Foliar, nonstructural nectaries in the Marantaceae [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1985
Nonstructural, foliar nectaries have been found in two genera of the Marantaceae (Zingiberales). Two nectaries are located on each leaf, at the junction of the leaf sheath and petiole. Externally, they may be readily distinguished from the surrounding tissue by their lighter color and absence of hairs.

Timber and trails: Low-intensity selective logging and elephant trails shape seedling dynamics in an Afrotropical forest. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Very low‐intensity selective logging can be a compromise between strict conservation and income‐generating land use in tropical forests. Investigating how selective logging influences the understory environment and seedling dynamics as the forest regenerates offers insights into whether logging alters forest dynamics, influencing the ...

Modeling the Current and Future Distribution of Indianthus virgatus (Roxb.) Suksathan & Borchs.: A Monotypic Plant Endemic to the Western Ghats-Sri Lanka Biodiversity Hotspot. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This article projected the distribution of Indianthus virgatus, a monotypic plant endemic to the Western Ghats–Sri Lanka biodiversity hotspot. The article also highlights the role of environmental parameters in determining the current and future distribution projections using MaxEnt and Wallace EcoMod. ABSTRACT Species distribution modeling (SDM) is an

Photosynthesis under far-red light-evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light-harvesting complexes. [PDF]

FEBS Lett
Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

Phylogeny and classification of Marantaceae [PDF]

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2001
Abstract Relationships of Marantaceae were estimated from nucleotide sequence variation in the rps 16 intron (plastid DNA) and from morphological characters. Fifty-nine species (21 genera) formed the ingroup, and 12 species (12 genera) of other Zingiberales formed the outgroup. There is no support for the traditional subdivision of Marantaceae into a

NOTES ON THE MARANTACEAE OF SURINAME [PDF]

Acta Botanica Neerlandica, 1955
The list of Marantaceae published by PULLE (1906) comprises 20 species belonging to 6 genera, the largest genus being Calathea with 8 species. It was found, however, that one of the species does not belong to the family: investigation of the type of Calathea strobilifera (Miq.) Koern., viz.
