Continental‐scale interactions of Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Premise Showy mistletoes are obligate hemiparasites of woody plants. Host specificity is therefore a fundamental determinant of mistletoe diversity, persistence, geographic distribution, and abundance. Investigations of host specificity in Australian Loranthaceae have focused mostly on host range (taxon counts), but additional insights into ...

Identification and expression analysis of Phosphate Transporter 1 (PHT1) genes in the highly phosphorus‐use‐efficient Hakea prostrata (Proteaceae)

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 5021-5038, December 2024.
Abstract Heavy and costly use of phosphorus (P) fertiliser is often needed to achieve high crop yields, but only a small amount of applied P fertiliser is available to most crop plants. Hakea prostrata (Proteaceae) is endemic to the P‐impoverished landscape of southwest Australia and has several P‐saving traits.

On the origin of the Oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis L.)

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis) is native to the East Mediterranean region and sister to three western North American species, together forming the Pacific North American–European (PNA‐E) clade. Its sister clade, comprising several eastern North American–Mexican species, has been termed the Atlantic North American (ANA) clade.

The legacy of terrestrial plant evolution on cell wall fine structure

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 1238-1254, April 2024.
Abstract The evolution of land flora was an epochal event in the history of planet Earth. The success of plants, and especially flowering plants, in colonizing all but the most hostile environments required multiple mechanisms of adaptation. The mainly polysaccharide‐based cell walls of flowering plants, which are indispensable for water transport and ...

Nuclear phylogenomics of angiosperms and insights into their relationships and evolution

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 546-578, March 2024.
This review synthesizes numerous nuclear phylogenomic analyses of angiosperms (analyses that resolved the relationships of major clades, most orders, and many families and subgroups) and discusses the improved understanding of angiosperm biogeography, diversification dynamics, and character evolution.

Angiosperm‐wide analysis of fruit and ovary evolution aided by a new nuclear phylogeny supports association of the same ovary type with both dry and fleshy fruits

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 228-251, February 2024.
Phylogenetic analysis and molecular dating elucidate relationships for orders and families, trace crown angiosperms’ Triassic origin, unveil parallel carpel fusions in early eudicots, monocots, and magnoliids and associate specific fruit types sharing the same ovary type.

Angiosperm flowers reached their highest morphological diversity early in their evolutionary history

New Phytologist, Volume 241, Issue 3, Page 1348-1360, February 2024.
Summary Flowers are the complex and highly diverse reproductive structures of angiosperms. Because of their role in sexual reproduction, the evolution of flowers is tightly linked to angiosperm speciation and diversification. Accordingly, the quantification of floral morphological diversity (disparity) among angiosperm subgroups and through time may ...

First fossil woods and palm stems from the mid‐Paleocene of Myanmar and implications for biogeography and wood anatomy

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Premise The rise of angiosperm‐dominated tropical rainforests has been proposed to have occurred shortly after the Cretaceous–Paleogene transition. Paleocene fossil wood assemblages are rare yet provide important data for understanding these forests and whether their wood anatomical features can be used to document the changes that occurred ...
