization. In the Neotropical genus Costus, closely related species exhibit distinct pollination syndromes, offering an opportunity to investigate the ...

Vascular Epiphyte Diversity in a Key Atlantic Forest Remnant from Minas Gerais State, Southeastern Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente, 2023
Vascular epiphytes contribute significantly to the biodiversity of tropical forests. We aimed to identify the epiphyte species occurring in the Muriqui Trail at Serra do Brigadeiro State Park (SBSP), a priority area for Atlantic forest conservation in ...

Real‐time monitoring of root dielectric properties for assessing crop plant damage caused by foliar application of glyphosate

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise There is a knowledge gap regarding how foliar injury and restricted water uptake can be detected by measuring root dielectric response. This pot study nondestructively evaluated the efficiency of real‐time dielectric measurement to monitor the effects of glyphosate spraying.

Phylogenetic relationships of basal monocots and the evolution of genome size.

, 1993
The diversification of monocotyledons into major lines, and the evolution of genome size have been studied in this work. The diversification of major lineages of monocots was examined through the phylogenetic analysis of morphological and molecular data.

Parallel evolution of TCP and B-class genes in Commelinaceae flower bilateral symmetry

EvoDevo, 2012
Background Flower bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) has evolved multiple times independently across angiosperms and is correlated with increased pollinator specialization and speciation rates.
