In vitro anticoagulant and antioxidant activities of Jatropha gossypiifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae) leaves aiming therapeutical applications

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2014
BackgroundJatropha gossypiifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae) is a medicinal plant largely used in folk medicine. Teas from the leaves are popularly used as an antithrombotic agent and the branches are frequently employed as a "thick blood" agent. Considering that

Genomic studies in Linum shed light on the evolution of the distyly supergene and the molecular basis of convergent floral evolution

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Distyly, an example of convergent evolution, is governed by a supergene, the S‐locus, in several species. Recent studies highlight similar genomic architectures of independently evolved S‐loci, but its mode of origin and whether similar regulatory pathways underlie the convergent evolution of distyly remains unclear.

A thinner jacket for frosty and windy climates? Global patterns in leaf cuticle thickness and its environmental associations

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant cuticles protect the interior tissues from ambient hazards, including desiccation, UV light, physical wear, herbivores and pathogens. Consequently, cuticle properties are shaped by evolutionary selection. We compiled a global dataset of leaf cuticle thickness (CT) and accompanying leaf traits for 1212 species, mostly angiosperms, from 293

Phytochemistry and Systematics of the Euphorbiaceae

Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 1994
Phytochemical data provide much useful information concerning relationships both within the Euphorbiaceae and between that family and putative relatives. Within the Euphorbiaceae, the presence of several groups of secondary metabolites support certain infrafamilial groupings, whereas data related to the biosynthesis and distribution of other secondary ...

Linking anatomical diversity with functional life strategies in a liana community of central Africa

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Studying lianas involves unique challenges due to their high functional diversity. Despite their prominence in tropical forests, gaps in the understanding of anatomical organisation affect interpretations of their co‐existing functional strategies.

Photosynthetic Heat Tolerance Partially Acclimates to Growth Temperature in Tropical Montane Tree Species

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate warming increases the risk of harmful leaf temperatures in terrestrial plants, particularly in tropical tree species that have evolved in warm and thermally stable environments. We examined heat tolerance thresholds of photosynthetic light reactions in sun‐exposed leaves of 12 tropical montane tree species with different strategies for

A survey of selected coastal vegetation communities of Florida [PDF]

, 1977
A survey of coastal vegetation around Florida was conducted during 1973 and 1974. Seventeen sites were selected and sampled using the transect method to determine species occurrence, relative densities, and habitat development and structure.
