The Chloroplast Genome of Anomochloa Marantoidea (Anomochlooideae; Poaceae) Comprises a Mixture of Grass-like and Unique Features [PDF]

, 2010
Features in the complete plastome of Anomochloa marantoidea (Poaceae) were investigated. This species is one of four of Anomochlooideae, the crown node of which diverged before those of any other grass subfamily.

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Perceiving Vegetation From Social Positions: Discourses on Plants in a Mediterranean Landscape

Sociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how vegetation is perceived, named and valued requires attention to the social positions from which these perceptions are produced. This article analyses vegetation perception from different social positions based on qualitative research conducted in the province of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain), a Mediterranean landscape characterized

Seeing herbaria in a new light: leaf reflectance spectroscopy unlocks trait and classification modeling in plant biodiversity collections

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,
