DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1318
Abstract: PREMISE Ring species have long fascinated evolutionary biologists for their potential insights into lineage divergence and speciation across space. Few studies have investigated the potential for convergent or parallel evolution along the diverging fronts of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16067
Abstract: Abstract Premise Genetic variation influences the potential for evolution to rescue populations from impacts of environmental change. Most studies of genetic variation in fitness‐related traits focus on either vegetative or floral traits, with few on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00173134.2021.1882556
Abstract: Abstract The present study describes the floral morphology and evaluates pollen viability for the bromeliad Nidularium minutum Mez. during the flowering period 2018‒2019 through histochemistry and pollen germination tests. The inflorescences are nidular, capituliform with… read more here.

Fine Tuning Floral Morphology: MADS-Box Protein Complex Formation in Maize[OPEN]
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Plant Cell"
DOI: 10.1105/tpc.20.00818
Abstract: Plant floral organ development is orchestrated by master regulatory genes that control the differentiation of meristem tissue. According to the ABC(DE) model of flower development ([Bowman et al., 1989][1]; nicely summarized by [Irish, 2017][2]), different… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants12081602
Abstract: Classification of the banana family (Musaceae) into three genera, Musa, Ensete and Musella, and infrageneric ranking are still ambiguous. Within the genus Musa, five formerly separated sections were recently merged into sections Musa and Callimusa… read more here.

The floral morphology of four Chinese Bambusa species (Poaceae, Bambusoideae) previously described only from vegetative material
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PhytoKeys"
DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.213.95614
Abstract: Abstract Due to their specialised flowering biology where frequent or even annual flowering is uncommon, reproductive materials of bamboos are not always available, so hampering taxonomic interpretation and research into other aspects. Bambusacontracta, B.corniculata, B.cornigera… read more here.
