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 …

Genome of Pythium myriotylum Uncovers an Extensive Arsenal of Virulence-Related Genes among the Broad-Host-Range Necrotrophic Pythium Plant Pathogens.
species are oomycetes, an evolutionarily distinct group of filamentous fungus-like stramenopiles. The genus includes several pathogens of important crop species, e.g., the spice ginger. The (Peronosporales, Oomycota) genus includes devastating plant pathogens that cause widespread diseases and severe crop losses. Here, we have uncovered a far greater arsenal of virulence...Daly, Paul ; Zhou, Dongmei ; Shen, Danyu ; Chen, Yifan ; Xue, Taiqiang …

The ECAT dataset: expert-validated distribution data of endemic and sub-endemic trees of Central Africa (Dem. Rep. Congo, Rwanda, Burundi).
In this data paper, we present a specimen-based occurrence dataset compiled in the framework of the Conservation of Endemic Central African Trees (ECAT) project with the aim of producing global conservation assessments for the IUCN Red List. The project targets all tree species endemic or sub-endemic to the Central African... -

A new combination is required in Conocliniopsis (Compositae: Eupatorieae: Gyptidinae).
A new combination, , in R.M.King & H.Rob. (Compositae: Eupatorieae: Gyptidinae) is provided. An earlier assessment of Prince Maximilian Wied-Neuwied’s collections (sent by Martius to Colla), proposed that Colla’s was a new synonym of (Kunth) R.M.King & H.Rob., a Colombian endemic. A critical assessment of Wied’s collection has indicated that...Hind, D. J. Nicholas

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. …
