This review considers the relationship between the lifespan of an individual plant and the
longevity of its component cells, tissues and organs. It begins by defining the terms …

Plant function requires effective mechanisms to regulate water transport at a variety of
scales. Here, we develop a new theoretical framework describing plant responses to drying …

We use the molecular data available for the plant genera currently distributed in the
Canaries to propose a hypothetical framework that updates the Surfing Syngameon …

Abstract 'C4 photosynthesis' refers to a suite of traits that increase photosynthesis in high
light and high temperature environments. Most C4 plants are grasses, which dominate …

Divergence times and biogeographical analyses have been conducted within the Loliinae,
one of the largest subtribes of temperate grasses. New sequence data from representatives …

Abstract Background and Aims Plant evolution is well known to be frequently associated
with remarkable changes in genome size and composition; however, the knowledge of long …

Parental conflicts can lead to antagonistic coevolution of the sexes and of parental
genomes. Within a population, the resulting antagonistic effects should balance, but crosses …

Plant nuclear genomes exhibit extensive structural variation in size, chromosome number,
number and arrangement of genes, and number of genome copies per nucleus. This …

Identifying how organismal attributes and environmental change affect lineage
diversification is essential to our understanding of biodiversity. With the largest phylogeny …

Circumscriptions of and relationships among many genera and suprageneric taxa of the
diverse grass tribe Poeae remain controversial. In an attempt to clarify these, we conducted …
