Verhuellia is a segregate lineage in Piperaceae: more evidence from flower, fruit and pollen morphology, anatomy and development [PDF]
, 2010 Background and Aims The perianthless Piperales, i.e. Saururaceae and Piperaceae, have simple reduced flowers strikingly different from the other families of the order (e.g. Aristolochiaceae).

Floral biology of Avena strigosa
, 2021 Black oat is a plant of multiple uses in the agricultural system, however breeding programs have little success in getting new genotypes, without knowing the exact reason, so this study had the goal to characterize the floral morphology and to evaluate if there is variability in Avena strigosa in its pollen viability.

Floral biology of cacauhy (Theobroma speciosum - Malvaceae)
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010 In the present work, cacauhy's (Theobroma speciosum) floral biology was studied. Flower buds split their sepals at 14h reaching its maximum at 22h, but all flowers were fully opened at 6:00 h of the following morning.

Mutations in the PERIANTHIA gene of Arabidopsis specifically alter floral organ number and initiation pattern [PDF]
, 1996 An open question in developmental biology is how groups of dividing cells can generate specific numbers of segments or organs. We describe the phenotypic effects of mutations in PERIANTHIA, a gene specifically required for floral organ patterning in ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Loss of YABBY2-Like Gene Expression May Underlie the Evolution of the Laminar Style in Canna and Contribute to Floral Morphological Diversity in the Zingiberales. [PDF]
, 2015 The Zingiberales is an order of tropical monocots that exhibits diverse floral morphologies. The evolution of petaloid, laminar stamens, staminodes, and styles contributes to this diversity.

Meta‐analysis fails to show any correlation between protein abundance and ubiquitination changes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We analyzed over 50 published proteomics datasets to explore the relationship between protein levels and ubiquitination changes across multiple experimental conditions and biological systems. Although ubiquitination is often associated with protein degradation, our analysis shows that changes in ubiquitination do not globally correlate with changes in ...
