Characterization of the complete plastome of Spiraea trilobata (Rosaceae), a perennial shrub
The complete plastome of Spiraea trilobata, a shrub, is determined. The plastome is 155,981 bp in length and comprises a large single-copy region (84,417 bp), a small single-copy region (18,878 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats regions (26,343 bp).

Temperature responses of Rubisco from Paniceae grasses provide opportunities for improving C3 photosynthesis. [PDF]
Enhancing the catalytic properties of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco is a target for improving agricultural crop productivity. Here, we reveal extensive diversity in the kinetic response between 10 and 37 °C by Rubisco from C3 and C4 species within the ...

Plastids in a Pinch: Coordinating Stress and Developmental Responses Through Retrograde Signalling
ABSTRACT Plastids are crucial for fuelling and regulating plant growth and development. Photosynthesising chloroplasts provide energy for growth, while other plastids play additional key roles in various aspects of plant physiology. For function and development, plastids greatly depend on nucleus‐encoded proteins, and they can modulate the synthesis of

Plastome phylogenomics and biogeography of the subfam. Polygonoideae (Polygonaceae)
Polygonaceae has a complex taxonomic history, although a few studies using plastid or nuclear DNA fragments have explored relationships within this family, intrafamilial relationships remain controversial.

The recent and rapid spread of Themeda triandra [PDF]
Tropical savannas cover over 20% of land surface. They sustain a high diversity of mammalian herbivores and promote frequent fires, both of which are dependent on the underlying grass composition.

Summary The butterfly‐shaped keel flower is a highly successful floral form in angiosperms. These flowers steer the mechanical interaction with bees and thus are hypothesized to accelerate pollinator‐driven diversification. The exceptionally labile evolution of keel flowers in Papilionoideae (Fabaceae) provides a suitable system to test this hypothesis.

Extensive Structural Variations Between Mitochondrial Genomes of CMS and Normal Peppers (Capsicum Annuum L.) Revealed by Complete Nucleotide Sequencing [PDF]
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is an inability to produce functional pollen that is caused by mutation of the mitochondrial genome. Comparative analyses of mitochondrial genomes of lines with and without CMS in several species have revealed structural ...

Inheritance and restriction fragment length polymorphism of chloroplast DNA in the genus Coffea L. [PDF]
CpDNA variation among 52 tree samples belonging to 25 different taxa of #Coffea$ and two species of #Psilanthus$ was assessed by RFLP analysis on both the total chloroplast genome and the atpB-rbcL intergenic region.

Are Ophiolitic Substrates Drivers for Reticulate Evolution in Armeria (Plumbaginaceae)?
The Armeria denticulata complex includes two species (A. denticulata and A. saviana): The former is a strict serpentinophyte endemic to Tuscany and western Liguria, the latter grows on limestone/jasper in a small area of southern Tuscany. We aimed at understanding whether substrate specificity and/or hybridization promoted speciation in the A ...
