Characterization and Potential of Coelogyne rochussenii Orchids from Bukit Rimbang and Bukit Baling Wildlife Sanctuary as Explant Source

Jurnal Sylva Lestari, 2021
Conservation is an effort to return natural resources to their habitat to restore the ecosystem balance, which can be done in-situ and ex-situ. Coelogyne rochussenii orchid conservation efforts are essential to maintain its sustainability. The purpose of

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analyses of the MADS-Box Gene During Flowering in Primulina huaijiensis

Plants
Primulina huaijiensis is a promising candidate for eco-bottle flowers, yet the genes related to flowering remain unexplored despite the availability of genomic data for several years. MADS-box genes constitute a large family of transcription factors that

Evolution and diversification of Ca2+/H+ exchangers: insights into karst-plant adaption to high-calcium environment

BMC Plant Biology
Background Calcium (Ca2+) is a critical mineral essential for plant growth, development, and signal transduction. The CAX (Ca²⁺/H⁺ exchanger) family represents a group of key transmembrane transporters that mediate Ca2+ transport and homeostasis, thereby

Structure Formation in Butterfly Scales: Interplay of Genetic Control, Mechanical Instabilities, and Dynamic Material Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

A critical assessment of ex situ conservation based on the Brazilian avifauna: Are we focusing on what is easier?

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Species have been lost at unprecedented rates. Because only a small fraction of the threatened taxa have been managed under human care, contrasting the characteristics of taxa that have, and have not been targeted to ex situ conservation can reveal the ...

Elucidating the Role of Surface Ligands on the Oxidative Etching of Au Bipyramids During Photothermia Using Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gold bipyramids can act as efficient plasmonic nanoheaters, but they often reshape during laser heating. This study shows that oxygen nanobubbles drive oxidative etching and that surface ligands control stability. CTAB‐ and citrate‐coated particles blunt and lose optical performance, whereas polystyrene sulfonate preserves shape and heating by ...
