Evolution of blue-flowered species of genus Linum based on high-throughput sequencing of ribosomal RNA genes

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background The species relationships within the genus Linum have already been studied several times by means of different molecular and phylogenetic approaches. Nevertheless, a number of ambiguities in phylogeny of Linum still remain unresolved.

Material choices for fibre in the Neolithic: an approach through the measurement of mechanical properties [PDF]

, 2016
Studies of the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Europe have focused on plants and animals exploited for food. However, the exploitation of plants for fibres underwent a significant change with the addition of domestic flax as a fibre crop.

Importance of interaction between the matrix effect and microbial metabolism in the bioavailability of lignans

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plant‐lignans are polyphenols with low bioavailability and bioactivity that are transformed by the intestinal microbiota into enterolignans. Our hypotheses are: (i) the way in which plant‐lignans are ingested in the diet affects, in a decisive way, the microbial metabolism of these compounds and (ii) an increase in lignan ...

Feeding preference of Apostichopus japonicus: comparing carbon stable isotope analysis and carbon budget approach

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2018
Research into the feeding preferences of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus is essential for its aquaculture. We adopted both carbon budget and stable isotope analysis approaches to determine the feeding preference of this species.

Is a plant truly plastic? Nutrients and neighbours induce trait‐specific responses, but performance depends on response direction

Oikos, EarlyView.
Plants live in a heterogeneous world, where nutrient and neighbour distributions vary in space and time. Plants can respond to this variation through plastic responses in individual organs, which are assumed to be coordinated among traits to support a coherent, adaptive strategy, maintaining plant growth in varying environments.

Living by the lake: Plant food diversity in a prehistoric lake‐dwelling community in the Republic of North Macedonia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the relationship between wetland ecosystems and prehistoric lakeshore settlements within the Lake Ohrid basin (a biodiversity hotspot) by considering plant food systems at Ploča Mičov Grad, North Macedonia. The mid‐fifth millennium (c.4555–4373 to 4437–4241 cal BCE) waterlogged assemblage contained a diverse spectrum of ...
