The diversity and evolution of pollination systems in large plant clades: Apocynaceae as a case study

Annals of Botany, 2018
Background and Aims Large clades of angiosperms are often characterized by diverse interactions with pollinators, but how these pollination systems are structured phylogenetically and biogeographically is still uncertain for most families. Apocynaceae is

Hypolipidemic and Antioxidant Activities of Leptadenia hastata (Perse) Decne. Leaf and Syzygium aromaticum L. Bud Combination: In Vivo, In Vitro, and In Silico Evaluation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Combination of the Leptadenia hastata leaf and the Syzygium aromaticum bud demonstrated hypolipidemic and antioxidant activities in a hyperlipidemic rat model. Combination of the two plants inhibited HMG‐CoA reductase activity, and the docking analysis revealed interacted well and formed binding complexes within the binding pocket of the enzyme ...

Chemotaxonomic Investigation of Apocynaceae for Retronecine-Type Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids Using HPLC-MS/MS

bioRxiv, 2020
Apocynaceae are well-known for diverse specialized metabolites that are distributed in a phylogenetically informative manner. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) have been reported sporadically in one lineage in the family, the APSA clade, but few species had ...

Stem anatomy and ontogeny of vascular variants in Ipomoea asarifolia (Desr.) Roem. & Schult. (Convolvulaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
An increase in stem thickness and ontogeny of successive cambia, intraxylary cambium, and inter‐and intraxylary phloem is elaborated for the first time in Ipomoea asarifolia (Desr.) Roem. & Schult. (Convolvulaceae). As the plants grew older, several small segments of cambium were initiated simultaneously external to the phloem formed by regular ...

The complete plastome sequence of Carissa macrocarpa (Eckl.) A. DC. (Apocynaceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
In this study, we determined the complete plastome sequence of Carissa macrocarpa (Eckl.) A. DC. (Apocynaceae) (NCBI acc. no. KX364402). The gene order and structure of the C. macrocarpa plastome are similar to those of a typical angiosperm. The complete

Enabling evolutionary studies at multiple scales in Apocynaceae through Hyb‐Seq

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2020
Premise Apocynaceae is the 10th largest flowering plant family and a focus for study of plant–insect interactions, especially as mediated by secondary metabolites. However, it has few genomic resources relative to its size. Target capture sequencing is a

A new species of Drimia Jacq. ex Willd. (Asparagaceae) from Nellai wildlife sanctuary, Western Ghats, India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The new species Drimia courtallensis from the Nellai Wildlife Sanctuary of Tamil Nadu, India is described and illustrated. It is similar to Drimia razii,in its necked bulb, hysteranthous nature, lax inflorescence and diurnal flowers on moderately short pedicels but it can be distinguished by its broader linear‐lanceolate leaves (230–420 × 6–15 mm ...

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.
