Botanic gardens play a crucial role in addressing global environmental challenges by providing a unique setting for long‐term plant studies and engaging the public in climate change awareness. Our review highlights the underuse of these gardens' living collections for monitoring climate impacts, revealing significant gaps in data and phylogenetic ...

Tinkering with transcription factor networks for developmental robustness of Ranunculales flowers [PDF]
The flowers of core eudicots and monocots are generally determined by the number of floral organs they produce, and their developmental set-up tolerates little change from the bauplan once the floral primordium is initiated. Many species outside the core eudicots and monocots are more plastic in the number of floral organs they produce.

Physicochemical study of Delphinium denudatum Wall (Ranunculales: Ranunculaceae) and their antioxidant activity [PDF]
The drug jadwar known as Delphinium denudatum Wall (Ranunculales: Ranunculaceae), the jadwar consist of dried tuberous roots of D. denudatum. An annual glabrous or slightly downy herbs found is Western Himalayas from Kumaon to Kashmir at altitudes of 3,000 m to 4,500 m specially on grassy slopes.

Summary The butterfly‐shaped keel flower is a highly successful floral form in angiosperms. These flowers steer the mechanical interaction with bees and thus are hypothesized to accelerate pollinator‐driven diversification. The exceptionally labile evolution of keel flowers in Papilionoideae (Fabaceae) provides a suitable system to test this hypothesis.

Seed Shape Diversity in families of the Order Ranunculales
Seed shape in the order Ranunculales is described with the objective of characterizing the morphological seed types in the families of this order and to establish a correlation between seed shape, plant structure and life style. Based on previous work in model plants (Arabidopsis thaliana, Lotus japonicus, Medicago truncatula), we have used the

The Immense Diversity of Floral Monosymmetry and Asymmetry Across Angiosperms [PDF]
Floral monosymmetry and asymmetry are traced through the angiosperm orders and families. Both are diverse and widespread in angiosperms. The systematic distribution of the different forms of monosymmetry and asymmetry indicates that both evolved numerous

Characterization of the basal angiosperm Aristolochia fimbriata: a potential experimental system for genetic studies [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Previous studies in basal angiosperms have provided insight into the diversity within the angiosperm lineage and helped to polarize analyses of flowering plant evolution.

Evolution of Perianth and Stamen Characteristics with Respect to Floral Symmetry in Ranunculales [PDF]
Floral symmetry presents two main states in angiosperms, namely polysymmetry and monosymmetry. Monosymmetry is thought to have evolved several times independently from polysymmetry, possibly in co-adaptation with specialized pollinators. Monosymmetry commonly refers to the perianth, even though associated androecium modifications have been reported ...

Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia
Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.
