Perennial life cycles enable plants to have remarkably long lifespans, as exemplified by
trees that can live for thousands of years. For this, they require sophisticated regulatory …

Despite evolutionary conserved mechanisms to silence transposable element activity, there
are drastic differences in the abundance of transposable elements even among closely …

In plants, epigenetic variation contributes to phenotypic differences in developmental traits.
At the mechanistic level, this variation is conferred by DNA methylation and histone …

Abstract Background and Aims Tribe Arabideae are the most species-rich monophyletic
lineage in Brassicaceae. More than 500 species are distributed in the majority of mountain …

Variation in life history contributes to reproductive success in different environments.
Divergence of annual and perennial angiosperm species is an extreme example that has …

We are developing an onlineaccessible knowledge and database system of
crossreferenced information and resources on Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) taxonomy …

Centromere position may change despite conserved chromosomal collinearity. Centromere
repositioning and evolutionary new centromeres (ENCs) were frequently encountered …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The Irano‐Turanian region harbors three biodiversity hotspots
and∼ 25% of Brassicaceae species are endemic to the region. Aethionema (∼ 61 species) …

Chloroplast capture occurs when the chloroplast of one plant species is introgressed into
another plant species. The phylogenies of nuclear and chloroplast markers from East Asian …

Ricotia (Brassicaceae) is a genus of nine species endemic to the eastern Mediterranean
region. Its phylogenetic relationships, monophyly, and tribal placement have not yet been …
