The genome sequence of black horehound, Ballota nigra L. subsp. foetida (Lam.) Hayek (Lamiaceae).
We present a genome assembly from a specimen of (black horehound; Tracheophyta; Magnoliopsida; Lamiales; Lamiaceae). The genome sequence is 1186.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Three mitochondrial chromosomes were assembled, with lengths of 148,17, 121,67 and 125,74 kilobases. The chloroplast genome has...Christenhusz, Maarten J.

The genome sequence of common fleabane, Pulicaria dysenterica (L.) Bernh. (Asteraceae).
We present a genome assembly from an individual (common fleabane; Tracheophyta; Magnoliopsida; Asterales; Asteraceae). The genome sequence is 833.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genomes were assembled and have lengths of 375.47 kilobases and 150.94 kilobases respectively.Christenhusz, Maarten J.

A multi-taxon analysis of European Red Lists reveals major threats to biodiversity.
Biodiversity loss is a major global challenge and minimizing extinction rates is the goal of several multilateral environmental agreements. Policy decisions require comprehensive, spatially explicit information on species’ distributions and threats. We present an analysis of the conservation status of 14,669 European terrestrial, freshwater and marine species (ca. 10% of... -

A taxonomic overview of Orchis sect. Robustocalcare (Orchidaceae).
Orchis patens has previously been considered to consist of three widely disjunct populations in northern Italy, Algeria/Tunisia and the Canary Islands. The last is already commonly treated as O. canariensis, but because the type of O. patens is from the Algerian populations, the name of the Italian taxon has been...Calevo, Jacopo ; Christenhusz, Maarten J.

Genome Size Doubling Arises From the Differential Repetitive DNA Dynamics in the Genus Heloniopsis (Melanthiaceae).
Plant genomes are highly diverse in size and repetitive DNA composition. In the absence of polyploidy, the dynamics of repetitive elements, which make up the bulk of the genome in many species, are the main drivers underpinning changes in genome size and the overall evolution of the genomic landscape. The...Pellicer, Jaume ; Fernández, Pol ; Fay, Michael F. ; Michálková, Ester ; Leitch, Ilia J.

Rapid Parallel Adaptation to Anthropogenic Heavy Metal Pollution.
The impact of human-mediated environmental change on the evolutionary trajectories of wild organisms is poorly understood. In particular, capacity of species to adapt rapidly (in hundreds of generations or less), reproducibly and predictably to extreme environmental change is unclear. Silene uniflora is predominantly a coastal species, but it has also...Papadopulos, Alexander S.T. ; Helmstetter, Andrew J. ; Osborne, Owen G. ; Comeault, Aaron A. ; Wood, Daniel P. …

Molecular evidence of species- and subspecies-level distinctions in the rare Orchis patens s.l. and implications for conservation
Characterizing genetic diversity and structure of populations is essential for the effective conservation of threatened species. Orchis patens sensu lato is a narrowly distributed tetraploid species with a disjunct distribution (i.e., Northern Italy, North Africa and the Canary Islands), which is facing a severe decline. In this study, we evaluated...Calevo, Jacopo ; Gargiulo, Roberta ; Bersweden, Leif ; Viruel, Juan ; González-Montelongo, Cristina …

Current knowledge, status, and future for plant and fungal diversity in Great Britain and the UK Overseas Territories
Societal Impact Statement We rely on plants and fungi for most aspects of our lives. Yet plants and fungi are under threat, and we risk losing species before we know their identity, roles, and potential uses. Knowing names, distributions, and threats are first steps toward effective conservation action. Accessible products... -

Lost and Found: Coffea stenophylla and C. affinis, the Forgotten Coffee Crop Species of West Africa.
Coffea arabica (Arabica) and C. canephora (robusta) almost entirely dominate global coffee production. Various challenges at the production (farm) level, including the increasing prevalence and severity of disease and pests and climate change, indicate that the coffee crop portfolio needs to be substantially diversified in order to ensure resilience and...Davis, Aaron P. ; Gargiulo, Roberta ; Fay, Michael F. ; Sarmu, Daniel ; Haggar, Jeremy

Flowers and inflorescences of eudicots
Angiosperms dominate our terrestrial ecosystems, and the remarkable flowers and inflorescences have evolved into a spectacular and remarkably diversity. However, despite much research on their unique reproductive structures, there is still much that we do not know about how angiosperms rose to such dominance, how the first flowers evolved and...Bachelier, Julien B. ; Fay, Michael F.
