ABSTRACT Cyclotides are a unique class of ribosomally synthesized cysteine‐rich miniproteins characterized by a head‐to‐tail cyclized backbone and three conserved disulfide‐bonds in a knotted arrangement. Originally they were discovered in the coffee‐family plant Oldenlandia affinis (Rubiaceae) and have since been identified in several species of the ...

Floral epidermal structure and flower orientation:Getting to grips with awkward flowers [PDF]
The petal epidermis has been found to be important in mediating flower-pollinator interactions. Structures produced on the petal surface, in particular cone-shaped papillate (or conical) cells, have been shown to enhance bumblebee preference for flowers.

Large distribution and high sequence identity of a Copia‑type retrotransposon in angiosperm families [PDF]
International audienceRetrotransposons are the main component of plant genomes. Recent studies have revealed the complexity of their evolutionary dynamics. Here, we have identified Copia25 in Coffea canephora, a new plant retrotransposon belonging to the

Kupeantha (Coffeeae, Rubiaceae), a new genus from Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea [PDF]
Two new coffee relatives (tribe Coffeeae, Rubiaceae), discovered during botanical expeditions to Cameroon, are examined for generic placement, and the placement of three previously known species (Argocoffeopsis fosimondi, A. spathulata and Calycosiphonia

Reproductive and Seed Germination Characteristics of Woody Borreria (Diodia Ocimifolia) in a Plantation Ecosystem [PDF]
Woody borreria belongs to the subfamily Rubioidene in the family Rubiacene. It is a brush weed 1 to 1.5 m high and reproduces through seeds. A survey confirmed the presence of woody borreria in every state of Malaysia except Perlis, Kelantan and ...

Phylogeny and classification of the coffee family (Rubiaceae, Gentianales): Overview and outlook
Abstract The use of molecular data in phylogenetic reconstruction during more than three decades has greatly improved our understanding of the macroevolutionary history of the coffee family (Rubiaceae) and has provided a solid basis for improvement of its classification. Based on the results of 130 studies, among them most recent phylogenomic works, we

Deep divergences in the coffee family and the systematic position of Acranthera [PDF]
Despite extensive efforts, there are unresolved questions on evolutionary relationships in the angiosperm family Rubiaceae. Here, information from six loci and 149 Rubiaceae taxa provide new insights. Acranthera and Coptosapelta are strongly supported as
