Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context. [PDF]
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

Was the evolution of faster stomata driven by increased gas exchange rates rather than increasing water use efficiency? [PDF]
Summary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of

Identification of Two Parasitic Nematodes in The Rhizosphere of Centranthera grandiflora in Pingbian, Yunnan [PDF]
Centranthera grandiflora, a kind of traditional Chinese medicinal materials in Yunnan Province, has very high medicinal value. However, constant expansion of the plantation has resulted in worsening root diseases, an obstacle of continuous cropping. From

Long-term balancing selection drives evolution of immunity genes in Capsella. [PDF]
Genetic drift is expected to remove polymorphism from populations over long periods of time, with the rate of polymorphism loss being accelerated when species experience strong reductions in population size.

Exogenous Gibberellic Acid Ameliorates Salinity-Induced Morphological and Biochemical Alterations in Portulaca grandiflora [PDF]
: An investigation was carried out to estimate the NaCl stress and ameliorative effects of Gibberellic Acid (GA3) on Portulaca grandiflora Hook. A crop experiment was conducted (CRBD) where all the pots were irrigated to field capacity.
