24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 2111-2127, November 2025.
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

Effect of Temperature and Catalyst Concentration on Polyglycerol during Synthesis

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Morphology, molecular weight, polydispersity, functionality, and thermal properties are important characteristics when using polyglycerol as a building block in the development of materials for industrial applications such as hydrogels, surfactants, asphalts additives, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and drug delivery systems.

Apocynaceae wood evolution matches key morphological innovations

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Premise This paper provides an overview of the wood anatomy of the dogbane family (Apocynaceae), reconstructs wood anatomical trait evolution, and links this evolution with woody growth‐form transitions and floral and seed trait innovations across the family.

An Iterative Approach for the Optimization of Pavement Maintenance Management at the Network Level

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Pavement maintenance is one of the major issues of public agencies. Insufficient investment or inefficient maintenance strategies lead to high economic expenses in the long term. Under budgetary restrictions, the optimal allocation of resources becomes a crucial aspect.

Chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase‐like complex‐mediated cyclic electron flow is the main electron transport route in C4 bundle sheath cells

New Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 6, Page 2187-2200, September 2024.
Summary The superior productivity of C4 plants is achieved via a metabolic C4 cycle which acts as a CO2 pump across mesophyll and bundle sheath (BS) cells and requires an additional input of energy in the form of ATP. The importance of chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase‐like complex (NDH) operating cyclic electron flow (CEF) around Photosystem I (PSI) for ...

Decoupling cell size homeostasis in diatoms from the geometrical constraints of the silica cell wall

New Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 1, Page 258-270, July 2024.
Summary Unicellular organisms are known to exert tight control over their cell size. In the case of diatoms, abundant eukaryotic microalgae, two opposing notions are widely accepted. On the one hand, the rigid silica cell wall that forms inside the parental cell is thought to enforce geometrical reduction of the cell size.

How and why do species break a developmental trade‐off? Elucidating the association of trichomes and stomata across species

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Premise Previous studies have suggested a trade‐off between trichome density (Dt) and stomatal density (Ds) due to shared cell precursors. We clarified how, when, and why this developmental trade‐off may be overcome across species. Methods We derived equations to determine the developmental basis for Dt and Ds in trichome and stomatal indices (

CuticleTrace: A toolkit for capturing cell outlines from leaf cuticle with implications for paleoecology and paleoclimatology

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 12, Issue 1, January-February 2024.
Abstract Premise Leaf epidermal cell morphology is closely tied to the evolutionary history of plants and their growth environments and is therefore of interest to many plant biologists. However, cell measurement can be time consuming and restrictive with current methods.

EFECTO DE LA DEFORMACIÓN PLÁSTICA EN LAS ESTRUCTURAS DE PAVIMENTO FLEXIBLE

Respuestas, 2020
En Colombia, uno de los daños más frecuentes de las estructuras de pavimento flexible es la deformación plástica conocida comúnmente como el ahuellamiento, el cual consiste en una depresión canalizada en la huella de circulación de los vehículos producida por el efecto de las cargas del tránsito, las variaciones de temperatura de servicio del pavimento,
