Feeding by Florivorous Flies (Tephritidae and Agromyzidae) in Flower Heads of Neotropical Asteraceae (Asterales) from Central Brazil

, 2021
The four following Diptera families are peculiar because they are predominantly phytophagous: Cecidomyiidae, Agromyzidae, Lonchaeidae and Tephritidae; which is uncommon for dipterans. Tephritine’s larvae, depending on the species, consumes leaves, stems, flowers or roots of their host plants.

Influence of Solar Drying on the Phytochemical Screen of Equisetopsida Asterales

Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2019
We are interested by studying the influence of two drying methods: in the shade and solar energy, on phytochemical composition. For this, we choose the rhizomes of the plant Equisetopsida Asterales, a species that can be found in the poor soil of Provence and Corsica. It prefers dry, sunny places in the Mediterranean.

Relict lineages with extreme ecology and physiology: metal hyperaccumulation on ultramafic substrates in New Caledonian Alseuosmineae (Asterales)

Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2022
Background: Relict lineages are an important component of the biodiversity, but it is unclear under what circumstances these groups persist. A potential example of such a group is the Alseuosmineae (Asterales) of Oceania. This clade contains the three small families-Alseuosmiaceae, Argophyllaceae and Phellinaceae. The clade has highest diversity in New

The Complete Genome Sequence of the Moroccan endemic plant <i>Artemisia ifranensis</i> (Asteraceae, Asterales). [PDF]

Biodivers Genomes
We present the whole genome sequence of Artemisia ifranensis, an endemic species to Morocco. Illumina paired-end reads were assembled by a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via GenBank: Sequence Read Archive (SRR28896299) and assembled genome (JBEUCH000000000).

Linking geographic distribution and niche through estimation of niche density. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Species with larger climatic tolerances (niches) may have large or small geographic ranges, dependent on the commonness of favourable climatic conditions across geographic space. Here, we explore the relationship between geographic range size and niche area, while also proposing a novel measure of niche density.

Sequential Paleotetraploidization shaped the carrot genome

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. carota L.) is an important root crop with an available high-quality genome. The carrot genome is thought to have undergone recursive paleo-polyploidization, but the extent, occurrences, and nature of these events ...

Burmeistera galeanoae (Campanulaceae, Asterales) una especie nueva de los Andes noroccidentales de Colombia

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales
Se describe una especie nueva de Burmeistera (Campanulaceae) de los bosques húmedos andinos del norte de la cordillera occidental en los departamentos de Antioquia y Chocó (Colombia). Entre las especies conocidas del género, Burmeistera galeanoae se destaca morfológicamente por la presencia de hojas distales reducidas en las ramas floríferas, la ...

Ancestral Reconstruction and Investigations of Genomic Recombination on some Pentapetalae Chloroplasts

Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2019
In this article, we propose a semi-automated method to rebuild genome ancestors of chloroplasts by taking into account gene duplication. Two methods have been used in order to achieve this work: a naked eye investigation using homemade scripts, whose ...

The carboxypeptidase B and carbonic anhydrase genes play a reproductive regulatory role during multiple matings in Ophraella communa

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) are key factors in sexual reproduction and are transferred to females during mating with sperm. SFPs have a nutritional value because they protect and activate sperm storage and release to optimize fecundity.

UnigeneFinder: An Automated Pipeline for Gene Calling From Transcriptome Assemblies Without a Reference Genome. [PDF]

Plant Direct
ABSTRACT For most species, transcriptome data are much more readily available than genome data. Without a reference genome, gene calling is cumbersome and inaccurate because of the high degree of redundancy in de novo transcriptome assemblies. To simplify and increase the accuracy of de novo transcriptome assembly in the absence of a reference genome ...
