Extrapolating demography with climate, proximity and phylogeny: approach with caution [PDF]

, 2016
Plant population responses are key to understanding the effects of threats such as climate change and invasions. However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated.

Variation of terpene alkaloids in Daphniphyllum macropodum across plants and tissues

New Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 1, Page 299-313, July 2024.
Summary Daphniphyllum macropodum produces alkaloids that are structurally complex with polycyclic, stereochemically rich carbon skeletons. Understanding how these compounds are formed by the plant may enable exploration of their biological function and bioactivities.

Project ChemicalBlooms: Collaborating with citizen scientists to survey the chemical diversity and phylogenetic distribution of plant epicuticular wax blooms

Plant Direct, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Plants use chemistry to overcome diverse challenges. A particularly striking chemical trait that some plants possess is the ability to synthesize massive amounts of epicuticular wax that accumulates on the plant's surfaces as a white coating visible to the naked eye.

Host genetics and larval host plant modulate microbiome structure and evolution underlying the intimate insect–microbe–plant interactions in Parnassius species on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
We firstly analyzed population‐level 16S rRNA microbial dataset, comprising 11 Parnassius species covering five subgenera, from 14 populations mostly sampled in mountainous regions across northwestern‐to‐southeastern China, and meanwhile clarified the relative importance of multiple factors on gut microbial community structure and evolution.

The legacy of terrestrial plant evolution on cell wall fine structure

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 1238-1254, April 2024.
Abstract The evolution of land flora was an epochal event in the history of planet Earth. The success of plants, and especially flowering plants, in colonizing all but the most hostile environments required multiple mechanisms of adaptation. The mainly polysaccharide‐based cell walls of flowering plants, which are indispensable for water transport and ...

Nuclear phylogenomics of angiosperms and insights into their relationships and evolution

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 546-578, March 2024.
This review synthesizes numerous nuclear phylogenomic analyses of angiosperms (analyses that resolved the relationships of major clades, most orders, and many families and subgroups) and discusses the improved understanding of angiosperm biogeography, diversification dynamics, and character evolution.

Angiosperm‐wide analysis of fruit and ovary evolution aided by a new nuclear phylogeny supports association of the same ovary type with both dry and fleshy fruits

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 228-251, February 2024.
Phylogenetic analysis and molecular dating elucidate relationships for orders and families, trace crown angiosperms’ Triassic origin, unveil parallel carpel fusions in early eudicots, monocots, and magnoliids and associate specific fruit types sharing the same ovary type.

Angiosperm flowers reached their highest morphological diversity early in their evolutionary history

New Phytologist, Volume 241, Issue 3, Page 1348-1360, February 2024.
Summary Flowers are the complex and highly diverse reproductive structures of angiosperms. Because of their role in sexual reproduction, the evolution of flowers is tightly linked to angiosperm speciation and diversification. Accordingly, the quantification of floral morphological diversity (disparity) among angiosperm subgroups and through time may ...

Chemosystematics of the Rosiflorae

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The superorder Rosiflorae (sensu Dahlgren, 1980) belongs to the Angiospermae. It comprises twelve orders and thirty-eight families formed of species with varied habits widely distributed in temperate regions. The chemistry of Rosiflorae species is highly
