DOI: 10.1007/s00035-019-00219-1
Abstract: Polyploidisation—and, additionally, agmatoploidy (concerted fission of chromosomes) in some plant groups—have significantly contributed to the diversification of alpine plant species. Both processes have driven the diversification of Luzula sect. Luzula, leading to a number of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-40050-6
Abstract: Global herbaria are the greatest repositories of information on the plant kingdom. Discoveries of trace element hyperaccumulator plants have historically required time-consuming destructive chemical analysis of fragments from herbarium specimens, which severely constrains the collection of large… read more here.
