Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

A New Noriridoid and Six Phenolic Compounds from
Natural Product Communications, 2018 A rare noriridoid and six known phenolic compounds were isolated from the parasite plant Rhopalocnemis phalloides . Using spectroscopic methods, these compounds were identified as 10-acetoxy- cis -2-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-7-en-3-one ( 1 ), p ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Root parasitism by Scybalium fungiforme Schott & Endl. is not random among host species in seasonal tropical forest [PDF]
Acta Botânica BrasílicaThough they comprise 1 % of plant species on the planet, plant parasites are poorly known. They have been considered a threat to cultivated plants and to the conservation of host species in natural areas.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.The study examines conservation challenges for endemic vascular plants globally by analyzing their distribution patterns and traits that influence resilience, survival, and regeneration under changing environmental conditions. Alarmingly, 58% of endemic vascular plant taxa with conservation assessments are designated as extinct or threatened, three ...

Diverging repeatomes in holoparasitic Hydnoraceae uncover a playground of genome evolution
New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 3, Page 1520-1537, August 2025.Summary The transition from an autotrophic to a heterotrophic lifestyle is associated with numerous genomic changes. These often involve large genomic alterations, potentially driven by repetitive DNAs. Despite their recognized role in shaping plant genomes, the contribution of repetitive DNAs to parasitic plant genome evolution remains largely ...
