Are the wing's cells alive? Study case in Vriesea trichomes

Rodriguésia
The presence of peltate foliar trichomes is one of the main anatomical characteristic of Bromeliaceae. These complex structures are adapted to compensate water and nutrient absorption in species that have reduced or substrate and light-reflection ...

Beyond conservation: the landscape of chloroplast genome rearrangements in angiosperms

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2571-2580, September 2025.
Summary Chloroplast genomes (plastomes) have long been considered structurally conserved, but recent sequencing efforts have uncovered pervasive rearrangements that challenge this assumption. This review catalogues the main types of plastome modifications: large and small inversions; insertions and deletions (indels); gene and intron losses; horizontal

Leaf Epidermis of the Rheophyte Dyckia brevifolia Baker (Bromeliaceae)

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Some species of Dyckia Schult. f., including Dyckia brevifolia Baker, are rheophytes that live in the fast‐moving water currents of streams and rivers which are subject to frequent flooding, but also period of low water. This study aimed to analyze the leaf epidermis of D.

Endemism Centres of the Five Richest Vascular Epiphyte Families in the Neotropics

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 80-91, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Endemic species, characterised by limited geographic ranges, face a high risk of extinction. The neotropical region harbours diverse ecosystems and a substantial number of endemic species, thus identifying areas of high endemism is crucial for protecting unique and threatened species and ecosystems.

Potential bottom‐up control of Metamasius callizona in Florida, USA

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 172, Issue 5, Page 409-421, May 2024.
Tillandsia utriculata (Bromeliaceae), a native bromeliad in Florida, USA, is in danger of being extirpated by an invasive bromeliad‐eating weevil, Metamasius callizona (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). A population of T. utriculata was found in Belize that co‐exists with M. callizona.

Spatiotemporal Variation on Fertility, Mating System, and Gene Flow in Vriesea gigantea (Bromeliaceae), an Atlantic Forest Species

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Knowledge of the patterns of variation in plant mating systems and fitness, in the context of conservation biology, is essential for understanding microscale differences and their probable causes.

Expansions and contractions of the inverted repeat, as well as gene loss and potential pseudogenization shape plastome evolution in Hechtioideae (Bromeliaceae, Poales)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 421-437, May 2024.
Analysis of complete plastome sequences obtained by whole‐genome sequencing improved statistical support across different phylogenetic depths in Hechtioideae and allowed the identification of highly informative loci previously unexplored in this lineage.

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.
