The Brassicaceae family (mustards or crucifers) includes Arabidopsis thaliana as one of the most important model species in plant biology and a number crop plants such various Brassica (e.g. cabbage, canola mustard). Moreover, comprises an increasing that serve study systems many fields science evolutionary research. However, systematics taxonomy are very complex access to scientifically valuable reliable information linked genus names its interpretation often difficult. BrassiBase is...
Abstract Angiosperms have become the dominant terrestrial plant group by diversifying for ~145 million years into a broad range of environments. During course evolution, numerous morphological innovations arose, often preceded whole genome duplications (WGD). The mustard family (Brassicaceae), successful angiosperm clade with ~4000 species, has been many evolutionary lineages more than 30 years. Here we develop species inventory, analyze variation, and present maternal, plastome-based...
Abstract Aim Soil pH is considered an important driver of fine‐scale plant species richness in terrestrial ecosystems. However, it unclear to what extent this relationship influenced by precipitation, which often directly affects both soil and richness. We asked: (1) the between vascular regions with different levels precipitation (2) are relative effects on richness? Location Dry grasslands eight northern Eurasia. Methods Species were measured 1055 10 m × plots values derived from global...
Based on recent achievements in phylogenetic studies of the Brassicaceae, a novel infrafamilial classification is proposed that includes major improvements at subfamilial and supertribal levels. Herein, family subdivided into two subfamilies, Aethionemoideae (subfam. nov.) Brassicoideae. The Brassicoideae, with 57 58 tribes are further partitioned five supertribes, including previously recognized Brassicodae newly established Arabodae, Camelinodae, Heliophilodae, Hesperodae. Additional...
We continue the series of detailed treatments alien vascular plants Kyrgyzstan. The complete background for every species occurrence (herbarium specimens, documented observations, published literature) is uncovered and critically evaluated in a wide context plant invasions Central Asia with reference to Eastern Europe Northern Asia, based on events political economic history. Complete point distribution maps are provided each general Kyrgyzstan, particular. All records Hesperismatronalis...
ABSTRACT The Brassicaceae family is of great scientific interest because it contains the plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. Currently, contemporary research activities expand to other taxa. Despite that, phylogeny this only partly understood. present study deepens our understanding a family‐wide by using two new approaches in phylogenetic research. We used molecular marker from mitochondrial genome and utilised relaxed dating method. Our data generally confirms recent tribal...
Abstract To elucidate the evolutionary history of genus Capsella , we included hitherto poorly known species C. orientalis and thracica into our studies together with grandiflora rubella bursa‐pastoris . We sequenced ITS four loci noncoding cpDNA regions ( trn L – F, rps 16, H psb A Q 16). Sequence data were evaluated parsimony Bayesian analyses. Divergence time estimates carried out software package BEAST. also performed isozyme, cytological, morphological biogeographic studies....

Abstract Background and Aims Whole-genome duplication (WGD) events are considered important driving forces of diversification. At least 11 out 52 Brassicaceae tribes had independent mesopolyploid WGDs followed by diploidization processes. However, the association between mesopolyploidy subsequent diversification is equivocal. Herein we show results from a family-wide analysis on Brassicaceae, elaborate hypothesis that polyploidization per se fundamental driver in evolution. Methods We...
Abstract We are developing an onlineaccessible knowledge and database system of crossreferenced information resources on Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) taxonomy, systematics evolution, including chromosome numbers, traits characters, germplasm resources, accurate enumeration all species, genera tribes. Biological, molecular evolutionary is exponentially increasing in the mustard family. However, because complex overwhelming biological diversity family, it difficult to assess research results...
Knowledge of present‐day communities and ecosystems resembling those reconstructed from the fossil record can help improve our understanding historical distribution patterns species composition past communities. Here, we use a unique data set 570 plots explored for vascular plant 315 land‐snail assemblages located along 650‐km‐long transect running across steep climatic gradient in Russian Altai Mountains their foothills southern Siberia. We analysed habitat requirements modern populations...
Steppe‐tundra is considered to have been a dominant ecosystem across northern Eurasia during the Last Glacial Maximum. As fossil record insufficient for understanding ecology of this vanished ecosystem, modern analogues sought, especially in Beringia. However, Beringian ecosystems are probably not best more southern variants full‐glacial steppe‐tundra because they lack many plant and animal species temperate steppes found from various areas Europe Siberia. We present new data on flora, land...

Abstract Background and Aims The phylogeny of the Brassicaceae family has traditionally been inferred from plastid nuclear DNA. However, early studies were limited by availability genetic markers incomplete taxon sampling. Recent phylogenomic studies, leveraging more densely sampled datasets, have resolved many taxonomic uncertainties. These either targeted complete plastomes or provided extensive representation genome. Nevertheless, substantial cytonuclear discordance, poorly backbone...
