Optimizing DNA extraction protocols for bryophytes: Insights from Orthotrichaceae Premise Extracting high-quality DNA from challenging plant tissues can be hindered by high levels of phenolics, carbohydrates, and other compounds that bind to or coprecipitate with DNA. Bryophytes,...

a study that changes the paradigm of horizontal gene transfer across kingdoms, led by my former PhD supervisor Bernard Goffinet, congratulations to his team www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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.

I am glad to be part of the largest paper on bryophyte genomics. Spearheaded by Shanshan Dong and Yang Liu ( Fairy Lake Botanical Garden) presents: "A comprehensive super-pangenome analysis, incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte nuclear genomes......"

Lewinskya crinita sp. nov. and L. aristoblephara comb. nov. (Orthotrichaceae, Bryophyta), two remarkable species from the coastal fog oases of central-northern Chile Few species of the genus Lewinskya have been reported from central and northern Chile, with only L. johnstonii known from the northern coastal hills of the region. Immersed in arid lands, these coa...

Our studies of Lewinskya in fog oases of Central and Northern Chile reveal yet hidden diversity within Orthotrichaceae. Find more in our paper www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Market is open!!!
This is the last and most immoral mail I’ve received from #publisher. Offer to author a paper I never heard about before and out of my expertise.
I presume it is not for free.
Another hint that some people are hijacking Science, both “authors” and publishers

¿Por qué la región entre Zamora, León y Ourense arde tanto?
No, no es para construir aerogeneradores, ni por ninguna de las teorías conspiranoicas que estamos leyendo. La explicación es más compleja… y menos cómoda para quienes buscan respuestas simples. 1/13

Just published! This is not only the description of a new species. It responds to the necessity of redefining generic boundaries in our favorite moss family. Don't miss it! With @logarilleti.bsky.social @flara-bryo.bsky.social @paguado-ramsay.bsky.social

Algunes espècies de briòfits vistes al microscopi.

En un moment en què la IA està cada vegada més a tot arreu, identificar briòfits segueix essent un procés totalment manual, quasi artesanal: des de la recollida de les mostres a camp fins a la seva observació amb el microscopi.

Hi Pablo! Just to be fair, the contents of vol 58 were already punished along the year (2024). The delay affected only the annual compilation volume and it was out in march. The section of chorological novelties was launched the year before (not a new section in 58) www.briologia.es/boletines/Vo...
