TL;DR: The fourth edition of The names of plants is plagued by typographical errors and represents an impressive amount of work, although some of the names included are, however, rarely (if ever) used for plants.

TL;DR: In this article, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to evaluate and characterize 43 individual plants belonging to different populations of wild and cultivated Guinea yams and revealed a higher genetic divergence among cultivated Guinea Yams accessions of the Sheko cultivars.

TL;DR: A major consequence of the revised classification of Orobanchaceae and related families has been the break-up of the traditional Scrophulariaceae, and here the new classification is summarised, focusing on genera of horticultural interest.

TL;DR: The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was used to examine genetic variation among old and newly emerged individuals of Hyophorbe lagenicaulis on Round Island to assess surviving levels of diversity in the wild population and to evaluate the suitability of old cultivated stocks on Mauritius as a source of seed for reintroduction.

TL;DR: The evolutionary dynamics of a satellite DNA repeat in the genomes of a group of Asian subtropical lady slipper orchids and comparisons between species reveal that the distribution patterns generate a strong phylogenetic signal.
