Structural and Functional Properties of Starch From Popped Seeds of Makhana (Euryale ferox)
This study aimed to investigate the starch properties of raw and popped makhana (PM) seeds (Euryale ferox), focusing on changes in physicochemical, structural, and functional properties. The finding revealed that popped makhana starch (PMS) exhibited enhanced physicochemical characteristics compared to raw starch and versatile ingredient for starch ...

The developmental basis of floral nectary diversity and evolution
Summary Nectar is a central bridge between angiosperms and animal mutualists. It is produced by specialized structures termed nectaries, which can be found on different plant organs. Consumption of floral nectar by pollinators and the subsequent transfer of pollen contribute to the reproductive success of both angiosperms and their pollinators.

Carpels in Brasenia (Cabombaceae) are Completely Ascidiate Despite a Long Stigmatic Crest [PDF]
• Background and Aims The morphological structure of anthetic carpels of Brasenia (Cabombaceae), a member of the phylogenetically basal ANITA grade, has not been studied before. The carpel has a long stigmatic crest on the ventral side and could give the

Abstract Premise The occurrence of different microorganisms on aquatic macrophyte fossils suggests that biofilm microbes may facilitate leaf preservation. Understanding the impact of microorganisms on leaf preservation requires studies on living plants coupled with microbial amplicon sequencing.

Assessing arctic flora composition in the Siberian treeline ecotone by vegetation mapping, pollen analyses and sedimentary DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Arctic environments are one of the most climatically influenced areas worldwide. These influences are currently causing major changes in vegetation composition, for example in the Taymyr lowlands, which harbour the northernmost boreal-arctic treeline ...

Wild Bee Assemblages and Pollination Networks of Managed Emergent Wetlands in Central New York, USA
Wetlands are underrepresented in wild bee surveys yet we find they host a diversity of bee species and offer important late‐season floral resources. Wetland restoration and management for wildlife in the northeastern United States creates a matrix of freshwater wetland habitat that helps support the landscape's wild bee fauna.

Developmental morphology of branching flowers in Nymphaea prolifera [PDF]
Nymphaea and Nuphar (Nymphaeaceae) share an extra-axillary mode of floral inception in the shoot apical meristem (SAM). Some leaf sites along the ontogenetic spiral are occupied by floral primordia lacking a subtending bract.

Abstract Ostrya carpinifolia L., a member of the Betulaceae family, is a tree endemic to the Mediterranean basin that is well known for the hardness of its wood. In this study, we assess the anti‐pollution activities of a hydroalcoholic extract of O. carpinifolia twigs using several judiciously selected in vitro cosmetic bioassays.
