Salinity tolerance in halophytes

TL;DR: Halophytes, plants that survive to reproduce in environments where the salt concentration is around 200 mm NaCl or more, constitute about 1% of the world's flora and research should be concentrated on a number of 'model' species that are representative of the various mechanisms that might be involved in tolerance.

Comparison of whole chloroplast genome sequences to choose noncoding regions for phylogenetic studies in angiosperms: the tortoise and the hare III

TL;DR: Nine newly explored regions of the chloroplast genome offer levels of variation better than the best regions identified in an earlier study and are therefore likely to be the best choices for molecular studies at low taxonomic levels.

The tortoise and the hare II: relative utility of 21 noncoding chloroplast DNA sequences for phylogenetic analysis

TL;DR: The results of this study show that a survey using as few as three representative taxa can be predictive of the amount of phylogenetic information offered by a cpDNA region and that rate heterogeneity exists among noncoding cpDNA regions.

A classification for extant ferns

TL;DR: A revised classification for extant ferns is presented, with emphasis on ordinal and familial ranks, and a synopsis of included genera is provided, reflecting recently published phylogenetic hypotheses based on both morphological and molecular data.
Journal ArticleDOI

The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase

TL;DR: Phytotaxa is currently contributing more than a quarter of the ca 2000 species that are described every year, showing that it has become a major contributor to the dissemination of new species discovery, but the rate of discovery is slowing down.

Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.

TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.

The Families And Genera Of Vascular Plants

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of eudicots: sapindales, cucurbitales, myrtaceae, and myrithaceae. And they propose a new genus named myrtium.

International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Melbourne Code)

TL;DR: This book is intended to provide a jumping-off point for future generations of plant taxonomists to assess the phytochemical properties ofruits and vegetables in the context of E.coli.
