The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The presence of more than two copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. [Correction added on 22 January 2026, after first online publication: the preceding sentence has been corrected.] The Amazonian tree flora is the most species ...

Systemic Toxicity of L-Mimosine in Rabbits: A Non-Rodent Model for Safety Assessment. [PDF]

J Appl Toxicol
ABSTRACT L‐mimosine is a non‐protein amino acid primarily found in the Mimosoideae subfamily, with high concentrations in Leucaena leucocephala and Mimosa pudica. These plants are widely used in both human and animal nutrition, as well as in phytotherapeutic applications. While the toxic effects of L‐mimosine have been extensively studied in ruminants,

Ravenelia piepenbringiae and Ravenelia hernandezii, two new rust species on Senegalia (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae) from Panama and Costa Rica

MycoKeys, 2018
Two new rust species, Raveneliapiepenbringiae and R.hernandezii (Pucciniales) on Senegalia spp. (Fabaceae) are described from the Neotropics (Panama, Costa Rica). A key to the species on neotropical Senegalia spp. is provided.

The Complete Chloroplast Genome of Tornillo (<i>Cedrelinga cateniformis</i> Ducke 1922, Fabaceae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Tornillo (Cedrelinga cateniformis) is a tropical tree from the Fabaceae family, valued as a substitute for overexploited timber species. This study presents the first complete chloroplast genome sequencing of Tornillo, revealing a 176,700 bp structure with 138 genes and confirming its phylogenetic placement within the Ingeae tribe.

Beyond conservation: the landscape of chloroplast genome rearrangements in angiosperms. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Chloroplast genomes (plastomes) have long been considered structurally conserved, but recent sequencing efforts have uncovered pervasive rearrangements that challenge this assumption. This review catalogues the main types of plastome modifications: large and small inversions; insertions and deletions (indels); gene and intron losses; horizontal

A new spin on chemotaxonomy: Using non-proteogenic amino acids as a test case. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Specialized metabolites serve various roles for plants and humans. Unlike core metabolites, specialized metabolites are restricted to certain plant lineages; thus, in addition to their ecological functions, specialized metabolites can serve as diagnostic markers of plant lineages.

SERIANTHES Benth. (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae-Ingeae)

Reinwardtia, 2015
The genus Serianthes was erected by Bentham to accomodate plants which Wallich had called Inga grandiflora, from Singapore, and those which Bertero had called Acacia myriadenia, from Tahiti.

Differential gene reactions reveal drought response strategies in African acacias. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY Drought tolerance involves a complex series of genetic reactions that expand over time as water stress intensifies. We investigated gene expression reactions over 43 days of drought stress in two widespread African savanna trees: the umbrella acacia (Vachellia tortilis) and the splendid thorn acacia (Vachellia robusta).

Economic and ethnobotanical importance of the genera Albizia, Parkia and Tetrapleura(Leguminosae-Mimosoideae) in Cameroon

International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences, 2022
People use goods and services related to Leguminosae-Mimosoideae resources to satisfy multiple needs in Cameroon. Despite some work already done, information on these goods and services remains insufficient.
