Tree of Sex: A database of sexual systems [PDF]
The vast majority of eukaryotic organisms reproduce sexually, yet the nature of the sexual system and the mechanism of sex determination often vary remarkably, even among closely related species. Some species of animals and plants change sex across their

ABSTRACT The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), recently found in Curacao and Aruba, has become an economically significant palm tree pest in many tropical and subtropical regions. By the time a palm infested with RPW displays visible damage, larvae have destroyed much of the trunk internal structure, typically resulting in ...

Paleoploidization events in the Musa (banana) lineage [PDF]
Bananas (Musa spp.) are giant perennial monocotyledonous herbs of the order Zingiberales, a sister group to the well-studied Poales. Cultivars are mainly triploid, from inter(sub)specific origin and clonally propagated.

ABSTRACT Plants have a wide range of adaptive and protective mechanisms to cope with dehydration. Central in these processes are the Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, whose levels notably increase in response to dehydration during seed development and vegetative tissues.

The Banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants : W401 [PDF]
Bananas (Musa spp.), including dessert and cooking types, are giant perennial monocotyledonous herbs of the Zingiberales order, a sister group to the well-studied Poales. We sequenced and assembled the 520 Mb genome of a doubled-haploid of the accession '

Evolution of plant ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
This contribution presents an updated analysis of the evolution of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) in plants. All evidence suggests that an ancestor of modern seed plants developed the RIP domain at least 300 million years ago.

Taxonomic and phylogenetic biases in translocated angiosperm plant species across European countries
Abstract Conservation translocations are a well‐known conservation tool used to reverse the effects of local population extinctions and restore ecosystems. Compared with mammals and birds, plants are underrepresented in translocation programs, and little is known about the potential taxonomic and phylogenetic biases of plant translocation efforts.

Genetic diversity in palmyrah genotypes using morphological and molecular markers [PDF]
Palms are woody monocotyledons in the family Arecaceae which is placed in the order Arecales. Slow and tall growing,hardy and non branching, dioecious and perennial in nature, palmyrah palm has no distinguishing features to identify sex,stature and high ...

Los altos niveles poblacionales de R. palmarum en plantaciones de chontaduro representan la principal limitante para el rendimiento de este cultivo. Con base en lo anterior, el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el trampeo de R. palmarum como una alternativa al uso indiscriminado de insecticidas de síntesis química como control convencional para esta
