Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2023 Botanic gardens play an increasingly important role in the conservation of global biodiversity. However, although botanical gardens periodically report the results of introducing certain species of native flora, they rarely attempt to summarize existing ...

Living collections of botanic gardens as a means of ex situ conservation : a case study of African Violets (Saintpaulia) in Europe [PDF]
, 2006 In all plant conservation, the priority is to maintain wild populations in situ (on site), which means that plants are conserved within their natural environment. Sometimes, as in the case of severely endangered Saintpaulia H. Wendl.

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 ...

A complete chloroplast genome of Sedum lushanense S. S. Lai 2004 (Crassulaceae: Crassuloideae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. ResourcesWe determined the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sedum lushanense S. S. Lai 2004. The genome was 148,691 bp in length, including a large single copy (LSC; 80,497 bp), a small single copy (SSC; 16,620 bp), and two inverted repeats (IR; 25,787 bp)

Genetic diversity and core subset selection in ex situ seed collections of the banana crop wild relative Musa balbisiana [PDF]
, 2019 Crop wild relatives (CWRs) play a key role in crop breeding by providing beneficial trait characteristics for improvement of related crops. CWRs are more efficiently used in breeding if the plant material is genetically characterized, but the diversity ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A tunable bifunctional surface is developed by combining Fc‐binding peptides and RGD motifs to present oriented antibodies alongside integrin‐mediated signaling. The platform selectively captures endothelial colony‐forming cells while promoting their adhesion and proliferation.
