How the diversity in digestion in carnivorous plants may have evolved

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Carnivorous plants secrete digestive enzymes for prey degradation. Although carnivorous plants have a polyphyletic origin and evolved several times independently, they surprisingly co‐opted similar digestive enzymes during convergent evolution.

A Group 6 LEA Protein Plays Key Roles in Tolerance to Water Deficit, and in Maintaining the Glassy State and Longevity of Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants have a wide range of adaptive and protective mechanisms to cope with dehydration. Central in these processes are the Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, whose levels notably increase in response to dehydration during seed development and vegetative tissues.

Comparative Genomics and Phylogenetic Analyses of Aquarius macrophyllus and Related Genera in Alismataceae Based on Plastome Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
We sequenced the plastome of Aquarius macrophyllus and conducted a comparative analysis incorporating eight species from four related genera in Alismataceae. Phylogenetic analysis of Alismataceae elucidated that Alisma and Burnatia species were early diverged, followed by Hydrocleys and Limnocharis. The monophyly of Aquarius and its sister relationship

Recruitment of Sugar Transport and Scent Volatile Genes for Prey Attraction in the Nectar Spoon of Heliamphora tatei

Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 2, June 2025.
Prey attraction is an integral component of the carnivorous syndrome, yet its molecular adaptations have remained largely unexplored. Our study utilized tissue‐specific transcriptomic data from the South American marsh pitcher plant, Heliamphora tatei, to explore the molecular and developmental basis of prey attraction.

The developmental basis of floral nectary diversity and evolution

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 2462-2477, June 2025.
Summary Nectar is a central bridge between angiosperms and animal mutualists. It is produced by specialized structures termed nectaries, which can be found on different plant organs. Consumption of floral nectar by pollinators and the subsequent transfer of pollen contribute to the reproductive success of both angiosperms and their pollinators.

Morphology and development of the gynoecium in Centrolepidaceae: The most remarkable range of variation in Poales [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 2009
This paper explores the relative impacts of reduction and polymerization on the evolution of reproductive structures in the small but morphologically diverse family Centrolepidaceae. Centrolepidaceae are closely related to Restionaceae and belong to the large order Poales, which also includes the grasses.
