Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.

Description of the rate‐limiting hydrogen tunneling mechanism for plant 9‐ and 13‐lipoxygenases
Abstract Soybean lipoxygenase (GmLOX1), a plant 13‐LOX, has long been considered a model protein for non‐trivial, quantum hydrogen tunneling in enzyme catalysis. Hydrogen tunneling mechanisms have also been confirmed for LOXs across mammalian, fungal, and bacterial kingdoms.

Automated extraction of leaf mass per area from digitized herbarium specimens
Summary The digitization of vast herbarium collections has made millions of plant specimen images freely available online, which can now be used to generate phenotypic datasets of unprecedented scope. Here, we assess the potential of computer vision tools to automate the extraction of predicted leaf mass per area (LMApred) from digitized herbarium ...

Traditional Respiratory Remedies From Anatolia: Ethnobotanical Insights and Bioactive Properties
ABSTRACT Respiratory disorders, ranging from acute viral infections such as influenza and bronchitis to chronic inflammatory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, and pneumonia, represent a major global health burden, affecting millions annually. Traditional Anatolian folk medicine has long relied on plant‐based

Environmental stress is generally expected to reduce biodiversity, yet its effects under spatially heterogeneous conditions remain unclear. Along an arid riparian gradient of the Ulungur River, we show that local herbaceous plant diversity peaks in downstream reaches despite severe salinization–alkalization and phosphorus limitation, driven by ...
