Coevolution as an engine of biodiversity and a cornucopia of ecosystem services
Coevolutionary processes, which have governed interactions between organisms throughout the history of life, also serve as an engine of ecosystem services for humans. The escalating arms races between plants and herbivores, flowers and pollinators, have generated a cornucopia of foods, raw materials, perfumes, spices, ornamentals, medicines, and drugs.

Genome Sizes in Hepatica Mill: (Ranunculaceae) Show a Loss of DNA, Not a Gain, in Polyploids
Genome size (C‐value) was applied anew to investigate the relationships within the genus Hepatica (Ranunculaceae). More than 50 samples representing all species (except H. falconeri), from wild and cultivated material, were investigated. Species of Hepatica turn out to be diploid (2n = 14), tetraploid (2n = 28 ), and a possible pentaploid.

REGENERATION OF Agave marmorata Roezl PLANTS, BY SOMATIC EMBRIOGENESIS
Background. Agave marmorata Roezl is a monocot plant of the Asparagaceae family, which is mainly used in the elaboration of the alcoholic drink called mezcal. This species is propagated by seeds or stolons (hijuelos), but its reproduction is slow because
