Unraveling the Genome of Epidendrum Fulgens: Demographic History and Gene Family Dynamics in a Resilient Neotropical Orchid.

Epidendrum L. (Orchidaceae) is one of the largest plant genera in the neotropics, accounting for more than 1,500 species and a high variety of morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations. However, addressing evolutionary and ecological …

Revealing the high variability on nonconserved core and mobile elements of Austropuccinia psidii and other rust mitochondrial genomes.

Mitochondrial genomes are highly conserved in many fungal groups, and they can help characterize the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary biology of plant pathogenic fungi. Rust fungi are among the most devastating diseases for economically …
