Rubisco evolution in C₄ eudicots: an analysis of Amaranthaceae sensu lato by Kapralov, M, Smith, J, Filatov, D

“…Two Rubisco residues, 281 and 309, were found to be under positive selection in C4 Amaranthaceae with multiple parallel replacements of alanine by serine at position 281 and methionine by isoleucine at position 309. …”

Linking patterns in phylogeny, traits, abiotic variables and space: a novel approach to linking environmental filtering and plant community assembly by Pavoine, S, Vela, E, Gachet, S, de Belair, G, Bonsall, M

“…Traits associated with the salinity gradient were convergent among Juncaceae, Cyperaceae and Amaranthaceae. The observed phylogenetic and trait patterns were related to how species survived the xeric season. …”

Application of next-generation sequencing to analysis of the genetic basis of complex traits in plants, with particular focus on nickel hyperaccumulation in the Alyssum serpyllifol... by Sobczyk, M

“…_angustifolia Suess. (family Amaranthaceae). These species were cultivated at two different temperatures and showed significant differences in levels of overall gene expression plasticity and isoform switching in certain photosynthesis genes, which it is proposed may explain the observed difference in the ability of these two species to acclimate to low and high growth temperatures.…”
