Fusarium guttiforme and F. mexicanum Causing Shoot Blight in Yerba Mate in Southern Brazil

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis [St. Hil.]) is one of the main non‐timber forest products in the southern region of Brazil, playing a role of great social, economic and environmental importance. Commercial yerba mate consists of leaves and young branches of the plant, traditionally consumed as tea and chimarrão.

Across 33 broad‐leaved deciduous woody species, silicon enhances leaf lamina stiffness but not tensile strength whereas cellulose enhances both

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 2075-2083, June 2025.
Summary Silicon (Si) has been hypothesized to be a metabolically cheaper substitute for carbon‐based cell wall components to support leaves. However, how the biomechanical function of Si, deposited as amorphous silica, differs from cell wall components remains untested. Here, we tested the hypothesis that species with higher leaf Si concentrations have

Fossils of an endangered, endemic, giant dipterocarp species open a historical portal into Borneo's vanishing rainforests

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Premise Asia's wet tropical forests face a severe biodiversity crisis, but few fossils record their evolutionary history. We recently discovered in situ cuticles on fossil leaves, attributed to the giant rainforest tree Dryobalanops of the iconic Dipterocarpaceae family, from the Plio‐Pleistocene of Brunei Darussalam (northern Borneo ...

Triterpenes and new saponins from Ilex chamaedryfolia: chemotaxonomic tool to ilex species differentiation

Química Nova, 2011
Three saponins were isolated from leaves of Ilex chamaedryfolia. Their structures were established by spectroscopic and mass spectrometry data as the new saponin 3β-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-3)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-20( S)-19α-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid ...

The Optimization of Stand Structure Can Significantly Alleviate the Flammability of Forest Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Flammability of various plant families in surface living fuels varies significantly, and fuels of Rutaceae, Cucurbitaceae exhibited high flammability, while Arecaceae were low. Leaves, litters were high flammability fuels, humus was low flammability fuel.

Shedding light on overlooked pollinators: Global insights into floral interactions of velvet ants (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae and Myrmosidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 453-465, May 2025.
Abstract Plant–animal interactions constitute a recurrent and central focus in ecological research, with pollination representing one of its most extensively studied aspects. While certain insect orders have traditionally received considerable attention due to their abundance as flower visitors and their efficiency in pollination, it is undeniable that
