NGATHA carpel development genes evolved in the common ancestor of seed plants. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY The evolution of the carpel, the defining feature of angiosperms, remains a fundamental question in plant biology. Understanding how this organ originated is crucial because it underpins the reproductive success and diversity of flowering plants.

PWO proteins are associated with PRC2 since their emergence in vascular plants. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a conserved histone methyltransferase complex, plays a central role in transcriptional silencing across eukaryotes. Here, we investigate the evolution of PWWP‐DOMAIN INTERACTORS OF POLYCOMBS (PWOs), which interact with PRC2, and examine the conservation of the PWOs‐PRC2 interaction across plant ...

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Phylogenetic reconciliation provides new insights into the evolutionary diversification of the glutamine synthetase gene family in seed plants. [PDF]

FEBS J
Phylogenetic analyses of glutamine synthetase (GS) in seed plants revealed that all three major evolutionary lineages (GS2, GS1a, and GS1b) must have been present in the common ancestor, with GS2 being the first lineage to diverge. Unlike GS1b, GS1a and GS2 are usually single‐copy genes, even though they underwent duplications that resulted in ...

The evolution of Hutchinsonian climatic niche hypervolumes in gymnosperms

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The niche is a fundamental concept in theoretical and experimental ecology and is used to describe a wide range of ecological processes from species' interactions with the environment to community assemblies. A common way to represent the niche is through a multidimensional geometry known as the Hutchinsonian niche hypervolume.

TRB proteins in moss reveal their evolutionarily conserved roles in plant development and telomere maintenance. [PDF]

Plant J
Significance Statement TRB proteins in the moss P. patens are essential for normal development, telomere maintenance, and transcriptional regulation. Our findings demonstrate the evolutionary conservation of TRB functions across land plants and highlight their ancient origin in streptophytes.

Види Pinopsida Широківського лісу

Екологічний вісник Криворіжжя, 2018
Сосновий ліс - це постійне місце існування різноманітних тварин. Взаємне пристосування рослин і тварин, що склалося впродовж еволюції, формування різних ланцюгів живлення у певних екологічних умовах визначає не лише відповідний склад рослинності лісових насаджень, а й склад популяцій фауни.

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1304-1321, July 2026.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...
