Molecules from nature: Reconciling biodiversity conservation and global healthcare imperatives for sustainable use of medicinal plants and fungi

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 2, Issue 5, Page 463-481, September 2020., 2020
Plants and fungi have provided, or inspired, key pharmaceuticals for global health challenges, including cancer, heart disease, dementia, and malaria, and are valued as traditional medicines worldwide. Global demand for medicinal plants and fungi has threatened certain species, contributing to biodiversity loss and depletion of natural resources that ...

Evolution on the backbone: Apocynaceae phylogenomics and new perspectives on growth forms, flowers, and fruits

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 105, Issue 3, Page 495-513, March 2018., 2018
Premise of the Study We provide the largest phylogenetic analyses to date of Apocynaceae in terms of taxa and molecular data as a framework for analyzing the evolution of vegetative and reproductive traits. Methods We produced maximum‐likelihood phylogenies of Apocynaceae using 21 plastid loci sampled from 1045 species (nearly 25% of the family) and ...

Tropical Refuges with Exceptionally High Phylogenetic Diversity Reveal Contrasting Phylogenetic Structures

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biodiversity, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Loss of phylogenetic diversity (PD) has gained increasing attention in conservation biology. However, PD is not equally distributed in a phylogeny and can be better assessed when species relatedness (phylogenetic structure: PS) is also considered. Here, we investigate PD and PS in two refuges of biodiversity in northeastern Brazil: the Bahia Costal ...

PHYLOGENY AND SYSTEMATICS OF THE RAUVOLFIOIDEAE (APOCYNACEAE) BASED ON MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE1

open access: yesAnnals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 2007
Abstract To elucidate deeper relationships within Rauvolfioideae (Apocynaceae), a phylogenetic analysis was conducted using sequences from five DNA regions of the chloroplast genome (matK, rbcL, rpl16 intron, rps16 intron, and 3′ trnK intron), as well as morphology.
