Phylogenetic analysis of Koeleriinae clades A and B yielded mostly congruent topologies in nuclear and plastid trees. However, several lineages resolved in strikingly incongruent positions in trees from different data sets, suggesting a reticulate origin for these taxa.

The Genome of Lolium multiflorum Reveals the Genetic Architecture of Paraquat Resistance
ABSTRACT Herbicide resistance in agricultural weeds has become one of the greatest challenges for sustainable crop production. The repeated evolution of herbicide resistance provides an excellent opportunity to study the genetic and physiological basis of the resistance phenotype and the evolutionary responses to human‐mediated selection pressures ...

A fungal sRNA silences a host plant transcription factor to promote arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
Summary Cross‐kingdom RNA interference (ckRNAi) is a mechanism of interspecies communication where small RNAs (sRNAs) are transported from one organism to another; these sRNAs silence target genes in trans by loading into host AGO proteins. In this work, we investigated the occurrence of ckRNAi in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis (AMS).

Summary Plant species‐rich systems tend to be more productive than depauperate ones. In agroecosystems, increasing crop plant diversity by including legumes often increases soil nitrogen (N) and improves soil fertility; however, such generality in outcomes of non‐leguminous crop mixture is unknown. Here, through a meta‐analysis of 174 individual cases,

High‐throughput assessment of anemophilous pollen size and variability using imaging cytometry
Summary Pollen grain size relates to plant community structure via pollen dispersal, plant resource allocation into regenerative processes, plant phylogeny and plant genetics (ploidy), or it can be used as a decisive trait for pollen species distinction.
