Classification and Biogeography of New World Grasses: Anomochlooideae, Pharoideae, Ehrhartoideae, and Bambusoideae [PDF]
Molecular data support Anomochlooideae and Pharoideae as the two most basal extant clades within Poaceae. Anomochlooideae are endemic to the New World and have two tribes and two genera including the widespread Streptochaeteae (3–4 spp.) and the ...

Culm cell-wall compositions of tribes Bambuseae and Olyreae (subfamily Bambusoideae; Family Poaceae) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest [PDF]
Abstract Brazil has the greatest diversity of bamboos in the neotropics. This biodiversity is reflected in the diversity of plant architectures, ranging from trees to herbs. As cell walls constitute the main mechanical component of plant tissues and organs, the compositions of these walls may differ depending on the mechanical properties required for

Large Trees, Supertrees, and Diversification of the Grass Family [PDF]
Phylogenetic studies of grasses (Poaceae) are advanced in comparison with most other angiosperm families. However, few studies have attempted to build large phylogenetic trees of the family and use these for evaluating patterns of diversification or other

Cryptic speciation in the herbaceous bamboo genus Piresia (Poaceae, Olyreae)
AbstractPiresia, a small genus of herbaceous bamboos, has a geographical disjunction between the Caribbean and northern/western South America and the north-eastern Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Piresia leptophylla is reported from western Amazonia (WA) and the north-eastern Atlantic Forest (NAF), but its occurrence in western Amazonia is questionable ...

Phylogeny of the Grasses (Poaceae) Revisited [PDF]
The most robust previously published phylogeny for the overall structure of the grass family (Poaceae) shows three early diverging lineages and two major derived clades, the BEP clade and the PACCAD clade (Grass Phylogeny Working Group 2001).

Phylogenetic Relationships of the Decumbentes Group of Paspalum, Thrasya, and Thrasyopsis (Poaceae: Panicoideae: Paniceae) [PDF]
Paspalum (Poaceae: Panicoideae: Paniceae) includes 330 species distributed mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of America. Due to the large number of species and convergence in many characters, an adequate infrageneric classification is still ...

In plant evolution, intracellular gene transfer (IGT) is a prevalent, ongoing process. While nuclear and mitochondrial genomes are known to integrate foreign DNA via IGT and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), plastid genomes (plastomes) have resisted foreign DNA incorporation and only recently has IGT been uncovered in the plastomes of a few land plants ...

[Retracted] Phytoliths as Emerging Taxonomic Tools for Identification of Plants: An Overview
In the recent advancements in identification of plant species, phytoliths have found an immense role in the identification of plants at different levels of taxonomic hierarchy. Many plant groups are known to accumulate silica in solid form in and between the cells and tissues and hence create the structures commonly known as phytoliths.

Olyra bahiensis (Poaceae - Olyreae): uma nova espécie para a mata atlântica do estado da Bahia, Brasil [PDF]
A new species of Olyra is described and illustrated. Olyra bahiensis R.P.Oliveira & Longhi-Wagner is related to O. ciliatifolia Raddi (widely distributed in South America), and to O. juruana Mez, O. amapana Soderstr. & Zuloaga, and O. loretensis Mez (occurring in the Amazonian Basin), sharing the presence of trichomes covering completely the female ...
