Lectins of Erythrina poeppigiana and Erythrina steyermarkii (Leguminosae): characterization and mitogenic effect

Revista de Biología Tropical, 1998
Erythrina species are widely distributed in Costa Rica and known popularly as "poró". In this study, two species were selected, Erythrina poeppigiana and Erythrina steyermarkii. Seed extracts were prepared in phosphate-buffered saline.

Improvement of protein and amino acid contents in seeds of food legumes. A case study in Phaseolus [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 1999
Food legumes are considered as the major source of dietary proteins among the plant species. Protein and amino acid contents were evaluated in a wide sample of both wild and cultivated genotypes of Phaseolus species, with a view to investigate ...

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

High‐quality genome of elite peanut cultivar ZH05 reveals subgenome asymmetry, pan‐genome diversity, and breeding insights

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A high‐quality reference genome for the elite peanut cultivar Zhonghua No. 5 revealed differing evolutionary paths between the two peanut subgenomes. SubA has higher overall gene expression and more open chromatin, whereas SubB has stronger structural organization, higher DNA methylation, and greater adaptive diversity associated with peanut evolution ...

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Species‐level controls of foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes: roles of traits and microbes in temperate trees

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Species‐level variation in temperate tree foliar greenhouse gas exchange, showing consistent foliar CH4 uptake, N2O emission, stronger CH4 uptake in fall leaves, and contrasting methanotroph communities between the high‐CH4‐oxidizing species Tilia americana and the low‐CH4‐oxidizing species Prunus virginiana. Summary The contribution of tree foliage to

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...
