Forty years of research into Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in the genus Clusia : anatomy, ecophysiology and evolution.
Clusia is the only genus containing dicotyledonous trees with a capacity to perform Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). Since the discovery of CAM in Clusia, 40 years ago, several studies have highlighted the extraordinary plasticity and diversity of life forms, morphology, and photosynthetic physiology of this genus. In this review we...Luján, Manuel ; Leverett, Alistair ; Winter, Klaus

From “New Botany” to “New Systematics”: an historical perspective on the Jodrell Laboratory.
Kew’s Jodrell Laboratory was established in 1876 as a centre for botanical research in disciplines including plant physiology, anatomy and embryology, palaeobotany and mycology. Despite relatively little available funding, its location in one of the world’s largest botanic gardens and close to several well-curated plant collections has ensured its continued... -

Evolutionary history of the grass gynoecium.
The grass family (Poaceae) includes cereal crops that provide a key food source for the human population. The food industry uses the starch deposited in the cereal grain, which develops directly from the gynoecium. Morphological interpretation of the grass gynoecium remains controversial. We re-examine earlier hypotheses and studies of morphology... -

Flower and Spikelet Construction in Rapateaceae (Poales).
The family Rapateaceae represents an early-divergent lineage of Poales with biotically pollinated showy flowers. We investigate developmental morphology and anatomy in all three subfamilies and five tribes of Rapateaceae to distinguish between contrasting hypotheses on spikelet morphology and to address questions on the presence of nectaries and gynoecium structure. We...Koblova, Sofia D. ; Rudall, Paula J. ; Sokoloff, Dmitry D. ; Stevenson, Dennis W. ; Remizowa, Margarita V.
