Enabling evolutionary studies at multiple scales in Apocynaceae through Hyb-Seq. [PDF]
Premise Apocynaceae is the 10th largest flowering plant family and a focus for study of plant–insect interactions, especially as mediated by secondary metabolites. However, it has few genomic resources relative to its size. Target capture sequencing is a powerful approach for genome reduction that facilitates studies requiring data from the nuclear ...

A target enrichment probe set for resolving phylogenetic relationships in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Rubiaceae is among the most species‐rich plant families, as well as one of the most morphologically and geographically diverse. Currently available phylogenies have mostly relied on few genomic and plastid loci, as opposed to large‐scale genomic data.

Application of Partial Internal Transcribed Spacer Sequences for the Discrimination of Artemisia capillaris from Other Artemisia Species. [PDF]
Several Artemisia species are used as herbal medicines including the dried aerial parts of Artemisia capillaris, which are used as Artemisiae Capillaris Herba (known as “Injinho” in Korean medicinal terminology and “Yin Chen Hao” in Chinese). In this study, we developed tools for distinguishing between A.

A new species of Tabernaemontana (Apocynaceae; Rauvolfioideae: Tabernaemontaneae) from Mexico
A new species of Tabernaemontana from south-eastern Mexico is described and illustrated. Tabernaemontana riverae is separated from all known species of the genus by its long elliptic–lanceolate sepals and infundibuliform corolla. The new species is endemic to Mexico and only observed in the states of Oaxaca, Tabasco, and Veracruz.

Ornamental exterior versus therapeutic interior of Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus): the two faces of a versatile herb. [PDF]
Catharanthus roseus (L.) known as Madagascar periwinkle (MP) is a legendary medicinal plant mostly because of possessing two invaluable antitumor terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs), vincristine and vinblastine. The plant has also high aesthetic value as an evergreen ornamental that yields prolific blooms of splendid colors.

A new species of Cascabela (Apocynaceae; Rauvolfioideae, Plumerieae) from Michoacán, Mexico
A new species of Cascabela endemic to the Balsas Basin from Michoacán, Mexico is described and illustrated. Cascabela balsaensis can be separated from all known species of the genus because of its elliptic-lanceolate to lanceolate and subcoriaceous leaves with dense pubescence, very small calycine colleters, and shorter corollas.
