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.

Structural variation drives rhizome innovation and adaptive divergence in sister Medicago species
Chromosome‐scale genome analysis, population resequencing, stress‐responsive transcriptomes and functional assays showed that coding and regulatory structural variants, especially gene duplications and noncoding presence‐absence variants, underlie rhizome formation in alpine Medicago archiducis‐nicolai and contrasting xeric adaptation in its non ...

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

Nodulation of Native Legumes in Pakistani Rangelands [PDF]
Nodulation was studied in 161 legumes (9 Caesalpinioideae, 19 Mimosoideae and 133 Papilionoideae) native in Pakistani rangelands. This consisted of two tribes of Caesalpinioideae, three tribes of Mimosoideae and 16 tribes of Papilionoideae.

ABSTRACT Strategies have been employed to address antimalarial drug resistance, including the exploration of new therapeutic targets. In this study, the stem bark of Dalbergia miscolobium was investigated using in vitro assays against Plasmodium falciparum and pyruvate kinase II (PyrKII), an essential enzyme for parasite development.

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 ...
