Evolution and loss of long-fringed petals [PDF]
Background: The Cucurbitaceae genus Trichosanthes comprises 90–100 species that occur from India to Japan and southeast to Australia and Fiji. Most species have large white or pale yellow petals with conspicuously fringed margins, the fringes sometimes ...

The biomass accumulation of M. ruthenica was significantly improved by enhancing its nitrogen fixation ability. Through response surface methodology, the optimal culture and nutritional conditions were successfully determined. Furthermore, field experiments demonstrated promising application effects in alpine grasslands, highlighting its potential for ...

ABSTRACT Plants have a wide range of adaptive and protective mechanisms to cope with dehydration. Central in these processes are the Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, whose levels notably increase in response to dehydration during seed development and vegetative tissues.

Significance Statement Plants produce progesterone and androgens, which alter root morphology in A. thaliana and 60% of tested angiosperms. Brassinosteroids seem uninvolved. Understanding the mechanism is like navigating an unknown city—exemplarily Dittelbrunn (a small village in Bavaria)—where the expected shortcut (interaction with brassinosteroids ...

Traits, habitats, and clades: Identifying traits of potential importance to environmental filtering [PDF]
Environmental filtering is a fundamental process in the ecological assembly of communities. Recently developed phylogenetic tools identify patterns associated with environmental filtering across whole communities.

The developmental basis of floral nectary diversity and evolution
Summary Nectar is a central bridge between angiosperms and animal mutualists. It is produced by specialized structures termed nectaries, which can be found on different plant organs. Consumption of floral nectar by pollinators and the subsequent transfer of pollen contribute to the reproductive success of both angiosperms and their pollinators.

Osmophores and floral fragrance in Anacardium humile and Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae): an overlooked secretory structure in Sapindales [PDF]
Background and aims: Flowers of Anacardiaceae and other Sapindales typically produce nectar, but scent, often associated with a reward for pollinators, has surprisingly been mentioned only rarely for members of the family and order.

Adaptations of succulent plants for survival in desert ecosystems [PDF]
Cilj ovog seminara bio je nabrojati prilagodbe sukulentnih biljaka koje su im nužne za preživljavanje u pustinjskim ekosustavima. Sukulenti su biljke koje imaju posebne morfološke i ekofiziološke prilagodbe za pojačano primanje i pohranu vode.
