Chemical Relationships between Liverworts of the Family Lejeuneaceae (Porellales, Jungermanniopsida) [PDF]
The major purpose of this study was to determine the chemical relationships between liverwort species belonging to the Lejeuneaceae family on the basis of sesqui- and diterpenoid composition.

The Neotropical endemic liverwort subfamily Micropterygioideae had circum-Antarctic links to the rest of the Lepidoziaceae during the early Cretaceous. [PDF]
We inferred the position of Micropterygioideae in the molecular phylogeny of the liverwort family Lepidoziaceae for the first time and found circum‐Antarctic links of the subfamily to the rest of the family. Additionally, we estimated the divergence times and inferred the ancestral ranges of the major clades of the family.

Genus Diplasiolejeunea (Lejeuneaceae, Porellales) New to India, with Records of Two Species from the Western Ghats [PDF]
The genus Diplasiolejeunea is added to the liverwort flora of India from the Kerala part of the Western Ghats reporting two species: Diplasiolejeunea cavifolia Steph. and D. cobrensis Gottsche ex Steph. The genus is known from tropical Asia with eight species. Among them Diplasiolejeunea cavifolia is widespread, but still the genus was not yet recorded

Abstract Premise Bryophytes form a major component of terrestrial plant biomass, structuring ecological communities in all biomes. Our understanding of the evolutionary history of hornworts, liverworts, and mosses has been significantly reshaped by inferences from molecular data, which have highlighted extensive homoplasy in various traits and repeated

Abstract In plants, glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is an ubiquitous enzyme that catalyzes the reversible amination of 2‐oxoglutarate in glutamate. It contributes to both the amino acid homeostasis and the management of intracellular ammonium, and it is regarded as a key player at the junction of carbon and nitrogen assimilation pathways.

The Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution and the origins of modern biodiversity
Summary Biodiversity today has the unusual property that 85% of plant and animal species live on land rather than in the sea, and half of these live in tropical rainforests. An explosive boost to terrestrial diversity occurred from c. 100–50 million years ago, the Late Cretaceous and early Palaeogene. During this interval, the Earth‐life system on land

Macroclimatic structuring of spatial phylogenetic turnover in liverworts
Phylogenetic turnover has emerged as a powerful tool to identify the mechanisms by which biological communities assemble. When significantly structured along environmental gradients, phylogenetic turnover evidences phylogenetic niche conservatism, a critical principle explaining patterns of species distributions at different spatio–temporal scales ...

The leafy liverwort genus Lejeunea (Porellales, Jungermanniopsida) in Miocene Dominican amber [PDF]
Lejeunea is a morphologically diverse subcosmopolitan genus of predominantly epiphytic leafy liverworts. We describe three Lejeunea fossils preserved in Miocene Dominican amber, Lejeunea hamatiloba sp. nov., L. resinata sp. nov. and L. urbanioides sp. nov., thereby increasing the Lejeunea fossil record to four species.

Sphaerolejeunea (Lejeuneaceae, Porellales) is a synonym of Lejeunea
Phylogenetic analyses of a three marker dataset of Lejeuneaceae (chloroplast genome rbcL gene and trnL-F region, and nuclear ribosomal ITS1-5.8S-ITS-2 region) show the presence of the monospecific genus Sphaerolejeunea in a robust subclade of Lejeunea.

Transfer of Lejeunea huctumalcensis to Physantholejeunea (Lejeuneaceae, Porellales)
Phylogenetic analyses of a three-marker dataset of Lejeuneaceae (chloroplast genome rbcL gene and trnL–trnF region, and nuclear ribosomal ITS1–5.8S-ITS2 region) resolve Lejeunea huctumalcensis (synonym Ceratolejeunea dussiana) in a well supported lineage with Physantholejeunea portoricensis.
