Shrink or expand? Just relax! Bidirectional grana structural dynamics as early light-induced regulator of photosynthesis. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Light‐induced structural changes in thylakoid membranes have been reported for decades, with conflicting data regarding their shrinkage or expansion during dark–light transitions. Understanding these dynamics is important for both fundamental photosynthesis research and agricultural applications. This research investigated the temporal sequence

Floral specialization for beetle pollination and its implications for pollen dispersal in an African orchid. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Pollination by beetles is relatively rare in orchids, and this has been attributed to the clumsy behavior of beetles being unsuitable for the precise pollen transfer mechanisms that characterize the orchid family. We investigated floral specialization for beetle pollination in the rare fire‐dependent South African orchid Disa elegans ...

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2145-2160, November 2023., 2023 A sensitive VFM biosensor has been constructed to detect the Dickeya VFM quorum sensing signal in this study. Two quorum quenching bacteria with high efficiency to repress Dickeya virulence were screened out by using this VFM biosensor. Abstract Virulence factor modulating (VFM) is a quorum sensing (QS) signal shared by and specific to Dickeya bacteria,

Target sequence data shed new light on the infrafamilial classification of Araceae
American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Premise Recent phylogenetic studies of the Araceae have confirmed the position of the duckweeds nested within the aroids, and the monophyly of a clade containing all the unisexual flowered aroids plus the bisexual‐flowered Calla palustris. The main objective of the present study was to better resolve the deep phylogenetic relationships among ...

Risk assessment for Birds and Mammals
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to revise the Guidance on the risk assessment for birds and mammals. That guidance described how to perform risk assessment for birds and mammals from plant protection products, containing pesticide active substances, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 1107/2009.

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Ethiopia has a diverse topography with higher plant species composition and estimated to the higher proportion of endemic plant species. Currently, several factors drive natural forest destruction in the country, extensive agricultural land expansion triggered by increasing human population is probably the dominant force.

Minimizing the deleterious effects of endophytes in plant shoot tip cryopreservation
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 10, Issue 5, September-October 2022., 2022 Abstract Plant cryopreservation technologies are used within gene banks for the long‐term preservation of vegetatively propagated collections. Surface‐sterilized plant tissues grown in the field, greenhouse/screenhouse, growth chamber, or in vitro are the source of shoot tips subjected to vitrification‐based cryopreservation methods.

Taro raphide‐associated proteins: Allergens and crystal growth
Plant Direct, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Calcium oxalate raphide crystals are found in bundles in intravacuolar membrane chambers of specialized idioblasts cells of most plant families. Aroid raphides are proposed to cause acridity in crops such as taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott).

A roadmap for future research on insularity effects on plant–herbivore interactions
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 602-610, April 2022., 2022 Abstract State of the art Theory predicts that herbivore pressure should be weaker on islands than on the mainland, owing to lower herbivore abundance and diversity because of dispersal constraints and environmental filtering. As a result, plants on islands should invest less in defences against herbivory.

Toxic plants and companion animals. [PDF]
, 2009 Poisoning by substances of plant origin is unusual in both dogs and cats, yet it is possible; as many veterinarians do not know which plants can contain toxic active principles, the possibility of intoxication by ornamental plants commonly used to ...
