Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Neighbourhood flower diversity increases reproductive success of Lantana hypoleuca Briq (Verbenaceae). [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
A neighbourhood plant richness increases reproductive success. Abstract The attraction of floral visitors depends on intrinsic plant traits and the surrounding floral abundance and diversity. Therefore, it is important to consider the conspecific and heterospecific co‐flowering context to understand plant–pollinator interactions and, consequently ...

Development of vegetative oil sorghum: From lab-to-field. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Biomass crops engineered to accumulate energy‐dense triacylglycerols (TAG or ‘vegetable oils’) in their vegetative tissues have emerged as potential feedstocks to meet the growing demand for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Unlike oil palm and oilseed crops, the current commercial sources of TAG, vegetative tissues, such as

More than flowers: Habitat type, floral resources, and landscape context shape pollinator communities in villages. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Wild pollinator diversity has been widely studied in agricultural habitats and increasingly also in cities, but the value of small settlements like villages in rural areas for pollinators is mainly unknown. Public green spaces and village gardens could serve as refuges from agricultural intensification and habitat loss.

A mosaic of colors: The influence of biotic and abiotic factors shaping flower color diversity across a tropical mountain ecosystem. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Flower color diversity within communities is shaped by biotic and abiotic factors. Pollinators often prefer specific colors, and floral pigments also help protect against abiotic factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, precipitation, and temperature.

A comprehensive illustrated protocol for clearing, mounting, and imaging leaf venation networks. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Leaf venation network architecture can provide insights into plant evolution, ecology, and physiology. Venation networks are typically assessed through histological methods, but existing protocols provide limited guidance on processing large or challenging leaves.

Monthly Alternations of Core Plant Species in Dynamic Plant-Pollinator Networks of an Urban Botanical Garden. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The structure of the plant‐pollinator network in the urban botanical garden is dynamic. The network can be divided into some modules of closely interacting species each month. Dynamic changes in network structure led to alterations of core plant species. The core plant species in networks alternated between native and exotic species.

`Starfire' Cuphea Hybrid [PDF]

HortScience, 1995
Starfire is a sterile F1 hybrid resulting from a cross between Cuphea ignea (PI534899) and C. angustifolia (PI534892). The C. ignea parent was derived from a commercial cultivar while C. angustifolia originated from a wild population from Oaxaca, Mexico.

Elevational and Seasonal Patterns of Plant-Hummingbird Interactions in a High Tropical Mountain. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examined the patterns and potential drivers of diversity and spatiotemporal dynamics of plant–hummingbird interactions across Mexico's high tropical elevational gradient. Results revealed the importance of species turnover, interaction rewiring, and phenological overlap in network structuring, with smaller roles of abundance, morphology, and
