The Evolutionary Significance of Leaf Nodulation: Evidence from Ardisia and Its Relatives (Primulaceae: Myrsinoideae)

Simple Summary Leaf nodule symbiosis, a unique bacterial association occurring in the phyllosphere microbiome, has been shown to influence host growth, immune responses, and secondary metabolism, suggesting its potential role in promoting evolutionary radiations. Nevertheless, direct macroevolutionary evidence linking...
