The complete chloroplast genome of Butomus umbellatus L. and its phylogenetic position

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Butomus umbellatus, which belongs to Butomaceae, is a plant species typical of littoral communities of river and stream shores. Here, we reported and characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of B.

Observation of Chloroplast Movement in Vallisneria

Bio-Protocol, 2015
Chloroplasts accumulate to weak light and escape from strong light. These light-induced responses have been known from the 19th century (Böhm, 1856). Up to now, many scientists have developed different methods to investigate these dynamic phenomena in a ...

Reinvestigating an enigmatic Late Cretaceous monocot: morphology, taxonomy, and biogeography of Viracarpon [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Angiosperm-dominated floras of the Late Cretaceous are essential for understanding the evolutionary, ecological, and geographic radiation of flowering plants.

A Short‐Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.

In vitro Phosphorylation Assay of Putative Blue-light Receptor Phototropins Using Microsomal and Plasma-membrane Fractions Prepared from Vallisneria Leaves

Bio-Protocol, 2015
An aquatic angiosperm Vallisneria (Alismatales: Hydrocharitaceae) has been used as an excellent experimental material over a century to study the light regulation of dynamic intracellular movements including chloroplast redistribution and cytoplasmic ...

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.

Movement Ecology of a Coastal Foundation Seagrass Species: Insights From Genetic Data and Oceanographic Modelling

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Seed dispersal plays a key role in shaping the distribution and genetic complexity of seagrass populations and affects their resilience capacity under disturbance. The endemic seagrass Posidonia oceanica is a key component of Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, but knowledge about movement ecology in this species is limited, especially ...

Phylogenetic studies of the core Alismatales inferred from morphology and rbcL sequences

Progress in Natural Science, 2009
The phylogeny of Alismatales remains an area of deep uncertainty, with different arrangements being found in studies that examined various subsets of genes and taxa. Herein we conducted separate and combined analyses of 103 morphological characters and 52 rbcL sequences to explore the controversial phylogenies of the families.

A phylogenetic approach for identifying new sources of economically important fatty acids in plants and algae

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1358-1371, November 2024.
New sources of essential and other nutritionally and/or pharmacologically important fatty acids for human use can be discovered through bioprospecting. Demonstrating how fatty acids in plants and algae are distributed across a phylogeny is a critical first step in this process.
