Free Sugar Profile in Cycads [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The sugars fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose were quantified in seven tissues of Zamia muricata Willd. to determine their distribution throughout various organs of a model cycad species, and in lateral structural roots of 18 cycad species to ...

Ghost introgression facilitates genomic divergence of a sympatric cryptic lineage in Cycas revoluta
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 A cryptic lineage is a genetically diverged but morphologically unrecognized variant of a known species. Clarifying cryptic lineage evolution is essential for quantifying species diversity. In sympatric cryptic lineage divergence compared with allopatric

Stem Carbohydrate Richness in Two Cycad Species
HortScience, 2023 The pachycaulous stem of cycad plants enables the storage of abundant nonstructural carbohydrates. Cycas revoluta Thunb. and Zamia furfuracea L.f. stems were analyzed for starch and 15 sugars to determine carbohydrate richness.
