Comparative evaluation of physical methods for extracting leaf trichomes [PDF]

Plant Methods
Trichomes are hairlike protuberances in plants that deter herbivores using both physical and chemical means, with pre- and post-ingestive effects. In addition, trichomes also serve as a protective layer, reducing transpiration loss, thereby improving ...

Evolutionary history of magnoliid genomes and benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis [PDF]

Nature Communications
Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are important metabolites synthesized in early-diverging eudicots and magnoliids, yet the genetic basis of BIA biosynthesis in magnoliids remains unclear.

Viruses Infecting Trees and Herbs That Produce Edible Fleshy Fruits with a Prominent Value in the Global Market: An Evolutionary Perspective

Plants, 2022
Trees and herbs that produce fruits represent the most valuable agricultural food commodities in the world. However, the yield of these crops is not fully achieved due to biotic factors such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Viruses are capable of causing

Phylogenetic studies of magnoliids: Advances and perspectives

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Magnoliids are the largest flowering plant clades outside of the eudicots and monocots, which are distributed worldwide and have high economic, ornamental and ecological values.

Vascular Epiphyte Diversity in a Key Atlantic Forest Remnant from Minas Gerais State, Southeastern Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente, 2023
Vascular epiphytes contribute significantly to the biodiversity of tropical forests. We aimed to identify the epiphyte species occurring in the Muriqui Trail at Serra do Brigadeiro State Park (SBSP), a priority area for Atlantic forest conservation in ...

Paleopolyploidies and Genomic Fractionation in Major Eudicot Clades

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Eudicots account for ~75% of living angiosperms, containing important food and energy crops. Recently, high-quality genome sequences of several eudicots including Aquilegia coerulea and Nelumbo nucifera have become available, providing an opportunity to ...

Miconia lucenae (Melastomataceae), a new species from montane Atlantic Forest in Espírito Santo, Brazil [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
We describe Miconia lucenae R.Goldenb. & Michelang., a new species from the montane Atlantic Forest in Santa Teresa in the state of Espírito Santo. Our analysis, based on three plastid spacers (atpF-atpH, psbK-psbl and trnS-trnG), one plastid gene (ndhF,

Combining phylogenetic and syntenic analyses for understanding the evolution of TCP ECE genes in eudicots. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
TCP ECE genes encode transcription factors which have received much attention for their repeated recruitment in the control of floral symmetry in core eudicots, and more recently in monocots.

A high-quality Buxus austro-yunnanensis (Buxales) genome provides new insights into karyotype evolution in early eudicots

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Eudicots are the most diverse group of flowering plants that compromise five well-defined lineages: core eudicots, Ranunculales, Proteales, Trochodendrales, and Buxales.

Diversification of genes encoding granule-bound starch synthase in monocots and dicots is marked by multiple genome-wide duplication events. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Starch is one of the major components of cereals, tubers, and fruits. Genes encoding granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), which is responsible for amylose synthesis, have been extensively studied in cereals but little is known about them in fruits.
