Fruit evolution in Hydrophyllaceae
American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 6, Page 925-945, June 2021., 2021 Premise Fruit type and morphology are tightly connected with angiosperm diversification. In Boraginales, the first‐branching families, including Hydrophyllaceae, have one‐ to many‐seeded capsules, whereas most of the remaining families have four‐seeded indehiscent fruits. This fact argues for many‐seeded capsules as the ancestral condition.

Virus‐induced gene silencing as a tool for functional studies in Cleome violacea
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021 Premise Cleomaceae is emerging as a promising family to investigate a wide range of phenomena, such as C4 photosynthesis and floral diversity. However, functional techniques are lacking for elucidating this diversity. Herein, we establish virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) as a method of generating functional data for Cleome violacea, bolstering ...

The location of nectaries and nectar secretion in the flowers of Allium giganteum Regel
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 In the flowers of Allium there are found septal nectaries; in particular species, their outlet can be located in different parts of the ovary. The inflorescences of these plants are a rich source of nectar for insects.

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract The presently most densely sampled molecular phylogeny of the widespread New World subtribe Gonolobinae is presented, including about 35% of the ca. 520 species. Sampling focused on an even representation of the three main areas of total Gonolobinae distribution, South America, Central/North America, and the West Indian Islands, and the ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Multiple signalling increases both prey response and diversity in a carnivorous pitcher plant
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 451-462, February 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organisms across the tree of life use multiple signals such as colour, movement sound, and many types of chemical signals to convey seemingly the same information. These signals are potentially costly, yet the repeated evolution of multiple signalling across systems ...
