This study identifies donor species of grass-to-grass lateral gene transfer using nuclear-encoded plastid DNA, finding two lateral acquisitions from specific lineages.

This paper develops a scalable method to prioritize areas for plant occurrence data collection, validated by experts and adaptable to national priorities.

The paper investigates the phylogeny, evolution, and biogeography of four Digitaria food crops across West Africa, India, and Europe, identifying key crop wild relatives and divergence timelines.

This study examines how climate change affects fonio millet germination and suitability for cultivation in West Africa, predicting a 10% decline in suitable areas and a 5% increase in some regions.

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

This study examines the environmental and morphological variation of Loudetia simplex in Madagascar and Africa, finding that Malagasy populations represent a single species with distribution patterns linked to environmental factors.

The paper characterizes genome composition and evolution in Urochloa species, identifying repetitive DNA and developing a genome model for polyploid and apomictic grasses.
