Is there something analogous to #ClintReptiles but for #botany? I want someone to explain me the #plant branch of the tree of life while telling how much they love it, clade by clade.

Proportion of species descriptions using (A) molecular analysis or (B) taxonomic review for each mammal order from 1990–2025. The bars indicate the proportion of the total number of species described per order over this period. The different shades of gray indicate the proportion of these descriptions involving one, two, and three or more countries. N represents the number of species per order.

This work on #genome gigantism by Li et al. uses a #chromosome-scale genome assembly to reveal genomic features and conservation implications in the #endangered aquatic #plant Ottelia songmingensis.

#systematics #PlantScience #botany

Panel of data figures illustrating genome assembly data for the endangered aquatic monocot Ottelia songmingensis reveal that LTR retrotransposons (>90%) and inefficient removal, together with two whole-genome duplications, jointly drove genome gigantism. In addition, data illustrate that a recent burst of LTR activity further accelerated expansion. Population resequencing reveals extremely low nucleotide diversity and long-term decline, underscoring both the evolutionary forces behind genome gigantism and urgent conservation concerns.

Notes on ##UAP Discussions : Students and researchers should really by now be fully acquainted with the contemporary work of Dr. #BeatrizVillarroel and her cohort. Students in particular can get a good look at the #systematics and technical requirements for poking and prodding a #dataset and deriving challenge resistent statistics to support or refute the inevitable questions that #Science is required to ask. The course you can’t take yet is in there. It’s spread out all over the place otherwise

Annotated flow diagram illustrating a deep learning framework integrating morphological traits and DNA barcodes (ITS2, matK, rbcL) to identify Fabaceae species. By combining image data and molecular sequences, a CNN artificial neural network (MMNet) enables automatic species identification and barcode evaluation.
