The genome of Corydalis reveals the evolution of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis in Ranunculales

The Plant Journal, 2022
SUMMARYSpecies belonging to the order Ranunculales have attracted much attention because of their phylogenetic position as a sister group to all other eudicot lineages and their ability to produce unique yet diverse benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs). The Papaveraceae family in Ranunculales is often used as a model system for studying BIA biosynthesis.

Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...

The complete chloroplast genome of Vancouveria planipetala, with implication for the phylogeny of Ranunculales

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
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,

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Contrasting Phylogenetic Signals in Flowering and Fruiting Phenology at Species and Assemblage Scales in a Climbing Plant Community

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
This study examined the phylogenetic conservatism of flowering and fruiting in 78 climbing plant species relative to environmental gradients in a South Brazilian forest. Although species‐level analysis found a weak phylogenetic signal, a strong influence was detected at the assemblage scale, revealing that evolutionary history mediates the phenology ...

Genome Sequencing of the Endangered Kingdonia uniflora (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales) Reveals Potential Mechanisms of Evolutionary Specialization

iScience, 2020
Summary: Kingdonia uniflora, an alpine herb, has an extremely narrow distribution and represents a model for studying evolutionary mechanisms of species that have adapted to undisturbed environments for evolutionarily long periods of time. We assembled a

Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Isopyrum anemonoides (Ranunculaceae).

PLoS ONE, 2023
Ranunculaceae is a large family of angiosperms comprising 2500 known species-a few with medicinal and ornamental values. Despite this, only two mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of the family have been released in GenBank.

Heterodichogamy in Kingdonia (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales) [PDF]

, 2017
Background and Aims 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 ...

Herbivory Dominates the Spring Diet of American Black Bears (Ursus americanus) in a Wood Bison (Bison bison athabascae) Neonatal Range, Suggesting Minimal Bison Consumption

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
In this study, we used scat analysis and DNA metabarcoding to analyze the spring diet of black bears in the neonatal range of a small, threatened wood bison herd in northeast Alberta to assess predation risk of neonate bison. Our results suggest that consumption rates of bison are low and that predation risk to neonate wood bison, during the RLBH's ...

LGRPv2: A high‐value platform for the advancement of Fabaceae genomics

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 4057-4075, September 2025.
Summary Fabaceae, as one of the most diverse angiosperm families, plays a crucial role in maintaining global ecosystems and advancing human civilization. With the rapid accumulation of legume genomes, we developed LGRPv2 (https://fabaceae.cgrpoee.top), an updated version of the Legume Genomics Research Platform.
