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 …

Let’s pluck the daisy: dissection as a tool to explore the diversity of Asteraceae capitula.
Asteraceae, the daisy family, are one of the most diverse families of angiosperms and are predominant in many ecosystems, including grasslands, deserts, savannas and high-elevation mountains. They are characterized by a peculiar inflorescence, the capitulum, which mimics a flower, but is actually made up of many tightly grouped florets. The...Fu, Lin ; Palazzesi, Luis ; Pellicer, Jaume ; Balant, Manica ; Christenhusz, Maarten J M …

Giant Fern Genomes Show Complex Evolution Patterns: A Comparative Analysis in Two Species of Tmesipteris (Psilotaceae).
Giant genomes are rare across the plant kingdom and their study has focused almost exclusively on angiosperms and gymnosperms. The scarce genetic data that are available for ferns, however, indicate differences in their genome organization and a lower dynamism compared to other plant groups. Tmesipteris is a small genus of... -

Novel Insights into the Nature of Intraspecific Genome Size Diversity in Cannabis sativa L.
Cannabis sativa has been used for millennia in traditional medicine for ritual purposes and for the production of food and fibres, thus, providing important and versatile services to humans. The species, which currently has a worldwide distribution, strikes out for displaying a huge morphological and chemical diversity. Differences in Cannabis... -

Cancer and Traditional Plant Knowledge, an Interesting Field to Explore: Data from the Catalan Linguistic Area.
Cancer is the second cause of death in the world and is foreseen to be responsible for about 16 million deaths in 2040. Approximately, 60% of the drugs used to treat cancer are of natural origin. Besides the extensive use of some of these drugs in therapies, such as those... -

Asteraceae as a model system for evolutionary studies: from fossils to genomes.
With c. 24 700 species (10% of all flowering plants), Asteraceae are one of the largest and most phenotypically diverse angiosperm families, with considerable economic and ecological importance. Asteraceae are distributed worldwide, from nearly polar latitudes all the way to the tropics, and occur across a diverse range of habitats...Palazzesi, Luis ; Pellicer, Jaume ; Barreda, Viviana D ; Loeuille, Benoît ; Mandel, Jennifer R …
