Missouri Botanical Garden's cycad collection: A journey through time

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 607-624, November 2025.
This article summarizes the history of the Missouri Botanical Garden's extensive cycad collection. Some of the specimens currently housed in the living collections date back well over 100 years. Cycads continue to face a myriad of threats in the wild, and their conservation in ex situ collections is of critical importance to assist in their survival ...

Analysis of the extranucleolar ribonucleoprotein particles of Cycas revoluta Thunb. (Cycadaceae) and Ceratozamia mexicana Brongn. (Zamiaceae)

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2022
Background: Nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles play a key role in RNA processing and in the gene expression pathway. Interchromatin granules (GICs) involved in the metabolism of pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) were described in Allium cepa and ...

Spatial distribution pattern of the endangered endemic cycad Ceratozamia fuscoviridis (Zamiaceae) in central Mexico

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 572-583, November 2025.
Spatial distribution pattern were studied for Ceratozamia fuscoviridis, an endangered species in Mexico, based on Ripley's K t and K 12 analysis. Clumped spatial distribution patters was found in individuals of all populations, suggesting low interaction with predators/dispersers and/or evidence of suitable microsites for cycads.

Population Differentiation and Demographic History of the Cycas taiwaniana Complex (Cycadaceae) Endemic to South China as Indicated by DNA Sequences and Microsatellite Markers

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Historical geology, climatic oscillations, and seed dispersal capabilities are thought to influence the population dynamics and genetics of plants, especially for distribution-restricted and threatened species.

Progress in the study of dioecy in Mexican cycad species and its implications for conservation

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 556-571, November 2025.
Cycads are endangered dioecious plants of great ornamental value that have a long period of sexual maturity. Therefore, it is crucial to have methods for early sex determination that can help to develop effective strategies for their conservation. Abstract Dioecy is a system of sexual reproduction in plants, characterized by the spatial separation of ...

Preface of Special Feature “Current topics on cycad biology: Deciphering the Rosetta Stone of plant evolution.” Part II: Perspectives from natural history

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 527-529, November 2025.
Often regarded as “living fossils,” cycads are well known for retaining many ancestral traits, which makes them particularly fascinating to naturalists and scientists alike. Cycads provide insights into the functional and developmental processes underlying the origin and diversification of seed plants, and they may help clarify how they colonized the ...

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 234-269, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...
