Periphyton density is similar on native and non‐native plant species [PDF]

Freshwater Biology, 2017
Abstract Non‐native plants increasingly dominate the vegetation in aquatic ecosystems and thrive in eutrophic conditions. In eutrophic conditions, submerged plants risk being overgrown by epiphytic algae; however, if non‐native plants are less susceptible to periphyton than natives, this would contribute to their dominance.

Insight into the Phylogenetic Relationships and Evolutionary History of Indocalamus (Bambusoideae) Through Comparative Analyses of Plastomes

Horticulturae
Indocalamus Nakai, a genus within the tribe Arundinarieae, has significant horticultural and economic value. However, its classification has long been challenging, and due to limited sampling, both intra- and intergeneric phylogenetic relationships, as ...

Understanding Water Utilization Mechanisms in Degrading Bamboo Shoots: A Cytological and Physiological Study

Plants
Degradation of shoots, characterized by stunted growth and signs of water deficit, is common in bamboo stands. However, the specific mechanisms underlying water utilization in degrading shoots remain unclear.

Effect of explant type (leaf, stem) and 2,4-D concentration on callus induction: influence of elicitor type (biotic, abiotic), elicitor concentration and elicitation time on biomass growth rate and costunolide biosynthesis in gazania (Gazania rigens) cell suspension cultures

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2022
Gazania rigens (L.) Gaertn. (Asteraceae) is a medicinal plant with high ornamental potential and use in landscaping. The therapeutic potential of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) as plant natural products for pharmaceutical development has gained extensive ...

Nativeness is not binary—a graduated terminology for native and non‐native species in the Anthropocene

Restoration Ecology, 2022
With novel ecosystems becoming the norm, it is increasingly necessary to re‐evaluate what is meant by “restoration.” An important aspect concerns which species are defined as native and, by extension, non‐native. In order to better inform restoration actions, we have here devised a classification system of 10 graduated terms describing intermediate ...

New Combination and Two Synonyms of Indocalamus Nakai (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) from China Based on Morphological Characters and Phylogenetic Evidence

Taxonomy
Based on several sources of evidence from morphology, the micromorphology of the abaxial leaf epidermis, and a phylogenetic analysis using complete chloroplast genome data, a new combination and two new synonyms are reported in the genus Indocalamus ...

Evolution of Plant AIG1-like Proteins: Different Modes of Sequence Divergence and Their Contributions to Functional Diversification

Plants
AIG1 (avrRpt2-induced gene 1)-like proteins are a class of GTPases that play crucial roles in plants, functioning both in chloroplast protein import and disease resistance.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Genome-wide analysis of the bZIP gene family in Cinnamomum camphora ('Gantong 1') reveals the putative function in anthocyanin biosynthesis

Heliyon
Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors (TFs) regulate plant development, growth, and secondary metabolism. The formation of red bark of new ornamental cultivar 'Gantong 1' is regulated mainly by anthocyanin anabolism.
