How searcher shoots grow and branch in mature liana mats: the case of Merremia boisiana
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe proliferation of vigorous lianas usually forms liana canopies over the crowns of host trees and liana mats on the ground of open areas or large forest gaps.

Stilbenoids in Lianas of Gnetum parvifolium.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2001 Five new stilbene dimers were isolated from the lianas of Gnetum parvifolium in addition to known stilbenoids. The structures of the compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence, including long-range coupling and nuclear Overhauser effect experiments, in NMR spectrum.

Change in liana density over 30 years in a Bornean rain forest supports the escape hypothesis
Ecosphere, 2021 Liana dynamics may influence tree dynamics and vice versa. Only long‐term studies can perhaps disentangle them. In two permanent plots of lowland dipterocarp forest at Danum, a liana census in 1988 was repeated in 2018.

Wanted: new allometric equations for large lianas and African lianas [PDF]
Biotropica, 2016 AbstractLiana abundance appears to be increasing, possibly to the detriment of trees, but methods for measuring liana biomass are undependable. We show that five commonly used allometric equations produce disparate results and discuss two large information gaps—Central African lianas and large lianas—that currently preclude accurate liana biomass ...

Stem cambial variants of Taiwan lianas
Botanical Studies, 2022 Abstract Background: Cambium in lianas, responsible for secondary growth, develop diverse and diagnostic traits during the climbing phase. Studies on the cross-section of Taiwanese liana cambial variants are scarce. We collected multiple stem cross-sections from 287 liana species belonging to 52 families.

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Vitex L. is a pantropical genus of Lamiaceae comprising 209 taxa. Brazil harbors 35 species, representing nearly 50% of the genus richness in the Neotropics, with the Amazon showing the highest richness, followed by the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado domains. Nevertheless, most taxonomic studies of the genus have been conducted in Africa and Asia.
