Premise of the Study The evolution of novel fruit morphologies has been integral to the
success of angiosperms. The inflated fruiting calyx, in which the balloon‐like calyx swells to …

The symbiotic relationship between legumes and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia induces local and
systemic responses, which ultimately lead to nodule formation. The autoregulation of …

Premise Solanaceae is a scientifically and economically important angiosperm family with a
minimal fossil record and an intriguing early evolutionary history. Here, we report a newly …

Fossil discoveries can transform our understanding of plant diversification over time and
space. Recently described fossils in many plant families have pushed their known records …

Iochrominae is a largely Andean clade known for its remarkable diversity of floral forms and
colors. Although knowledge of chromosomal changes can provide insights into the …

Physalis is an economically important and morphologically diverse genus of plants with
solitary flowers and fruits that are enveloped by an inflated fruiting calyx. Although work to …

According to the latest phylogenetic and cytogenetic results, Larnax and Deprea should be
merged in order to form a natural group. Consequently, we propose 32 combinations of …

Deprea is the genus with the second highest species richness in tribe Physalideae (Solanaceae)
and comprises 50 species that are mainly distributed in the Andes of South America. …
