Revisiting an ecophysiological oddity: Hydathode‐mediated foliar water uptake in Crassula species from southern Africa

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 460-481, February 2024.
Abstract Hydathodes are usually associated with water exudation in plants. However, foliar water uptake (FWU) through the hydathodes has long been suspected in the leaf‐succulent genus Crassula (Crassulaceae), a highly diverse group in southern Africa, and, to our knowledge, no empirical observations exist in the literature that unequivocally link FWU ...

Augmented Hybrid Sunscreen Incorporating Myrothamnus flabellifolius and Citrullus lanatus: A Pre-Clinical Investigation

Journal of Advances in Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences
The sun emits radiation with different ionising energies in a wide spectrum of wavelengths, frequencies and energies inflicting various forms of actinic damage to dermal structures. Damage can either be direct DNA damage through alteration of gene expression and compromised inflammatory responses or indirectly through the generation of free radicals ...

Metabolite Profiling and Bioactivity Screening of Tylosema esculentum, Myrothamnus flabellifolius and Ozoroa paniculosa extracts using Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography–High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS)

Abstract Natural resources provide vital support to communities, and indigenous plants remain particularly important, as they are widely used for food, medicine, and cultural practices. In the quest to integrate these resources into modern applications, exploring their phytochemical composition is essential for both ...
