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.

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

Antibacterial activity of medicinal plants on the management of mastitis in dairy cows: A systematic review

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 2800-2819, November 2023., 2023
The PRISMA model was implemented to search for articles on plants with active antibiotic effects. Searches were done in five electronic databases: ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, Ovid and Research4Life. The microbial species commonly causing mastitis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, were targeted.

Protein interactomes for plant lipid biosynthesis and their biotechnological applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 9, Page 1734-1744, September 2023., 2023
Summary Plant lipids have essential biological roles in plant development and stress responses through their functions in cell membrane formation, energy storage and signalling. Vegetable oil, which is composed mainly of the storage lipid triacylglycerol, also has important applications in food, biofuel and oleochemical industries.

Reproductive phenology of critical native plant species for mineland restoration in the eastern Amazon

Plant Species Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 131-143, May 2023., 2023
This study aimed to monitor the reproductive phenology of critical native species that are categorized as rare, endemic, and/or threatened in the canga of the Amazon Rainforest, in Pará, Brazil. We verified that reproductive phenophases of the studied species are concentrated within a short period and are synchronized, which may increase the ...

Generating Pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) Seed Triacylglycerols and Acetyl-Triacylglycerols Containing Medium-Chain Fatty Acids

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021
Thlaspi arvense L. (pennycress) is a cold-tolerant Brassicaceae that produces large amounts of seeds rich in triacylglycerols and protein, making it an attractive target for domestication into an offseason oilseed cash cover crop.
