Production of root suckers in Glossopteridales from the late Permian of Antarctica
Premise
The Glossopteridales are an extinct group of seed plants that dominated mid to high latitude floras of the supercontinent Gondwana during the Permian (298–251 million years ago). Reconstruct.....

Kunming #BotanicalGarden (CN) is absolutely amazing!✨
Beyond safeguarding thousands of species through living collections, it's actively involved in the regeneration of extremely #rareplants by eventually climbing 80-meter #trees to collect #seeds and saving species from #extinction💚

You know what's cool too ? Plants ! We had 3 of them this year : the cretaceous conifer Sequoites🌲, a really close relative of our modern seed plants called Runcaria🌾, and Asterophyllites, which is the given name of the leaves from carboniferous tree-size horsetails like Calamites🌿

Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants - Nature Genetics
A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

Did you know that wild plant harvesting is an ancient practice that remains vital—from medicine to food and cosmetics? 🌿
Yet its ecological impact is overlooked. In a new study, we assessed 692 species in France (12% of the flora) to uncover drivers and conservation gaps.

With the extinction of dinosaurs, dense, closed-canopy forests could proliferate, leading to shifts in fluvial structure and accumulation of organics. This represented a profound change in the landscape, illustrated here by the incomparable Julius Csotonyi.
