Comprising 501 genera and around 14,000 species, Papilionoideae is not only the largest
subfamily of Fabaceae (Leguminosae; legumes), but also one of the most extraordinarily …

Cryptic species are commonly misidentified because of high morphological similarities to
other species. One group of plants that may harbor large numbers of cryptic species is the …

Abstract Background and Aims Allopolyploidy is an important driver of diversification and a
key contributor to genetic novelty across the tree of life. However, many studies have …

Isoëtes are iconic but understudied wetland plants, despite having suffered severe losses
globally mainly because of alterations in their habitats. We therefore provide the first global …

Abstract Background Merlin's grass (Isoetes, Isoetaceae, Lycopsida), is the extant remnant
of the isoetalean wood-producing lycopsids that originated during the Paleozoic, possibly in …

RNA editing is a post-transcriptional process that challenges the central dogma of molecular
biology by modifying RNA sequences, introducing nucleotide changes at specific sites, and …

Although extant lycophytes represent the most ancient surviving lineage of early vascular
plants, their plastomic diversity has long been neglected. The ancient evolutionary history …

Both geographic isolation and polyploidization are assumed to play an important role in
driving species diversification. However, this is rarely illustrated through phylogenomic …

Ipomoea is a large pantropical genus globally distributed, which importance goes beyond
the economic value as food resources or ornamental crops. This highly diverse genus has …

Premise The isoetalean lineage has a rich fossil record that extends to the Devonian, but the
age of the living clade is unclear. Recent results indicate that it is young, from the Cenozoic …
