Phylogenetics, genome size evolution and population genetics of slipper orchids in the subfamily Cypripedioideae (Orchidaceae).
Slipper orchids (subfamily Cypripedioideae) comprise five genera; Paphiopedilum, Cypripedium, Phragmipedium, Selenipedium, and Mexipedium. Phylogenetic relationships of the genus Paphiopedilum, were studied using nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid sequence data. The results confirm that Paphiopedilum is monophyletic and support the division of the genus into three subgenera Parvisepalum, Brachypetalum and Paphiopedilum....Chochai, Araya

The botany and macroscopy of Chinese materia medica: sources, substitutes and sustainability.
Interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is global. The burgeoning international trade in its crude and processed plant ingredients (Chinese materia medica - CMM) reflects demand across all sectors of healthcare, yet the identification of source plants and CMM has been overlooked for many years leading to problems in safety,...Leon, Christine

Haageocereus: Taxonomy for the Conservation of the Genus in Peru.
The genus Haageocereus (Cactaceae) is mostly endemic o f Peru, occupying arid areas draining westwards o f Andes. In Peru, Haageocereus is found between 50 to 2800 m, from 79°54’W, 5°7’S (dept. Piura) to 70°52’W, 18°0’S (dept. Tacna). The understanding of this genus has been limited by several nomenclature problems...Moya-Mendez, Natalia Calderon

Phylogenetic relationships of Fabales, the effect of outgroups on Fabales topology and the evolution of keel flowers within the order.
Fabales is a cosmopolitan angiosperm order which consists of four families, Leguminosae (Fabaceae), Polygalaceae, Surianaceae and Quillajaceae. Despite the great interest of botanists, a convincing phylogeny of the order is still not available because almost every phylogenetic study reveals a different scheme of relationships amongst families of the order. Therefore,...Aygoren Uluer, Deniz

Fungal interactions with vascular and non-vascular plants: an investigation of mutualisms and their roles in heathland regeneration.
Mycorrhizal mutualisms between aboveground vascular plant communities, which reward their belowground fungal associates with photosynthates in return for growth-limiting nutrients such as phosphate, are widely recognized as stable long-term interactions which helped plants colonize land. Pezoloma ericae (D.J. Read) Baral, an ascomycete mycorrhiza-forming fungus present amongst plants in the Ericales,...Kowal, Jill
