Duckweeds: Model organisms for research on plant sterols and steroids [PDF]
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae), the fastest‐growing angiosperms and promising vegan protein source, offer a powerful model to address key questions in plant physiology. This article highlights their potential for dissecting the biosynthesis and function of phytosterols, sterol conjugates, brassinosteroids, and specialized steroidal metabolites, such as ...

Ecdeiocolea rigens, a new species of Ecdeiocoleaceae (Poales) from Western Australia
The Western Australian plant family Ecdeiocoleaceae includes only three species but DNA data show them as the closest living sister-group of the Poaceae. Ecdeiocoleaceae are wind-pollinated and monoecious; spikes produce separate zones of pistillate and staminate flowers, in acropetal succession.

The megagametophyte in Anarthria (Anarthriaceae, Poales) and its implications for the phylogeny of the Poales [PDF]
The development and structure of the megagametophyte of Anarthria (Anarthriaceae), Aphclia, and Centrolepis (Centrolepidaceae) are described. Anarthriaceae has tenuinucellate ovules and the Polygonum type of megagametophyte development, both characters typical of the Poales.

Plants compete for light partly by over-producing chlorophyll in leaves. The resulting high light absorption is an effective strategy for out competing neighbors in mixed communities, but it prevents light transmission to lower leaves and limits ...
