Unraveling Biogeographic Boundaries Within the Sierra Madre Oriental, México: An Endemicity Analysis Using a Taxonomically Diverse Dataset. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We provide boundaries of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico through a multi‐taxa endemicity analysis. ABSTRACT The Sierra Madre Oriental (SMO) is a significant mountain range and one of Mexico's 14 biogeographical provinces. Its delimitation has been debated.

Dual Isotope Analysis Reveals Phylogenetic Patterns and Novel Insights Into Methoxy Group Synthesis of Structural Biomolecules in Leaf and Woody Plant Tissues. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Stable carbon and hydrogen isotopes of wood methoxy groups (δ2Hmeth, δ13Cmeth), mainly sourced by structural biomolecules like lignin and pectin, provide important insights into climatic, hydrological and physiological conditions. This study systematically investigated species‐specific δ2Hmeth and δ13Cmeth variations in leaves and woody twigs ...

Degradation of key photosynthetic genes in the critically endangered semi-aquatic flowering plant Saniculiphyllum guangxiense (Saxifragaceae)

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Plastid gene loss and pseudogenization has been widely documented in parasitic and mycoheterotrophic plants, which have relaxed selective constraints on photosynthetic function.

The Conservation of Chloroplast Genome Structure and Improved Resolution of Infrafamilial Relationships of Crassulaceae

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Crassulaceae are the largest family in the angiosperm order Saxifragales. Species of this family are characterized by succulent leaves and a unique photosynthetic pathway known as Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Altingia excelsa

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Altingia excelsa was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,861 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 89,126 bp and a small ...

Phylogenetic congruence between subtropical trees and their associated fungi. [PDF]

, 2016
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.

W(h)ither Fossils? Studying Morphological Character Evolution in the Age of Molecular Sequences [PDF]

, 2008
A major challenge in the post-genomics era will be to integrate molecular sequence data from extant organisms with morphological data from fossil and extant taxa into a single, coherent picture of phylogenetic relationships; only then will these ...
