Taxonomic revision of the genus Tzveleviochloa (Poaceae, Aveninae) in India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The taxonomy of Tzveleviochloa in India is revised based on morphological evidence, comprehensive observations of herbarium specimens and field records, and several botanical explorations in the study area. The accepted diversity is increased from two to five species, including two recently described species. The genus is distributed in the Western and

Evaluation of the Genetic Variation of Cowpea Landraces (Vigna unguiculata) from Western Cameroon Using Qualitative Traits

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2017
Characterization of the genetic diversity and analysis of the genetic relationship between accessions of a crop species is a key step in breeding superior cultivars. The main objective of the hereby study was to determine the genetic variation between 30

Canscora agni (Gentianaceae), a new species from the fire‐prone Indian savannas

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
We describe Canscora agni from the Indian savannas as a distinct species which differs from its allied species Canscora alata in having fewer and shorter leaves, pedicel‐wings unequal across the length, bracts with glandular hair on the margins, calyx‐wings being four, wider, up to 2.3 mm, with distinct reticulate venation and having ovary length up to

A new species and a synonym in Centaurea sect. Microlophus (Asteraceae, Cardueae–Centaureinae) from the Khuzestan Province, southwestern Iran

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species, Centaurea baghmalekensis Negaresh (Asteraceae) in C. sect. Microlophus (Cass.) DC., is described and illustrated from the Khuzestan Province, southwestern Iran. The new species is morphologically most similar to Centaurea pabotii Wagenitz, a recently described species from the Khuzestan Province.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Animating blossom: Time‐lapse to encourage plant awareness in the YouTube era

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse videos can effectively capture key traits of flower blossoms, such as color, 3D structure, and temporal changes, making them valuable complements to herbarium specimens and other botanical collections. Despite the abundance of such videos on YouTube, most provide no ecological and botanical insights.

ANALYSING THE PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CORE-SPUN YARNS [PDF]

Annals of the University of Oradea: Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork, 2018
Core spun yarn is also named as complex, compound, composite or hybrid yarn can be defined as the combination of filament and staple fibres. A filament which is called core is covered by staple fibres called sheath. In this study, it was aimed to analyse

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Impact of Weft Yarn Structure and Fiber Type on Weft Yarn Velocity and Twist Loss in Air-Jet Weaving: A Critical Review

Journal of Natural Fibers
Air-jet weaving is an innovative weaving technique that uses friction between the yarn surface and air stream to propel the weft yarn. The interaction between the yarn surface and air is complex and affects weft yarn motion.
