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 ...

Ammonium assimilation inhibitors weaken the growth of moso bamboo seedlings through metabolic dysregulation [PDF]

PeerJ
Background The uncontrolled expansion of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) in subtropical regions threatens forest ecosystem integrity and biodiversity, yet effective control measures are lacking.

Endophytic Bacteria From the Roots of the Medicinal Plant Alkanna tinctoria Tausch (Boraginaceae): Exploration of Plant Growth Promoting Properties and Potential Role in the Production of Plant Secondary Metabolites

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Alkannin and shikonin (A/S) are enantiomeric naphthoquinones produced in the roots of certain plants from the Boraginaceae family such as Lithospermum spp. and Alkanna spp. They possess antimicrobial, anti-tumoral and wound healing properties.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

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.
