Micromorpho‐anatomical studies on the leaves and woods of Turkish Daphne (Thymelaeaceae) taxa
The identification of Daphne taxa is difficult because of the lack of available morphological characteristics. Here, we aimed to describe leaf and wood micromorpho‐anatomical characteristics of native Turkish Daphne taxa (D. glomerata, D. gnidioides, D. mezereum, D. mucronata, D. oleoides subsp. kurdica, D. pontica and D.

A high‐recovery, high‐density targeted genotyping platform for cranberry
Abstract The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is a commercially important berry species native to North America. Cranberry is a popular fruit crop with many known health benefits. Thus far, genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) was the only high‐throughput genotyping technique available in cranberry.

Multiple plant surface signals are sensed by different mechanisms in the rice blast fungus for appressorium formation. [PDF]
Surface recognition and penetration are among the most critical plant infection processes in foliar pathogens. In Magnaporthe oryzae, the Pmk1 MAP kinase regulates appressorium formation and penetration.

ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

Transcriptomic prey‐capture responses in convergently evolved carnivorous pitcher plants
Summary The Australian pitcher plant Cephalotus and the Asian pitcher plant Nepenthes exhibit striking morphological and functional similarities, serving as compelling examples of convergent evolution. Although trapping pitchers in both lineages represent some of the most elaborate leaf structures in angiosperms, it remains unknown whether their ...

Waterproofing in Arabidopsis: Following Phenolics and Lipids In situ by Confocal Raman Microscopy [PDF]
Waterproofing of the aerial organs of plants imposed a big evolutionary step during the colonization of the terrestrial environment. The main plant polymers responsible of water repelling are lipids and lignin, which play also important roles in the ...
