Phylogeny, age and adaptive evolution of genus Allium
The genus Allium L., one of the largest monocotyledonous genera and one that includes many economically important crops with nutritional and medicinal value, has been the focus of classification or phylogeny studies for...
Shoot apical meristem and plant body organization: a cross-species comparative study
The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is the key organizing element of the plant body. Surprisingly, there are almost no across-species comparative data showing links between the SAM and whole-plant traits such as leaf size...

Vegetative reproduction enhances polyploid speciation
Polyploidy, defined as multiplication of the whole chromosome complement, is arguably the single most important mechanism in plant speciation and diversification. Herben et al. perform phylogenetic regressions of clonal...
Purple acid phosphatase genes in soybean
Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are members of the metallo-phosphoesterase family and have been known to play important roles in P acquisition and recycling in plants. Li et al. identify 35 PAP genes from genomes of...
Evolution, classification and biogeography of Velloziaceae
There is considerable discord among treatments of the Velloziaceae despite the large amount of data that exists for this family. Mello-Silva et al. undertake analyses of 48 species representing all ten genera, including...
