A new spin on Darwin’s “abominable mystery”
Darwin may indeed not have been referring to angiosperms broadly in his famous words to his friend.
Leaf composites better than single leaves at capturing species differences
Accurate species prediction depended on adequate sampling and straightforward genetic background.
Clonal female populations dominate the tropical herb genus, Hanguana
Can apomixis explain the distribution of Hanguana individuals in Singapore?
Settling the debate: Plum ‘yews’ are in a separate family to yews
New genomic study assembled the plastid genomes of plum yews to understand their evolution.
Spreading the risk over time – Dormancy in trimorphic achenes of a cold desert annual
Do variations in dormancy and germination across achenes from peripheral, intermediate and central positions contribute to the success of the cold desert annual Heteracia szovitsii?
The molecular evolution of vitamin C biosynthesis in plants
What are the molecular evolutionary patterns of the GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase gene in plants?
Fossil eucalypt species older and more broadly distributed than previously thought
This is the first confirmed finding of Myrtaceidites eucalyptoides outside Australia.
Flowering time likely an important driver of speciation in South African Restionaceae
Allochrony is one of few ways for wind-pollinated species to achieve reproductive isolation.
Tree root identification saves ancient caves and the forest above them
Barcoding and morphology combined allowed identification and targeted removal of problem trees.
