Anthyllis henoniana aerial parts were subjected to fractionated extraction. Methanolic fractions yielded high total phenolic and flavonoid contents with strong antiradical (anti‐DPPH) and neuroprotective (anti‐AChE) activities, whereas dichloromethane and cyclohexane fractions demonstrated potent cytotoxicity (anti‐MCF‐7, anti‐HCT‐116) and anti ...

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

Papilionoid inflorescences revisited (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) [PDF]
The inflorescence structure determines the spatiotemporal arrangement of the flowers during anthesis and is therefore vital for reproductive success. The Leguminosae are among the largest angiosperm plant families and they include some important crop plants. In papilionoid legumes, the raceme is the most common type of inflorescence.

Reconstructing an historical pollination syndrome: keel flowers
Background Keel flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, pentamerous flowers with three different petal types and reproductive organs enclosed by keel petals; generally there is also connation of floral parts such as stamens and keel petals.

Macrostructural Evolution of the Mitogenome of Butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea)
The mitogenome of the species belonging to the Papilionodea (Lepidoptera) is a double stranded circular molecule containing the 37 genes shared by Metazoa. Eight mitochondrial gene orders are known in the Papilionoidea. MIQGO is the plesiomorphic gene order for this superfamily, while other mitochondrial arrangements have a very limited distribution ...

Molecular phylogenetics clarifies generic boundaries of the papilionoid legume subtribe Clitoriinae
Abstract Clitoriinae is a morphologically distinctive and pantropically distributed subtribe within the legume tribe Phaseoleae (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae), yet its genus‐level taxonomic classification remains uncertain. This study presents the most comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Clitoriinae to date, integrating plastid (matK/trnK) and ...

Isoptopic evidence of the transfer of nitrogen fixed by legumes to coffee trees [PDF]
The use of isotopic methods has made it possible to quantify the contribution of nitrogen fixed by a coffee plantation. Thanks to the use of the natural 15N abundance assessment technique, we were able to show that, in field condition, roughly 30/ of the

Improvement of protein and amino acid contents in seeds of food legumes. A case study in Phaseolus [PDF]
Food legumes are considered as the major source of dietary proteins among the plant species. Protein and amino acid contents were evaluated in a wide sample of both wild and cultivated genotypes of Phaseolus species, with a view to investigate ...
