Age estimates for the buckwheat family Polygonaceae based on sequence data calibrated by fossils and with a focus on the amphi-Pacific Muehlenbeckia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The buckwheat family Polygonaceae is a diverse group of plants and is a good model for investigating biogeography, breeding systems, coevolution with symbionts such as ants and fungi, functional trait evolution, hybridization, invasiveness, morphological

Exploration of the anti-inflammatory potential of Polygonum bistorta L.: protection against LPS-induced acute lung injury in rats via NF-ĸβ pathway inhibition

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Traditional medicine uses the roots and rhizomes of Polygonum bistorta L. (Polygonaceae) to treat cough, bronchitis, and other respiratory infections. Our goal was to gain insights into the lung protective effects of the roots of P. bistorta L.

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas.

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.

Historical data reveal earlier flowering under environmental change

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Global temperatures have risen ~ 1.1°C since the 1800s and the mean annual air temperature in the Arctic has increased by nearly four times the global average. Temperature has a significant effect on fundamental life‐cycle events of flora and fauna. With temperatures increasing, Arctic plants are expected to shift their active periods accordingly, with

A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...
