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

Journal 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

New 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

Safeguarding China’s threatened cycads: Strategies to combat alarming habitat degradation and anthropogenic collection pressure [PDF]

Nature Conservation
Cycads (Cycas L.) are ancient plants of immense ecological and evolutionary significance, yet they now face escalating threats to their survival. Around 20 cycad species remain in China, beset with highly restricted distributions and small, fragmented ...

Molecular and Morphological Phylogenetic Analyses of New World Cycad Beetles: What They Reveal about Cycad Evolution in the New World

Diversity, 2018
Two major lineages of beetles inhabit cycad cones in the New World: weevils (Curculionoidea) in the subtribe Allocorynina, including the genera Notorhopalotria Tang and O’Brien, Parallocorynus Voss, Protocorynus O’Brien and Tang and ...

A modification to the SCAR (Sequence Characterized Amplified Region) method provides phylogenetic insights within Ceratozamia (Zamiaceae) Una modificación al método SCAR (Sequence Characterized Amplified Region) aporta entendimiento filogenético en Ceratozamia (Zamiaceae)

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
Phylogenetic relationships among closely related plant species are still problematic. DNA intergenic regions often are insufficiently variable to provide desired resolution or support. In this study, a modification to the Sequence Characterized Amplified

Culture-based and Sanger sequencing approaches to uncover the diversity of leaf-fungal endophytes in neotropical gymnosperms

Tecnociencia
Endophytic fungi play a crucial role in the survival and adaptation of their host plants. In recent decades, unprecedented diversity of endophytic fungi has been reported in angiosperms, but knowledge about this diversity in tropical gymnosperms is ...
