Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 2674-2706, December 2025.
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their

Cycas Leaf:Seed Ratios Do Not Influence Seed Size, Gametophyte Carbohydrates, or Leaf Photosynthesis

open access: yesAgronomy
Experimental manipulations of the balance between leaves as source organs and reproductive structures as sink organs have contributed greatly to our understanding of the assimilate partitioning and regulation of leaf photosynthesis.

Root Growth and Branching of Two Cycas Species Are Influenced by Form of Nitrogen Fertilizer

open access: yesAgronomy
Horticultural research into the group of plants known as cycads has been deficient, and this includes the study of root growth and function. The form of nitrogen (N) available to plants is known to influence root growth and morphology.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Microcycas calocoma (Zamiaceae), an Endangered monotypic cycad species from Cuba

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Microcycas calocoma is the monotypic species from the critical endangered and endemic cycad genus Microcycas in Cuba, an important taxon to study the evolution of extant gymnosperms. Here we report the complete chloroplast sequences of M.
