DNA Metabarcoding as a Complementary Approach to Traditional Surveys for Monitoring the Plant Diversity in the Amazon canga

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
The canga of the Serra dos Carajás in the Eastern Amazon is a biologically rich region with important iron ore deposits. We used a comprehensive DNA barcode library to test the implementation of DNA metabarcoding for plant species monitoring. In this study, we observed that soil eDNA was more efficient in assessing canga plant diversity, revealing a ...

Pest categorisation of Coccus viridis

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.

Diversification of the stem vascular system in a clade of recent radiation and multiple habit transitions: The Bunchosia clade (Malpighiaceae)

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Premise Within the Malpighiaceae, the Bunchosia clade is distinctive for its significant habit variation and abundance of different vascular variants. However, the processes underlying the diversification of the vascular system over time and the ontogenetic events involved remain unclear.

How to Test for Seed Mucilage to Examine an Age‐Old Question: A Response to Ladwig and Lucas (2024)

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Traits of seeds are far less‐studied than those of vegetative plants, despite the importance of this stage in a plant's life cycle. Much research has demonstrated the importance of certain aspects of seed phenotype, including both chemical and physical traits, to survival in the face of biotic and abiotic selective pressures.
