Sclerified Cork Outperforms the Exodermis: Root Water Permeability Decreases in the Soil-To-Canopy Transition of the Aroid Vine Epipremnum aureum. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The aroid vine Epipremnum aureum undergoes changes in habitat and growth axis direction from terrestrial (plagiotropic) to canopy (orthotropic) conditions. Since aerial roots connected to the forest soil are vital for water and nutrient uptake in these vines, we hypothesize that morphophysiological acclimation occurs, enabling root survival ...

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
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 ...

Floral specialization for beetle pollination and its implications for pollen dispersal in an African orchid. [PDF]
Abstract 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 ...
