Taxonomic and phylogenetic biases in translocated angiosperm plant species across European countries

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation translocations are a well‐known conservation tool used to reverse the effects of local population extinctions and restore ecosystems. Compared with mammals and birds, plants are underrepresented in translocation programs, and little is known about the potential taxonomic and phylogenetic biases of plant translocation efforts.

Mining MYB transcription factors from the genomes of orchids (Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium) and characterization of an orchid R2R3-MYB gene involved in water-soluble polysaccharide biosynthesis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Members of the MYB superfamily act as regulators in a wide range of biological processes in plants. Despite this, the MYB superfamily from the Orchidaceae has not been identified, and MYB genes related to bioactive water-soluble polysaccharide (WSP ...

PARP Inhibitors in Genitourinary Cancer: A New Paradigm Beyond Prostate Cancer

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alterations in the homologous recombination repair genes, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, are prevalent in various cancers, presenting a unique opportunity to develop synthetic lethal strategies that target homologous recombination deficiency (HRD).

Beyond Deception: What Else Do Flower Wasps (Hymenoptera: Thynnidae: Thynninae) Do in Flowers Worldwide?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...

Building a Genetic Manipulation Tool Box for Orchid Biology: Identification of Constitutive Promoters and Application of CRISPR/Cas9 in the Orchid, Dendrobium officinale

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Orchidaceae is the second largest family of flowering plants, which is highly valued for its ornamental purposes and medicinal uses. Dendrobium officinale is a special orchid species that can grow without seed vernalization.

Kalymmatonema gen. nov. (Scytonemataceae, Cyanobacteria): A desert soil crust genus previously identified as Scytonema hyalinum, with description of seven species new to science

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerous cyanobacterial strains previously identified as Scytonema hyalinum were determined to be phylogenetically distant from the type species of Scytonema, S. hofmannii. Morphological and molecular evidence suggests this distinct clade necessitates placement in a new genus, and we have described Kalymmatonema gen. nov. herein. Kalymmatonema

The road less taken: Dihydroflavonol 4‐reductase inactivation and delphinidin anthocyanin loss underpins a natural intraspecific flower colour variation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual cues are of critical importance for the attraction of animal pollinators, however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underpinning intraspecific floral colour variation. Here, we combined comparative spectral analysis, targeted metabolite profiling, multi‐tissue transcriptomics, differential gene expression, sequence ...

Public Presentations of Plants: Colonial Legacies and Indigenous Perspectives in the Botanical Gardens of The Huntington

open access: yesMuseum Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In light of recent demands to diversify and decolonize museums, which have influenced curatorial practices the world over, this article examines how the botanical gardens of The Huntington in Southern California communicate colonial legacies of their plant collections to the visiting public.
