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...
Molecular phylogenetics of the orchid Himantoglossum
The first comprehensive molecular phylogeny for Lizard orchids (Himantoglossum), sampling all known taxa across the whole distribution area of the genus.
Is Drosera meristocaulis the carnivorous plant that walked?
In the classic novel The Day of the Triffids carnivorous plants hunted a blinded human population. Drosera meristocaulis cannot walk, but that makes it even more peculiar because its not found where you’d expect...

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...
Molecular phylogenetics of Eurasian Aster
The classification and phylogeny of Eurasian (EA) Aster remain poorly resolved. Li et al. use nrDNA ITS, and ETS and cpDNA trnL-F sequences to delimit EA Aster sensu stricto and to elucidate phylogenetic relationships...
Phylogenetics of the Spathelia–Ptaeroxylon clade
Phylogenetics of the Spathelia–Ptaeroxylon clade The genera of the Spathelia–Ptaeroxylon clade are strikingly different in terms of morphology and have been included in several families of the Sapindales. Appelhans et...
