Critical notes on Diospyros pyrrhocarpoides (Ebenaceae) [PDF]

Blumea - Biodiversity, Evolution and Biogeography of Plants, 2007
On critical analysis and taxonomic evaluation, Diospyros pyrrhocarpoides B.R. Ramesh & De Franceschi is resolved to be only Diospyros ridleyi Bakh., and the former is reduced to a synonym of the latter. The contemporary report of the occurrence of D. pyrrhocarpa Miq. and D. crumenata Thwaites in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is shown to be erroneous.

Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 486-498, March 2026.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

A chromosome‐scale genome of Sarracenia purpurea reveals a significant expansion of plant defense and stress response gene families following paleopolyploidization

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Plant carnivory evolved through gene co‐option and whole genome duplications (WGDs) over millions of years in at least 13 independent flowering plant lineages, but its genetic mechanisms remain largely unknown. To elucidate these mechanisms in Sarraceniaceae, we sequenced and assembled the Sarracenia purpurea genome and conducted a comparative

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Erosion and abrasion-inhibiting in situ effect of the Euclea natalensis plant of African regions

Brazilian Oral Research, 2016
This study evaluated the effect of Euclea natalensis gel on the reduction of erosive wear with or without abrasion, in enamel and dentin. During two five-day experimental crossover phases, volunteers (n = 10) wore palatal devices containing human enamel ...

Root Traits Predict the Soil Functional Responses of Subtropical Plant Species to Experimental Drought

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Plant species' habitat preference and drought tolerance traits were not the primary factors driving interspecific differences in soil functional responses to drought. Instead, fine root traits—particularly their chemical traits—played more critical roles in determining these variations.
