Effect of environmental and spatial factors on the phylogenetic and functional diversity of the Mediterranean tree communities of Europe

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 631-645, June 2023., 2023
For implementation of sustainable forest ecosystem management, phylogenetic information is key for conservation priorities and assessing ecosystem functioning. Abstract The tree flora of the Mediterranean Basin contains an outstanding taxonomic richness and a high proportion of endemic taxa.

High‐molecular‐weight DNA extraction for long‐read sequencing of plant genomes: An optimization of standard methods

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 11, Issue 3, May-June 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise Developing an effective and easy‐to‐use high‐molecular‐weight (HMW) DNA extraction method is essential for genomic research, especially in the era of third‐generation sequencing. To efficiently use technologies capable of generating long‐read sequences, it is important to maximize both the length and purity of the extracted DNA ...

A field‐capable rapid plant DNA extraction protocol using microneedle patches for botanical surveying and monitoring

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 11, Issue 3, May-June 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise A novel protocol for rapid plant DNA extraction using microneedles is proposed, which supports botanic surveys, taxonomy, and systematics. This protocol can be conducted in the field with limited laboratory skills and equipment. The protocol is validated by sequencing and comparing the results with QIAGEN spin‐column DNA extractions ...

Diversification of CYCLOIDEA expression in the evolution of bilateral flower symmetry in Caprifoliaceae and Lonicera (Dipsacales) [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2011
The expression of floral symmetry genes is examined in the CYCLOIDEA lineage following duplication, and these are linked to changes in flower morphology. The study focuses on Dipsacales, comparing DipsCYC2 gene expression in Viburnum (radially symmetrical Adoxaceae) to members of early-diverging lineages of the bilaterally symmetrical Caprifoliaceae ...

The distribution and conservation status of Knautia dipsacifolia (Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales) in Hungary

open access: yesStudia botanica hungarica, 2022
It was proven during the herbarium revision work that confirmed data of the species Knautia dipsacifolia in Hungary only came from a few stream valleys of the volcanic (andesite) mountains of the Matricum (Visegrád Mts, Börzsöny Mts, Mátra Mts) characterised with cool microclimate. All other data from the country were found to be false reporting. Not a

Phylogenetic and Comparative Analyses of Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Chinese Viburnum and Sambucus (Adoxaceae)

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Phylogenetic analyses of complete chloroplast genome sequences have yielded significant improvements in our understanding of relationships in the woody flowering genus Viburnum (Adoxaceae, Dipsacales); however, these relationships were evaluated focusing

Conservation Conundrum: At-risk Bumble Bees (Bombus spp.) Show Preference for Invasive Tufted Vetch (Vicia cracca) While Foraging in Protected Areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In recent decades, some bumble bee species have declined, including in North America. Declines have been reported in species of bumble bees historically present in Ontario, including: yellow bumble bee (Bombus fervidus) (Fabricus, 1798), American bumble ...

Elaboration of bilateral symmetry across Knautia macedonica capitula related to changes in ventral petal expression of CYCLOIDEA-like genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background Shifts in floral form across angiosperms, particularly from radially symmetrical to bilaterally symmetrical flowers, are often associated with shifts in speciation rates and changes in pollination syndrome.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Patrinia saniculifolia hemsl. (Disacales: Caprifoliaceae), an endemic plant in Korea

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Patrinia saniculifolia Hemsl. is a Korean endemic plant belongs to the family Caprifoliaceae s. l. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome of P. saniculifolia. The chloroplast genome was 153,775 bp with LSC (87,529 bp) and SSC (17,236 bp)

Floral epidermal structure and flower orientation:Getting to grips with awkward flowers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The petal epidermis has been found to be important in mediating flower-pollinator interactions. Structures produced on the petal surface, in particular cone-shaped papillate (or conical) cells, have been shown to enhance bumblebee preference for flowers.
