Convergent evolution in calyptrate flowers of Syzygieae (Myrtaceae)
Abstract Shedding a fused perianth as a calyptra at anthesis is a trait that has evolved independently multiple times in angiosperm evolutionary history. However, calyptras do not correspond to homologous structures in all cases. Here, we describe calyptra development in the evolutionary context of Myrtaceae tribe Syzygieae. We use scanning...Vasconcelos, Thais N C ; Lucas, Eve J ; Conejero, Maria ; Giaretta, Augusto ; Prenner, Gerhard

Genome size variation at constant chromosome number is not correlated with repetitive DNA dynamism in Anacyclus (Asteraceae)
Abstract Background and Aims Changes in the amount of repetitive DNA (dispersed and tandem repeats) are considered the main contributors to genome size variation across plant species in the absence of polyploidy. However, the study of repeatome dynamism in groups showing contrasting genomic features and complex evolutionary histories is needed...Vitales, Daniel ; Álvarez, Inés ; Garcia, Sònia ; Hidalgo, Oriane ; Nieto Feliner, Gonzalo …

Nomenclatural notes on Iris haussknechtii (Iridaceae)
The nomenclatural notes, discussed in the present communication, are based on the revision of Iris Linnaeus (1753: 38) names described from Turkey, considering this genus in its wide sense (e.g., Dykes 1924, Mathew 1989, Güner 2012). Iris haussknechtii Bornm. ex Baker (1892: 4) is a species endemic to Turkey referred...Boltenkov, Eugeny ; Govaerts, Rafaël

Rubroshiraia gen. nov., a second hypocrellin-producing genus in Shiraiaceae (Pleosporales)
Shiraiaceae is an important family in Pleosporales (Dothideomycetes), which includes medical fungi and plant pathogens. Two hypocrellin-producing taxa, Shiraia bambusicola and a novel genus Rubroshiraiagen. nov., typified by Rubroshiraia bambusae are treated in this article. Maximum likelihood analysis, generated via RAxML (GTR+G model), using a combined SSU, LSU, TEF1 and...Dai, Dong-Qin ; Wijayawardene, Nalin N. ; Tang, Li-Zhou ; Liu, Chao ; Han, Li-Hong …
