Discovery of Bioactive Properties in the Seagrass <i>Ruppia maritima</i> Extract: A Triplatform Assessment of Antioxidant, Antidiabetic, Antibacterial, Cytotoxic, and Analgesic Activities. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournalRuppia maritima, a seagrass, was investigated for its potential antioxidant, antidiabetic, antibacterial, cytotoxic, and analgesic activities. The acetone extract of its leaves (AERM) was studied using in vitro, in vivo, and in silico methods. To determine its secondary metabolites, the total phenolic and flavonoid content was measured.

Are substitution rates and RNA editing correlated?
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background RNA editing is a post-transcriptional process that, in seed plants, involves a cytosine to uracil change in messenger RNA, causing the translated protein to differ from that predicted by the DNA sequence.

Taxonomic study of Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium (Schott) Engl. (Araceae) from Brazil [PDF]
Acta Botânica BrasílicaWe present a taxonomic study of Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium (Schott) Engl. from Brazil, encompassing 20 accepted species, ten of which are endemic from this country. The species were identified based on analyses of vegetative and reproductive characters

Progestogens and androgens influence root morphology of angiosperms in a brassinosteroid-independent manner. [PDF]
Plant JSignificance Statement Plants produce progesterone and androgens, which alter root morphology in A. thaliana and 60% of tested angiosperms. Brassinosteroids seem uninvolved. Understanding the mechanism is like navigating an unknown city—exemplarily Dittelbrunn (a small village in Bavaria)—where the expected shortcut (interaction with brassinosteroids ...

The complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Butomus umbellatus--a member of an early branching lineage of monocotyledons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In order to study the evolution of mitochondrial genomes in the early branching lineages of the monocotyledons, i.e., the Acorales and Alismatales, we are sequencing complete genomes from a suite of key taxa.

A taxonomic treatment of Alismataceae (Alismatales) in the Brazilian Pantanal
PhytotaxaThis study provides a taxonomic treatment of Alismataceae species occurring in the Brazilian Pantanal. Field collections were carried out and analysis of sheets housed in the most representative herbaria of Pantanal were consulted. A total of five genera and 19 species were confirmed in the Brazilian Pantanal.
