A simplified explanation for the frameshift mutation that created a novel C-terminal motif in the APETALA3 gene lineage

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Background The evolution of type II MADS box genes has been extensively studied in angiosperms. One of the best-understood subfamilies is that of the Arabidopsis gene APETALA3 (AP3).

Pest categorisation of Coccus viridis

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.

Shrubs as Nurse Species for Plant Communities in Arid Environments: A Case Study From Socotra Island (Yemen)

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT Question Plant–plant facilitation is a critical ecological mechanism in arid environments, influencing biodiversity and ecosystem resilience globally. Shrubs often serve as nurse species, enhancing tree regeneration and sheltering plant communities, particularly in overgrazed or degraded habitats.

Herbarium and field studies of nickel hyperaccumulator plants from ultramafic soils in Guatemala

Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 838-851, November 2024.
A survey of herbarium specimens from ultramafic (serpentine) soils in Guatemala, using x‐ray fluorescence analysis, has revealed hyperaccumulation of nickel in several species, not previously known to accumulate metals. The figure shows the geographic distribution of Ni‐hyperaccumulating plants in Arachnothryx linguiformis (Rubiaceae), and the ...

Nickel hyperaccumulation in Orthion and Mayanaea (Violaceae) from Mesoamerica

Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 879-893, November 2024.
This article reports the discovery that seven species of woody plants (pictured) in the genera Orthion and Mayanaea (Violaceae) are capable of hyperaccumulating nickel (Ni) in their leaves, and many individuals simultaneously hyperaccumulate cobalt as well.

Investigating weather variables driving boxwood blight epidemics: Insights from field trials with Buxus sempervirens ‘Suffruticosa’ in northern Germany between 2006 and 2020

Plant Pathology, Volume 73, Issue 8, Page 2043-2055, October 2024.
Multiyear field trials show that mean rainfall per rainy day, daily minimum temperatures and daily minimum relative humidity have a significant positive effect on boxwood blight severity. Abstract Boxwood blight is a highly invasive disease, but studies on host–pathogen–environment interactions are rare because the initial research emphasis has been on

Pest categorisation of Ceroplastes rubens

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of Ceroplastes rubens Maskell (Hemiptera: Coccidae), following the commodity risk assessments of Acer palmatum plants grafted on A. davidii and Pinus parviflora bonsai plants grafted on P. thunbergii from China, in which C.

Pest categorisation of Pyrrhoderma noxium

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of bonsai plants (Pinus parviflora grafted on Pinus thunbergii) from China performed by EFSA, the EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pyrrhoderma noxium, a clearly defined plant pathogenic basidiomycete fungus of the order Hymenochaetales and the family Hymenochaetaceae.

Angiosperm‐wide analysis of fruit and ovary evolution aided by a new nuclear phylogeny supports association of the same ovary type with both dry and fleshy fruits

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 228-251, February 2024.
Phylogenetic analysis and molecular dating elucidate relationships for orders and families, trace crown angiosperms’ Triassic origin, unveil parallel carpel fusions in early eudicots, monocots, and magnoliids and associate specific fruit types sharing the same ovary type.
