Breeding system evolution in Ficus and Moraceae
Diverse breeding systems have evolved in angiosperms from the bisexual flowers of their last common ancestor. However, breeding system evolution remains poorly understood in many plant families, including the Moraceae...

The transition from scalariform-to-simple vessel perforation plates
Flowering plants with simple vessel perforations have evolved from species bearing scalariform perforations but there is a scarcity of integrative studies explaining why these transitions in wood evolution have happened...

Breeding system diversification and evolution in Poa
Species of Poa show an exceptional diversity in breeding systems represented by the occurrence of hermaphroditism to dioecism, with gynomonoecy very frequent among species in South America. Giussani et al. contribute to...
Evolutionary history of Afro-Madagascan Ixora
The pantropical genus Ixora is one of the largest genera in Rubiaceae, with approximately 530 species. Tosh et al. conduct phylogenetic analyses based on four plastid and two nuclear ribosomal markers to infer the...
Genetic relationships of section Arachis specie
Section Arachis includes cultivated peanut (A. hypogaea), an allotetraploid, and closely related wild species, most of which are diploids. Moretzsohn et al. use sequences from three single-copy genes and microsatellite...
