Everything Everywhere All at Once? Disentangling the long-lasting riddle of phylogenetic relationships and cryptic hybridization in the amphitropical genus Larrea
Background and Aims The genus Larrea has an amphitropical distribution in North and South American deserts, and its phylogeny remains unresolved. This genus is conspicuous and specious within the Monte Desert, the largest, although understudied, southern South American dryland. Larrea presents an interesting case for ...

Novel Perspectives on Plastome Evolution in Onagraceae
Previous systematic studies have generated abundant information on plants in family Onagraceae Juss., making this taxonomic group a model for understanding plant evolution. The chloroplast genome is widely used to provide valuable insights into how plant lineages evolved. In the present study, we employed shotgun ...

LIFE4Pollinators’ Platform: How Citizen Science Can Help Monitoring Plants and Pollinators
Plant diversity is critical to ensure the future of humanity, as it provides essential ecosystem services and functioning. As recent estimates showed that animal-mediated pollination is crucial for the reproduction of approximately 90% of flowering plants, playing an essential role in maintaining biodiversity and ...

Seeing right through it: X-ray analyses of Uniola paniculata L. spikelets reveal seed production patterns across a wide spatial distribution
Coastal dunes represent globally important ecosystems heavily impacted by human activities and requiring nature-based restoration solutions. Plants with dune building and stabilizing traits typically represent the dominant vegetation. Such species can have ranges extending > 1000 km albeit in fragmented populations. ...

A Spatio-Temporal Model Of Embolism Propagation In Leaf Vein Networks
Leaf veins hydrate and sustain leaf tissue for photosynthesis. During drought and freeze events, embolisms can form in xylem conduits, ceasing the transport of water. Understanding the formation and propagation of embolisms is crucial to predicting species’ responses to a changing climate. We develop a novel spatiotemporal ...

Multi-omics integrated analysis reveals the impact of cytokinin on sex differentiation in industrial hemp
To increase the cannabidiol (CBD) content of industrial hemp, male hemp was screened out by spraying cytokinin at the three-leaf stage of seedlings, and more female hemp was cultivated. 6-BA 60 mg·L −1 treated female flowers of industrial hemp were subjected to transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses to ...
