Phylogenetic analysis suggests early divergence followed by convergent morphological evolution in the Silene sections Odontopetalae and Sordidae (Caryophyllaceae) [PDF]
PhytoKeysThe genus Silene presents significant taxonomic challenges, particularly for groups such as S. sect. Odontopetalae and the monotypic S. sect. Sordidae. This study investigates the evolutionary relationship between the narrowly endemic Silene sordida and ...

Seed shape and size of Silene latifolia, differences between sexes, and influence of the parental genome in hybrids with Silene dioica [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionPlants undergo various natural changes that dramatically modify their genomes. One is polyploidization and the second is hybridization. Both are regarded as key factors in plant evolution and result in phenotypic differences in different ...
