Convergent evolution of plant prickles by repeated gene co-option over deep time [PDF]
ScienceAn enduring question in evolutionary biology concerns the degree to which episodes of convergent trait evolution depend on the same genetic programs, particularly over long timescales. In this work, we genetically dissected repeated origins and losses of

Genetic dissection of stem and leaf rachis prickles in diploid rose using a pedigree-based QTL analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionPrickles are often deemed undesirable traits in many crops, including roses (Rosa sp.), and there is demand for rose cultivars with no or very few prickles.

Mechanical limits shape the eccentric form of rose prickles. [PDF]
J R Soc InterfaceRose prickles are defensive structures known to many plant enthusiasts. Unlike other stingers in nature that have mostly circular cross-sections, rose prickles have a distinct elliptical shape.

Dilemmas in generic delimitation of Senegalia and allies (Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade): how to reconcile phylogenomic evidence with morphology and taxonomy? [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2022 Senegalia comprises 219 species distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. Two sections are currently recognised within Senegalia and these are most readily distinguished by the differences in ...
