Meroterpenes from Peperomia oreophila Hensch. and Peperomia arifolia Miq. [PDF]

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2012
One new meroterpene, 4-[(2'E)-3',7'-dimethylocta-2',6'-dien-1'-yl]-5-methyl-2-(3"‑methylbut-2"-enyl)-benzene-1,3-diol, together with eight known compounds, was isolated from the MeOH extract from the leaves of Peperomia oreophila Hesch. The prenylated phenol was also isolated as main compound from the CH2Cl2:MeOH extract from leaves of Peperomia ...

Beyond Structure: The Role of the Outer Integument in Embryo, Endosperm, and Seed Development in Annona. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT In most angiosperms, the embryo develops within maternal tissues and is enclosed by two integuments, which play a crucial role in embryo and seed development. However, while this role has been extensively studied in model eudicots like Arabidopsis thaliana, it remains understudied in non‐model plants and largely unexplored in basal and early ...

Endemic Vascular Epiphytes: Integrating Protected Areas and Suitability Models in the Amazon Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study aimed to identify the number of vascular epiphytes endemic to the Amazon rainforest and to estimate the distribution of 15 of these species using species distribution modeling (SDM). In addition, the work examined the potential occurrence of these epiphytes inside and outside protected areas (PAs) in the Amazon, with a view to predicting ...

Evolution of Epiphytism and Fruit Traits Act Unevenly on the Diversification of the Species-Rich Genus Peperomia (Piperaceae)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The species-rich genus Peperomia (Black Pepper relatives) is the only genus among early diverging angiosperms where epiphytism evolved. The majority of fruits of Peperomia release sticky secretions or exhibit hook-shaped appendages indicative of ...

Leaf Length Predicts Twig Xylem Vessel Diameter Across Angiosperms. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT As plants grow taller, increasing conductive pathlength imposes hydraulic resistance, challenging the maintenance of water transport to leaves. While tip‐to‐base conduit widening along the stem helps mitigate this resistance, theoretical models and empirical data suggest that stem widening alone is insufficient to fully compensate.
