Well‐resolved phylogeny supports repeated evolution of keel flowers as a synergistic contributor to papilionoid legume diversification

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 369-387, July 2025.
Summary The butterfly‐shaped keel flower is a highly successful floral form in angiosperms. These flowers steer the mechanical interaction with bees and thus are hypothesized to accelerate pollinator‐driven diversification. The exceptionally labile evolution of keel flowers in Papilionoideae (Fabaceae) provides a suitable system to test this hypothesis.

Drug metabolism and disposition diversity of Ranunculales phytometabolites: a systems perspective

Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology, 2016
Introduction: Although investigations in metabolism and pharmacokinetics of Ranunculales phytometabolites are booming, data obtained from human and animal studies have not been summarized as a whole to outline current trends and to predict future development.

Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.

Seed Shape Diversity in families of the Order Ranunculales

Phytotaxa, 2019
Seed shape in the order Ranunculales is described with the objective of characterizing the morphological seed types in the families of this order and to establish a correlation between seed shape, plant structure and life style.         Based on previous work in model plants (Arabidopsis thaliana, Lotus japonicus, Medicago truncatula), we have used the

Incorporating Genetic Diversity to Optimize the Plant Conservation Network in the Third Pole

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
Climate change is a major threat to plant survival, and existing protected areas often fail to consider genetic diversity, which is crucial for species adaptation. Our meta‐analysis of plants in the Third Pole region shows that genetic diversity in the area is shaped by climate and landscape factors. To survive, many plants will need to move upward and

Increasing variability in resource supply over time disrupts plant–pollinator interactions

Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Insect–plant interactions are key determinants of plant and insect fitness, providing important ecosystem services around the world—including the Arctic region. Recently, it has been suggested that climate warming causes rifts between flower and pollinator phenology.

Sequence diversity in the monooxygenases involved in oxime production in plant defense and signaling: a conservative revision in the nomenclature of the highly complex CYP79 family

The Plant Journal, Volume 120, Issue 3, Page 1236-1256, November 2024.
SUMMARY Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases of the CYP79 family catalyze conversion of specific amino acids into oximes feeding into a variety of metabolic plant pathways. Here we present an extensive phylogenetic tree of the CYP79 family built on carefully curated sequences collected across the entire plant kingdom.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Aconitum coreanum and Aconitum carmichaelii and comparative analysis with other Aconitum species.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Aconitum species (belonging to the Ranunculaceae) are well known herbaceous medicinal ingredients and have great economic value in Asian countries. However, there are still limited genomic resources available for Aconitum species.

Mapping of specialized metabolite terms onto a plant phylogeny using text mining and large language models

The Plant Journal, Volume 120, Issue 1, Page 406-419, October 2024.
SUMMARY Plants produce a staggering array of chemicals that are the basis for organismal function and important human nutrients and medicines. However, it is poorly defined how these compounds evolved and are distributed across the plant kingdom, hindering a systematic view and understanding of plant chemical diversity.
