DOI: 10.1002/advs.202309990
Abstract: Menispermaceae species, as early‐diverging eudicots, can synthesize valuable benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) like bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids (bisBIAs) and sinomenines with a wide range of structural diversity. However, the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for their chemo‐diversity are not well… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-59343-8
Abstract: Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are important metabolites synthesized in early-diverging eudicots and magnoliids, yet the genetic basis of BIA biosynthesis in magnoliids remains unclear. Here, we decode the genomes of two magnoliid species, Saruma henryi and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaa080
Abstract: The early evolution of dinosaurs is documented by abundant postcranial material, but cranial material is much rarer and comparisons of cranial features among early dinosaurs are limited to only a few specimens. Here, we fully… read more here.

Partial mycoheterotrophy in Apostasia wallichii, an early‐diverging Asian tropical orchid
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Plant Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/plb.70004
Abstract: All orchids exhibit mycoheterotrophy during their early development stages, which predisposes certain species to retain this nutritional mode into adulthood. Consequently, many orchids adopt partial mycoheterotrophy, a mixotrophic strategy combining carbon acquisition through both autotrophy… read more here.
