Tuber and Root Starches: Molecular and Physicochemical Properties

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 2, February 2026.
Dale dale, Mashua, and Pituca starches exhibited distinct amorphous and ordered structural regions. Among them, Dale dale starch showed the highest degree of crystallinity. ABSTRACT Starches extracted from different botanical sources can be used in a wide range of food applications; however, understanding the relationships among their properties is ...

A review of non‐native scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccoidea) of Australia and the challenges in maintaining current and accurate pest lists

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Over 870 species of scale insects, also called coccoids (infraorder Coccomorpha), have been recorded from Australia. Here, we systematically review literature, databases and collections to provide a revised assessment of non‐native species to Australia, for which we confirm those species that are introduced and extant in Australia (including ...

Micropropagation of Calathea ornata Koern.

Biologia plantarum, 1997
In vitro cultures of Calathea ornata Koern. cv. Sanderiana shoots were maintained on modified medium of Murashige and Skoog. With the aim to find effective micropropagation method the effects of cytokinins, paclobutrazol, saccharose, mineral salts and shoot-tip damage on the shoot growth and quality were studied.

Extraction and Comprehensive Characterization of Starch From Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) Seeds as a Non‐Conventional Source

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 1, January 2026.
A native starch was extracted from ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.), yielding a high‐purity product with a significant starch content. The starch exhibited type A and V crystallinity, with a mean particle size (D50) ~7 nm, high swelling power, and low retrogradation tendency.

Bulbil formation in stress: Crucial role of triploid fitness in mixed ploidy dynamics in Costus speciosus

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Upon prolonged waterlogging, a Costus speciosus plant developed bulbils at stem node. Karyotype analysis, nucleolar staining, and anatomical study revealed its triploid status and developmental aspects. Prevalence of tetraploid, abundance, and unique reproductive fecundity of the triploid, indicates its determinant role in coexistence of the multiple ...

A Conservation Assessment and Phylogenomic Evaluation of Protection Status in the Tropical Genus Heliconia L. (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1438-1457, September 2025.
The primarily neotropical plant genus Heliconia has been cultivated commercially in gardens and nurseries for hundreds of years. Many of these same species are ecological keystones in their native habitats as important resources for herbivorous insects and pollinating hummingbirds, yet they face threats of habitat loss and degradation, competition with
