Journal ArticleDOI
Recent assembly of the Cerrado, a neotropical plant diversity hotspot, by in situ evolution of adaptations to fire
Marcelo F. Simon,Rosaura Grether,Luciano Paganucci de Queiroz,Cynthia Skema,R. Toby Pennington,Colin E. Hughes +5 more
TL;DR: These findings imply that the Cerrado formed in situ via recent and frequent adaptive shifts to resist fire, rather than via dispersal of lineages already adapted to fire, and add to growing evidence that the origins and historical assembly of species-rich biomes have been idiosyncratic.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies and reflects the phylogenetic structure that is consistently resolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Legume phylogeny and classification in the 21st century: Progress, prospects and lessons for other species-rich clades
Anne Bruneau,Jeff J. Doyle,Patrick S. Herendeen,Colin E. Hughes,Gregory Kenicer,Gwilym P. Lewis,Barbara A. Mackinder,R.T. Pennington,Michael J. Sanderson,Martin F. Wojciechowski,S.

Wijk +36 more
TL;DR: This work examines how the legume systematic research community might join forces to produce a comprehensive phylogenetic estimate for the Leguminosae, and examines how morphology can be incorporated into legume phylogeny to address issues in comparative biology and classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burkholderia species are ancient symbionts of legumes
Cyril Bontemps,Geoffrey N. Elliott,Marcelo F. Simon,Fábio Bueno dos Reis Junior,Eduardo Gross,Rebecca Lawton,Nicolau Elias Neto,M. F. Loureiro,Sergio Miana de Faria,Janet I. Sprent,Euan K. James,J. Peter W. Young +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that the origins of symbiosis in Burkholderia are much deeper than previously suspected, and Gene sequences defined seven distinct and divergent species complexes within the genus Burk holderia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burkholderia phymatum is a highly effective nitrogen-fixing symbiont of Mimosa spp. and fixes nitrogen ex planta.
Geoffrey N. Elliott,Wen-Ming Chen,Jui-Hsing Chou,Hui-Chun Wang,Shih-Yi Sheu,Liamara Perin,Veronica Massena Reis,Lionel Moulin,Marcelo F. Simon,Cyril Bontemps,J. M. Sutherland,Rosana Bessi,Sergio Miana de Faria,Michael J. Trinick,Alan R. Prescott,Janet I. Sprent,Euan K. James +16 more
TL;DR: Burkholderia phymatum is therefore an effective Mimosa symbiont with a broad host range, and is the first reported beta-rhizobial strain to fix nitrogen in free-living culture.
