WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A TREE? SONIC LAYERS, DOUBLENESS AND ECOLOGY IN MARTIN IDDON'S SAPINDALES [PDF]
AbstractIn this collaborative account of Iddon's Sapindales, the authors recount how their experiences of live and virtual clarinet sounds and environmental sounds combine in varied ways. By focusing on relationships among sonic layers, the authors emphasise the dynamic interplay of live and recorded performance, music and environment, the real and the

Insecticidal Activity of Trichilia hirta L. (Sapindales: Meliaceae) Extracts Against Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae and the Identification of Bioactive Compounds. [PDF]
Fruits of Trichilia hirta were extracted and fractionated according to solvent polarity. The resulting partitions were screened for insecticidal activity by evaluating larval mortality and weight after 7 and 14 days. LC‐MS analysis of the most active fraction enabled the annotation of secondary metabolites potentially associated with the observed ...

Genome sequence and salinity adaptation of the desert shrub Nitraria sibirica (Nitrariaceae, Sapindales). [PDF]
Abstract The genetic bases of halophytes for salinity tolerance are crucial for genetically breeding salt-tolerant crops. All natural Nitrariaceae species that exclusively occur in arid environments are highly tolerant to salt stress, but the underlying genomic bases to this adaptation remain unknown.

Dual Isotope Analysis Reveals Phylogenetic Patterns and Novel Insights Into Methoxy Group Synthesis of Structural Biomolecules in Leaf and Woody Plant Tissues. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Stable carbon and hydrogen isotopes of wood methoxy groups (δ2Hmeth, δ13Cmeth), mainly sourced by structural biomolecules like lignin and pectin, provide important insights into climatic, hydrological and physiological conditions. This study systematically investigated species‐specific δ2Hmeth and δ13Cmeth variations in leaves and woody twigs ...

Biogeography of Cedrela (Meliaceae, Sapindales) in Central and South America [PDF]
Dated phylogenies have helped clarify the complex history of many plant families that today are restricted to the world's tropical forests, but that have Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene fossils from the northern hemisphere. One such family is the Meliaceae.
