Early Events in Monocot Evolution.
Tracing the evolution of one of the most ancient major branches of flowering plants, this is a wide-ranging survey of state-of-the-art research on the early clades of the monocot phylogenetic tree. It explores a series of broad but linked themes, providing for the first time a detailed and coherent view...Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

Genomic insights into rapid speciation within the world’s largest tree genus Syzygium.
Species radiations, despite immense phenotypic variation, can be difficult to resolve phylogenetically when genetic change poorly matches the rapidity of diversification. Genomic potential furnished by palaeopolyploidy, and relative roles for adaptation, random drift and hybridisation in the apportionment of genetic variation, remain poorly understood factors. Here, we study these aspects...Low, Yee Wen ; Rajaraman, Sitaram ; Tomlin, Crystal M. ; Ahmad, Joffre Ali ; Ardi, Wisnu H. …

The Welwitschia genome reveals a unique biology underpinning extreme longevity in deserts.
The gymnosperm Welwitschia mirabilis belongs to the ancient, enigmatic gnetophyte lineage. It is a unique desert plant with extreme longevity and two ever-elongating leaves. We present a chromosome-level assembly of its genome (6.8 Gb/1 C) together with methylome and transcriptome data to explore its astonishing biology. We also present a refined, high-quality assembly...Wan, Tao ; Liu, Zhiming ; Leitch, Ilia J. ; Xin, Haiping ; Maggs-Kölling, Gillian …
