Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism
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 role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission
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.

Phylogenetic congruence between subtropical trees and their associated fungi. [PDF]
Recent studies have detected phylogenetic signals in pathogen-host networks for both soil-borne and leaf-infecting fungi, suggesting that pathogenic fungi may track or coevolve with their preferred hosts.

Systematic anatomy of the woods of the Burseraceae
The author describes the anatomy of the Burseraceae log and compares it with that of Anacardiaceae, Rutaceae, Simaroubaceae and Meliaceae. The similarities in the structure of his logs suggest the possibility of a common origin; those of Meliaceae show ...
