Characterize the Complete Mitogenome of Semiaquilegia guangxiensis and Assess the Efficiency of the Mitochondrial Genes in Ranunculales Phylogeny [PDF]
Plant mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has crucial functions underpinning survive, development, and reproduction of organisms. However, the complete mitogenomes have been far less assembled and annotated than plastomes and even nuclear genomes in plants,

Assessing duplication and loss of APETALA1/FRUITFULL homologs in Ranunculales [PDF]
Gene duplication and loss provide raw material for evolutionary change within organismal lineages as functional diversification of gene copies provide a mechanism for phenotypic variation.

Heterodichogamy in Kingdonia (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales) [PDF]
Preliminary field observations in 2001 and 2002 suggested that Kingdonia uniflora (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales) exhibits heterodichogamy, an unusual kind of reproductive heteromorphy, hitherto unreported in Ranunculales and known from only one other genus in basal eudicots.During several subsequent years flowers were observed in the field.

A cornucopia of diversity-Ranunculales as a model lineage. [PDF]
Abstract The Ranunculales are a hyperdiverse lineage in many aspects of their phenotype, including growth habit, floral and leaf morphology, reproductive mode, and specialized metabolism. Many Ranunculales species, such as opium poppy and goldenseal, have a high medicinal value.

Comparative case study of evolutionary insights and floral complexity in key early-diverging eudicot Ranunculales models [PDF]
Famously referred to as “Darwin’s abominable mystery,” the rapid diversification of angiosperms over the last ~140 million years presents a fascinating enigma.

A Global Analysis of Alternative Splicing of Dichocarpum Medicinal Plants, Ranunculales. [PDF]
Background: The multiple isoforms are often generated from a single gene via alternative splicing (AS) in plants, and the functional diversity of plant genome is significantly increased. Despite well studied gene functions, the specific functions of isoforms are little known, therefore the accurate prediction of isoform functions is exceedingly wanted.

Floral Morphogenesis in Euptelea (Eupteleaceae, Ranunculales) [PDF]
Based on molecular phylogenetic studies, the unigeneric family Eupteleaceae has a prominent phylogenetic position at or near the base of Ranunculales, which, in turn, appear at the base of eudicots. The aim of the present paper is to reveal developmental features of the flowers and to put the genus in a morphological context with other basal eudicots ...

Insights into the ancestral flowers of Ranunculales [PDF]
AbstractThe question of the origin of petals has long been debated in the botanical literature. Ranunculales are characterized by a spectacular floral diversity, particularly at the perianth level. Recent progress in understanding the genetic bases of floral organ identity suggests a single origin for petals in Ranunculaceae, contrasting with the ...

The complete chloroplast genome of Vancouveria planipetala, with implication for the phylogeny of Ranunculales [PDF]
Vancouveria planipetala (Berberidaceae) is a perennial herb which has high ornamental and ecological values. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of V. planipetala. The whole cp genome of V. planipetala is 156,871 bp in length,
