Extrapolating demography with climate, proximity and phylogeny: approach with caution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plant population responses are key to understanding the effects of threats such as climate change and invasions. However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated.

Variation in palm tree plastidial simple sequence repeats, characterization, and potential use

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2022
Palm trees are the third most important botanical family for humans because of their potential use in oils, drugs, cosmetics, food, and feed. Despite their importance, little information on their genetics and molecular variations exists, and a better ...

Effect of water deficit on the cell wall of the date palm (Phoenix dactyliferaDeglet nour’, Arecales) fruit during development [PDF]

open access: yesPlant, Cell & Environment, 2012
Date palm is an important economical crop in many countries. However, in recent years, the Kebili region with the largest palm groves of Tunisia faced an important deficit of rain fall that can impaired the maturation and quality of the fruits especially in non‐irrigated plantation.

Evolution of plant ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
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.

TIR-NBS-LRR genes are rare in monocots: evidence from diverse monocot orders

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2009
Background Plant resistance (R) gene products recognize pathogen effector molecules. Many R genes code for proteins containing nucleotide binding site (NBS) and C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. NBS-LRR proteins can be divided into two groups,

Genome sequencing of the staple food crop white Guinea yam enables the development of a molecular marker for sex determination

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2017
Background Root and tuber crops are a major food source in tropical Africa. Among these crops are several species in the monocotyledonous genus Dioscorea collectively known as yam, a staple tuber crop that contributes enormously to the subsistence and ...

Effect of Raoiella Indica Hirst (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) Infestation on Chlorophyll and Photosynthetic Efficiency of Areca Catechue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Areca catechu L. is one of the most important plantation crop cultivated in Kerala. Recent reports indicate that phytophagous mites could infest the foliage and nuts of areca palm and induce substantial damage, leading to various levels of economic loss.

Paleoploidization events in the Musa (banana) lineage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

A Critical Evaluation of Sustainability Practices, Waste Management Strategies, and Circular Economy Principles in Sago Processing Optimisation

open access: yesJournal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This narrative review offers a critical, decision‐oriented synthesis of sustainability practices, waste management strategies, and circular economy levers for optimising Metroxylon sagu (sago) processing at mill scale. Evidence from 2000 to 2025 is organised against two frames: the circular economy principles (eliminate waste and pollution, circulate ...

The Banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants : W401 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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 '
