Diel net CO2 exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low‐level CAM photosynthesis
In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.

Abstract The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii Faure, 1929, has been recorded in Italy for the first time. This species was recently reported in Spain and Portugal. Its presence has been confirmed in the major citrus‐growing area of Catania province (Sicily), infesting citrus trees. S. aurantii is currently included in the EPPO A1 List

Inflorescence Development and Composition in Kalanchoe(Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln.).
The process of inflorescence development from flower initiation to anthesis was observed in a dichasium, kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln.) 'Red Glow'. Our major interests were why, when, and how florets aborted. To describe and analyze inflorescence development, an inflorescence was classified into 4 structural hierarchies: An inflorescence ...

ABSTRACT Various factors can trigger water stress in plants, particularly in those growing in dry tropical regions. To survive under such conditions, plants produce metabolites with adaptive functions. However, metabolomic data on the leaves of Malpighiaceae species cultivated in both dry and humid tropical areas of Brazil remain scarce.

The Comparative Analysis of Phenolic Compounds Accumulation in Leaves of Various Kinds of Kalanchoe
One of actual problems of modern pharmacology is creation of new medicines on the basis of vegetable raw materials. In this plan some succulents present a great interest in particular some kinds of the genus Kalanchoe, such as Kalanchoe pinnata (K ...

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Two Kalanchoë Species during Plantlet Formation
Few species in the Kalanchoë genus form plantlets on their leaf margins as an asexual reproduction strategy. The limited molecular studies on plantlet formation show that an organogenesis ortholog, SHOOTMERISTEMLESS (STM) and embryogenesis genes, such as

Abstract Termite mounds (TMs) are characteristic micro‐ecosystems of tropical dry woodland landscapes. Although their effects on woody plant functional diversity and ecosystem functioning have been relatively well studied, herbaceous communities have received much less attention.

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa
ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

It was found previously that methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) induced leaf abscission in Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. In present studies it was shown that JA-Me markedly increased the total activities of cellulase, polygalacturonase, pectinase and xylanase in ...
