Plant Taxonomy and Phylogenetics

This cluster of papers focuses on the phylogeny, evolution, and classification of grasses (Poaceae), with particular emphasis on topics such as apomixis, C4 photosynthesis, reproductive pathways, genetics, and the evolutionary history of bamboos. It explores the genetic control of apomixis, geographical parthenogenesis, polyploidy, and the molecular phylogeny of various grass subfamilies.
