Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of the traditional medicinal plants Rhodiola rosea (Saxifragales: Crassulaceae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018 Rhodiola rosea L. is used in herbal medicine in many countries for a long time. Here, its complete chloroplast genome was assembled and annotated. The genome is 151,348 bp long and comprises a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 25,790 bp each), a ...

Strong foraging preferences for Ribes alpinum (Saxifragales: Grossulariaceae) in the polyphagous caterpillars of Buff‐tip moth Phalera bucephala (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Herbivorous insects such as butterflies and moths are essential to natural and agricultural systems due to pollination and pest outbreaks. However, our knowledge of butterflies' and moths' nutrition is fragmented and limited to few common, charismatic ...

Codon Usage Analyses Reveal the Evolutionary Patterns among Plastid Genes of Saxifragales at a Larger-Sampling Scale. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2023 Saxifragales is a 15-family order of early-divergent Eudicots with a rich morphological diversity and an ancient rapid radiation. Codon usage bias (CUB) analyses have emerged as an essential tool for understanding the evolutionary dynamics in genes.

Discovery of the photosynthetic relatives of the "Maltese mushroom"
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005 Background Although recent molecular phylogenetic studies have identified the photosynthetic relatives of several enigmatic holoparasitic angiosperms, uncertainty remains for the last parasitic plant order, Balanophorales, often considered to include two

Phylogeny of Saxifragales (Angiosperms, Eudicots): Analysis of a Rapid, Ancient Radiation [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2001 Rapid, ancient radiations pose one of the most difficult challenges for phylogenetic estimation. We used DNA sequence data of 9,006 aligned base pairs from five genes (chloroplast atpB, matK, rbcL, and 18S and 26S nrDNA) to elucidate relationships among major lineages of Saxifragales (angiosperms, eudicots). These relationships were poorly supported in

The influence of habitat on the evolution of plants: a case study across Saxifragales [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2016 Organismal evolution tends to be closely associated with ecological conditions. However, the extent to which this association constrains adaptation or diversification into new habitats remains unclear. We studied habitat evolution in the hyper-diverse angiosperm clade Saxifragales.We used species-level phylogenies for approx. 950 species to analyse the
