The taxonomic significance of naphthoquinones in the Droseraceae

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1994
Abstract The distribution of the naphthoquinones 7-methyljuglone and plumbagin was studied among 63 species of the Droseraceae . Both compounds occur in Drosophyllum and Drosera ; only plumbagin was found in Dionaea and Aldrovanda . Within Drosera , naphthoquinones support the classifications of De Candolle and Diels to some extent, with ...

Ovule and seed development in Droseraceae

Acta Botanica Neerlandica, 1989
SUMMARY A structural analysis of ovule and seed development in the four genera of the Droseraceae is given. The ovule primordia of the Droseraceae are dizonate. The integuments are dermal in origin. The ovules of Dionaea, Aldrovanda and Drosera are characterized by nucellar elongation and strongly enlarged cells of the nucellar epidermis.

Holocentric chromosomes may be an apomorphy of Droseraceae

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2018
Holocentric chromosomes have evolved in various plant and animal taxa, which suggests they may confer a selective advantage in certain conditions, yet their adaptive potential has scarcely been studied. One of the reasons may reside in our insufficient knowledge of the phylogenetic distribution of holocentric chromosomes across eukaryotic phylogeny. In

The aquatic carnivorous plant Aldrovanda vesiculosa (Droseraceae) exhibits altered developmental stages in male gametophyte

Protoplasma, 2020
Aldrovanda vesiculosa (Droseraceae) is a rare aquatic carnivorous plant, distributed in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Aldrovanda populations can flower prolifically under favourable conditions, but seed set is very limited.

Light emitting diodes optimisation for secondary metabolites production by Droseraceae plants.

Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology. B: Biology, 2021
The most abundant active compound in Droseraceae is plumbagin, a naphthoquinone widely used for medical purposes due to its antimicrobial, antitussive, antimalarial and anticancer properties.
