Effects of Iron on oxidative stress of Cecropia hololeuca and Carica papaya plants [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Iron is essential to plant development. However, its excess can provoke an increase in reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress in plants. The objective of this work was to verify the effects of high concentrations of iron on the oxidative stress of seeds and young plants of Cecropia hololeuca and Carica papaya.

Ant-plant sociometry in the Azteca-Cecropia mutualism [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractA holistic understanding of superorganism biology requires study of colony sociometry, or the quantitative relationships among growth, nest architecture, morphology, and behavior. For ant colonies that obligately nest within plant hosts, their sociometry is likely intertwined with the plant, which has implications for the evolution, strength ...

Selection of chemical markers for the quality control of medicinal plants of the genus Cecropia [PDF]
Pharmaceutical Biology, 2017 Several Cecropia (Cecropiaceae) species are traditionally used in Latin America for the treatment of a variety of diseases including diabetes, arterial hypertension, asthma, bronchitis, anxiety, and inflammation. At present, a number of commercial products based on these plants have been introduced into the market with very little information on ...

Integrated Analysis of the Transcriptome and Metabolome of Cecropia obtusifolia: A Plant with High Chlorogenic Acid Content Traditionally Used to Treat Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 This investigation cultured Cecropia obtusifolia cells in suspension to evaluate the effect of nitrate deficiency on the growth and production of chlorogenic acid (CGA), a secondary metabolite with hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activity that acts directly on type 2 diabetes mellitus.

, 2022 Several plant species of the large Neotropical genus Cecropia acts as a host plant for ants, especially those of the genus Azteca. Although literature has reported that the Azteca queens found colonies by perforating the prostoma to establish their nests inside the Cecropia trunks (domatia), little is known about which host plant parameters (e.g ...

Colony personality and plant health in the Azteca-Cecropia mutualism
Behavioral Ecology, 2017 AbstractFor interspecific mutualisms, the behavior of one partner can influence the fitness of the other, especially in the case of symbiotic mutualisms where partners live in close physical association for much of their lives. Behavioral effects on fitness may be particularly important if either species in these long-term relationships displays ...

Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2012 In the mutualisms involving the myrmecophyte Cecropia obtusa and Azteca ovaticeps or A. alfari , both predatory, the ants defend their host trees from enemies and provide ...

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2021 Abstract Comprehension of the benefits involved in mutualisms is crucial to disentangle the role of interactions in the structure and functioning of populations, communities and ecosystems. In ant-plant mutualisms, benefits provided by plants to ants are immediately recognizable, but reverse benefits are less obvious, conditional and accumulate over ...

Journal of Bioremediation & Biodegradation, 2011 Although Brazil is one of the world’s largest consumers of the herbicide hexazinone there are few studies, in the country, on the fate of this compound in the environment. This work studied the distribution and mineralization of hexazinone in a microcosm, with and without plants.
