How weak twining lianas adapt to competition with host tree trunks: Case of Merremia boisiana. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 The total number of vessels in secondary xylem (Nt) was positively and linearly correlated with cross‐sectional area of stem. Vessel density (Vmm‐2), average vessel diameter (VDave), and percentage of vessels wider than 300 μm in diameter (P300) fluctuated greatly in younger stems and tended to be stable in older stems.

Active Antialopecia Chemical Identification of Merremia peltata Leaves and Computational Study toward Androgen Receptor Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2022 Alopecia is a health condition in which the hair loses its function in some or all of the body. Alopecia occurs due to various genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors. One of the methods developed to treat alopecia is through inhibition of the enzyme 5‐α‐reductase, which converts testosterone into its more potent metabolite, dihydrotestosterone

The long road of functional recruitment-The evolution of a gene duplicate to pyrrolizidine alkaloid biosynthesis in the morning glories (Convolvulaceae). [PDF]
Plant Direct, 2022 Abstract In plants, homospermidine synthase (HSS) is a pathway‐specific enzyme initiating the biosynthesis of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which function as a chemical defense against herbivores. In PA‐producing Convolvulaceae (“morning glories”), HSS originated from deoxyhypusine synthase at least >50 to 75 million years ago via a gene duplication ...

Capacity and capability of remote sensing to inform invasive plant species management in the Pacific Islands region. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The Pacific Islands region is home to several of the world's biodiversity hotspots, yet its unique flora and fauna are under threat because of biological invasions. These invasions are likely to proliferate as human activity increases and large‐scale natural disturbances unfold, exacerbated by climate change. Remote sensing data and techniques

Tools and targets: The dual role of plant viruses in CRISPR–Cas genome editing
The Plant Genome, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023 Abstract The recent emergence of tools based on the clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR‐associated (Cas) proteins have revolutionized targeted genome editing, thus holding great promise to both basic plant science and precision crop breeding. Conventional approaches for the delivery of editing components rely

Pest categorisation of Milviscutulus mangiferae
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Milviscutulus mangiferae (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccidae), the mango shield scale, for the EU. The native range of M. mangiferae is uncertain. This species occurs widely in tropical and warmer subtropical regions throughout the world.

CRISPR/Cas‐based tools for the targeted control of plant viruses
Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 1701-1718, November 2022., 2022 Plant viruses pose a major threat to global food security. In this review we provide an overview of the use and limitations of CRISPR/Cas‐based technology for resistance against DNA and RNA viruses in plants. Abstract Plant viruses are known to infect most economically important crops and pose a major threat to global food security.
