Acclimation of seedlings of Gnetum leyboldii Tul. Gnetaceae to light changes in a tropical rain forest

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2013
The neotropical liana Gnetum leyboldii Gnetaceae is a gymnosperm that resembles angiosperms in wood anatomy, overall morphology, and seed dispersal mechanism. Like other woody lianas, seedlings germinate in the shaded forest understory and start climbing

Liana infestation impacts tree growth in a lowland tropical moist forest [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2009
Ecosystem-level estimates of the effect of lianas on tree growth in mature tropical forests are needed to evaluate the functional impact of lianas and their potential to affect the ability of tropical forests to sequester carbon, but these are currently ...

Phase Separation‐Mediated SRF/P54nrb Transcription Complex Shapes the Vasculature Microenvironment via Upregulating OLFML3 in Glioblastoma

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
We identified SRF as the key TF significantly associated with the malignant phenotype and poor prognosis of GBM. SRF forms a transcriptional complex with P54nrb via phase separation to upregulate the expression of OLFML3. OLFML3 activates ECs and promotes angiogenesis by degrading ECM, releasing proangiogenic factors, enhancing cell–cell adhesion, and ...

Molecular phylogenetics clarifies generic boundaries of the papilionoid legume subtribe Clitoriinae

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Clitoriinae is a morphologically distinctive and pantropically distributed subtribe within the legume tribe Phaseoleae (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae), yet its genus‐level taxonomic classification remains uncertain. This study presents the most comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Clitoriinae to date, integrating plastid (matK/trnK) and ...

Leaf photoprotection and water relations traits reveal novel axes of coordination and trade‐offs in leaf function

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1676-1697, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants can express considerable plasticity in leaf functional traits, but that plasticity may be constrained by coordination and trade‐offs among multiple functions.

Lianas have a seasonal growth advantage over co-occurring trees

, 2019
© 2019 by the Ecological Society of America The seasonal growth advantage hypothesis posits that plant species that grow well during seasonal drought will increase in abundance in forests with increasing seasonality of rainfall both in absolute numbers ...

Landscape forest cover, not edge contrast, modulates edge effects on palm diversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that landscape forest cover plays a critical role in modulating edge effects in plant communities in our study system, but not all woody crops systems provide buffering benefits, as cacao plantations in our study failed to soften edge effects.
