Stomatal evolution and plant adaptation to future climate.
Global climate change is affecting plant photosynthesis and transpiration processes, as well as increasing weather extremes impacting socio‐political and environmental events and decisions for decades to come. One major research challenge in plant biology and ecology is the interaction of photosynthesis with the environment. Stomata control plant gas exchange and... -

Marsh-orchids of Canada: long-standing mysteries partially solved.
Between 1959 and 1988, three populations of purple-flowered terrestrial orchids attributable to subgenus were discovered in Canada. The populations at Timmins, Ontario, and St John's, Newfoundland were strongly marked on both flowers and leaves, in contrast with the anthocyanin-deficient population at Tilt Cove, Newfoundland. All three populations have since experienced... -

Molecular phylogenetics of Distephanus supports the recognition of a new tribe, Distephaneae (Asteraceae).
Distephanus Cass. comprises 43 distinctive species of shrubs and small trees that have been placed historically within the ironweed tribe, Vernonieae (Asteraceae). Using the most expansive sampling of Distephanus to date, this study aims to test the monophyly of this genus and facilitate its classification. Molecular phylogenetic analyses were conducted...Gostel, M. R. ; Loeuille, Benoit ; Santana, Mariana Henriques ; Kelloff, Carol L ; Chan, Raymund …

Phylogenomics and the rise of the angiosperms
Angiosperms are the cornerstone of most terrestrial ecosystems and human livelihoods1,2. A robust understanding of angiosperm evolution is required to explain their rise to ecological dominance. So far, the angiosperm tree of life has been determined primarily by means of analyses of the plastid genome3,4. Many studies have drawn on...Zuntini, Alexandre R. ; Carruthers, Tom ; Maurin, Olivier ; Bailey, Paul C. ; Leempoel, Kevin …

Estimation of contemporary effective population size in plant populations: Limitations of genomic datasets.
Effective population size ( ) is a pivotal evolutionary parameter with crucial implications in conservation practice and policy. Genetic methods to estimate have been preferred over demographic methods because they rely on genetic data rather than time‐consuming ecological monitoring. Methods based on linkage disequilibrium (LD), in particular, have become popular...
