“…Notably the chemical diversity found in the internal tissues of Sapindales is also present on the surface of their organs. In a review of the cuticular constituents in Sapindales, Roma and Santos (2022) found that alkanes, free fatty acids, primary alcohols, ketones and triterpenes are the main classes of wax components, which can assume different morphologies on the cuticle. The data bear both taxonomic and ecological relevance: the chemical composition of the wax supports the circumscription of some genera, while contrasting wax contents are found on leaves of species from different habitats.…”

Furthermore, an understanding of the evolution of the vast variation in nuclear DNA organization and ploidy levels within the order requires a robust, detailed phylogenetic framework ( Pennington and Styles, 1975 ; Guimarães and Forni-Martins, 2022 ).…”

Sapindales is an angiosperm order of high economic and ecological value comprising nine families, c. 479 genera, and c. 6570 species. However, family and subfamily relationships in Sapindales remain unclear, making reconstruction of the order’s spatio-temporal and morphological evolution difficult. In this study, we used Angiosperms353 target capture data to generate the most densely sampled phylogenetic trees of Sapindales to date, with 448 samples and c. 85% of genera represented. The percentage of paralogous loci and allele divergence was characterized across the phylogeny, which was time-calibrated using 29 rigorously assessed fossil calibrations. All families were supported as monophyletic. Two core family clades subdivide the order, the first comprising Kirkiaceae, Burseraceae, and Anacardiaceae, the second comprising Simaroubaceae, Meliaceae, and Rutaceae. Kirkiaceae is sister to Burseraceae and Anacardiaceae, and, contrary to current understanding, Simaroubaceae is sister to Meliaceae and Rutaceae. Sapindaceae is placed with Nitrariaceae and Biebersteiniaceae as sister to the core Sapindales families, but the relationships between these families remain unclear, likely due to their rapid and ancient diversification. Sapindales families emerged in rapid succession, coincident with the climatic change of the Mid-Cretaceous Hothouse event. Subfamily and tribal relationships within the major families need revision, particularly in Sapindaceae, Rutaceae and Meliaceae. Much of the difficulty in reconstructing relationships at this level may be caused by the prevalence of paralogous loci, particularly in Meliaceae and Rutaceae, that are likely indicative of ancient gene duplication events such as hybridization and polyploidization playing a role in the evolutionary history of these families. This study provides key insights into factors that may affect phylogenetic reconstructions in Sapindales across multiple scales, and provides a state-of-the-art phylogenetic framework for further research.

Many functions of terrestrial plant leaves rely on the regenerable epidermal wax layer. Biomimetic autocrine waxy materials (AWMs) inspired by renewable epidermal waxes are attracting increasing attention. However, the growth properties of the wax layer remain unclear, limiting the development of this promising material. This work focuses on the stimulated growth characteristics and microstructural regulation methods of the waxy layers. It is found that the wax layers exhibit a corresponding behavior of changing their surface micromorphology under force, heat, solvents, and other stimuli during the self-growth process, and as a result of which, various types of fine surface microstructures such as grids, rings, stripes, pattern copying, and printing can be self-built on their surfaces. The composition of the surface autocrine wax layer changes with the autocrine time, and this finding may be useful for the separation and purification of alkane mixtures. In addition, the surface wax layer possesses the ability to self-heal and strengthen itself at the damage site after being stimulated by injury, similar to the damage-response behavior of a bark surface. Such multi-stimulus response behavior described here provides a platform for the discovery of more functional materials and microstructural self-construction techniques and can also serve as a basis for their applications.
