The paper evaluates an ex situ metacollection of tropical montane cloud forest plants in Australia using genetic data to assess its representation of wild diversity and identify conservation improvements.

This study evaluates the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative activities of extracts from seven Australian Indigenous medicinal plants, finding distinct bioactivities with potential relevance to anticancer drug discovery.

This study identifies Garcinia brassii metabolites that reduce inflammation and restore gut microbiota balance in IBD, with garcinia biflavonoid 1 and parvifoliol F showing therapeutic potential.

This study reconstructs the phylogenetic relationships of Bulbophyllum using plastid genes, revealing five major lineages and clarifying infrageneric classification in the Asian clade.

This paper analyzes the phylogenetic relationships of Australian Capparis species, identifies a whole-genome duplication event, and describes five new species and two new subspecies.

A-Islands is a curated dataset of plant species occurrences on Australian islands, enabling biodiversity research and ecological monitoring across diverse island environments.

This study constructs a nuclear phylogeny of grasses using genome-scale data, showing agreement with plastome phylogeny and evidence for repeated reticulation events.

This study analyzes plastome degeneration in the orchid genus Dipodium using phylogenomic data to understand the evolution of mycoheterotrophy and plastid gene loss.

This study analyzes Poales diversification, showing parallel evolution into open and closed habitats across time and space, with distinct patterns in major families.
