Seasonal variations of microplastics and plastisphere bacterial communities along Wuhan Reaches of Yangtze River

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Microplastics are widely distributed in aquatic environment and serve as habitats for microbial communities, which pause threats to the ecosystem. In this study, the seasonal variations in microplastic abundance and biogeography of their associated plastisphere were studied from 14 sites along the Wuhan Reaches of Yangtze River across spring ...

Auxin response factor 6A regulates photosynthesis, sugar accumulation, and fruit development in tomato. [PDF]

, 2019
Auxin response factors (ARFs) are involved in auxin-mediated transcriptional regulation in plants. In this study, we performed functional characterization of SlARF6A in tomato.

Dismantling the genus Tarenna (Rubiaceae: Pavetteae) in Africa and Madagascar, with the description of three new genera

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract As presently circumscribed, the Paleotropical genus Tarenna, belonging to the tribe Pavetteae (Rubiaceae), comprises about 200 species and has its centres of diversity in tropical Asia and Africa. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe revealed the polyphyly of Tarenna, suggesting that the genus needs to be recircumscribed ...

Pitardia resurrected: A new member of subtribe Menthinae (Lamiaceae)

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite tremendous progress towards clarifying phylogenetic relationships within the mint family (Lamiaceae), uncertainty remains regarding relationships among some major clades as well as the proper placement of some genera. While researching the genus Nepeta, a species from northeastern Morocco, N.

Exploring plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses [PDF]

, 2007
Plants are exposed to many stress factors, such as drought, high salinity or pathogens, which reduce the yield of the cultivated plants or affect the quality of the harvested products. Arabidopsis thaliana was used as a model plant to study the responses

Evidence of microRNAs origination from chloroplast genome and their role in regulating Photosystem II protein N (psbN) mRNA

BioTechnologia
The microRNAs are endogenous, regulating gene expression either at the DNA or RNA level. Despite the availability of extensive studies on microRNA generation in plants, reports on their abundance, biogenesis, and consequent gene regulation in plant ...

Phylogeny and historical biogeography of the Pachira sensu lato clade (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae) with a new infrageneric classification

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract We explore phylogenetic relationships within the Pachira sensu lato clade (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae), test the monophyly of the genera Eriotheca and Pachira, and investigate their biogeographic history. The Pachira s.l. clade comprises ca. 72 species that traditionally have been placed in Eriotheca and Pachira. We sampled ca. 79% of its species

Plate tectonics in the microscopy realm: Molecular insights into morphological variability of Peridinium willei (Peridiniales, Dinophyceae)

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Freshwater Peridinium willei (Peridiniaceae) is globally distributed, but reports linking its morphologies with DNA sequence data remain scarce. The taxonomy of the species, and its infraspecific taxa, remain ambiguous due to the lack of DNA sequence data for the original and type material.
