Refining generic limits in Hyacinthinae (Asparagaceae, Scilloideae): Conflict and concordance between morphology and phylogenomics

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Using Angiosperms353 and plastid genome skimming approaches, the generic limits of Hyacinthinae were explored using DNA sequences to better understand their evolution. Floral morphology, a traditional generic delimiter, conflicts with the molecular groupings in many cases, but bulb morphology and cytogenetics define similar groups to DNA.

Dehydration‐driven organization of metabolites into NaDES‐like assemblies in orthodox seeds

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Desiccation tolerance in plants, especially during orthodox seed dehydration, relies on compatible solute accumulation, complex molecular mechanisms, and intermolecular organizations that remain poorly understood. We combined metabolite profiling, mass spectrometry imaging, and electrospray and cold‐spray ionization mass spectrometry to ...

Pollinator efficiency, rather than bee decline, explains a shift to hummingbird pollination in tropical montane forests

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Hummingbird pollination is a hallmark of American plant diversity and has long been thought to evolve in tropical mountains due to declining bee activity. Using sister species of Costus specialized on bees (C. kuntzei) and hummingbirds (C. wilsonii), we show that this shift is not driven by reduced bee visitation with elevation, but by greater ...

Trimerous magnoliid flowers with a unique set of floral and pollen traits from the Late Cretaceous of Southern Bohemia (Czech Republic)

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.
