Floral structure and systematics in four orders of rosids, including a broad survey of floral mucilage cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Phylogenetic studies have greatly impacted upon the circumscription of taxa within the rosid clade, resulting in novel relationships at all systematic levels. In many cases the floral structure of these taxa has never been compared, and in some families,

Plasticity for the win: Flexible transcriptional response to host plant switches in the comma butterfly (Polygonia c‐album)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 16, August 2024.
Abstract Generalist plant‐feeding insects are characterised by a broad host repertoire that can comprise several families or even different orders of plants. The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the use of such a wide host range are still not fully understood.

Variation of terpene alkaloids in Daphniphyllum macropodum across plants and tissues

open access: yesNew 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.

Wood Anatomy of Crossosomatales: Patterns of Wood Evolution with Relation to Phylogeny and Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The seven families hypothesized by Sosa and Chase to comprise Crossosomatales possess relatively long vessel elements with scalariform perforation plates and scalariform to opposite vessel-ray pitting; tracheids; diffuse axial parenchyma; and ...

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

open access: yesPlant 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

open access: yesEcology 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.

Molecular Phylogenetics of Phyllanthaceae: Evidence from Plastid MatK and Nuclear PHYC Sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Plastid matK and a fragment of the low-copy nuclear gene PHYC were sequenced for 30 genera of Phyllanthaceae to evaluate tribal and generic delimitation.

The legacy of terrestrial plant evolution on cell wall fine structure

open access: yesPlant, 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 ...
