New plastome structural rearrangements discovered in core Tillandsioideae (Bromeliaceae) support recently adopted taxonomy [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Full plastome sequences for land plants have become readily accessible thanks to the development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques and powerful bioinformatic tools. Despite this vast amount of genomic data, some lineages remain understudied.

Plastome phylogenomics reveals an early Pliocene North- and Central America colonization by long-distance dispersal from South America of a highly diverse bromeliad lineage [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Understanding the spatial and temporal frameworks of species diversification is fundamental in evolutionary biology. Assessing the geographic origin and dispersal history of highly diverse lineages of rapid diversification can be hindered by the lack of ...

More than Scales: Evidence for the Production and Exudation of Mucilage by the Peltate Trichomes of Tillandsia cyanea (Bromeliaceae: Tillandsioideae) [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Bromeliad scales have been investigated extensively due to their recognition as a key ecological and evolutionary feature of Bromeliaceae. However, much remains unknown about such trichomes and only recently mucilage exudation was described for them in a

Genome Skimming Reveals Widespread Hybridization in a Neotropical Flowering Plant Radiation [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The tropics hold at least an order of magnitude greater plant diversity than the temperate zone, yet the reasons for this difference are still subject to debate.

Bromeliaceae subfamilies show divergent trends of genome size evolution. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Genome size is known to vary widely across plants. Yet, the evolutionary drivers and consequences of genome size variation across organisms are far from understood.

Prepollination barriers prevent gene flow between co-occurring bat-pollinated bromeliads in a montane forest [PDF]
PeerJBackground Reproductive isolation mechanisms in flowering plants are fundamental to preserving species’ evolutionary independence and to enabling the local coexistence of closely related species.
