The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story [PDF]
Plants, People, PlanetSocietal Impact Statement Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s ...

Preparation of Porous Biochar from Soapberry Pericarp at Severe Carbonization Conditions
Fermentation, 2021 The residue remaining after the water extraction of soapberry pericarp from a biotechnology plant was used to produce a series of biochar products at pyrolytic temperatures (i.e., 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 °C) for 20 min plant was used to produce a ...

Distinct Evolutionary Patterns of NBS-Encoding Genes in Three Soapberry Family (Sapindaceae) Species [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Nucleotide-binding site (NBS)-type disease resistance genes (R genes) play key roles in plant immune responses and have co-evolved with pathogens over the course of plant lifecycles.

Deciphering Hyperammonia-Producing Bacteria (HAB) in the Rumen of Water Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) and Their Inhibition through Plant Extracts and Essential Oils [PDF]
MicroorganismsHyperammonia-producing bacteria (HAB) are a class of microbes present in the stomach of ruminants, responsible for the rapid rate of ammonia production from protein degradation beyond the capacity of these animals for their utilization.

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

Contrasting effects of experimental warming in the initiation year and the flowering year on flower phenology of boreal understory species. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise High‐latitude plants initiate flower primordia at least 1 year before flowering. While impacts of rising temperatures on phenology in the flowering year are well studied, the effects of warmer temperatures in the initiation year (IY; the year before flowering) are virtually unknown.

The potential evolutionary impact of invasive balloon vines on native soapberry bugs in South Africa [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2019 Following their establishment in new communities, invasive species may cause evolutionary changes in resident native species. This is clearly true for phytophagous insects, which may adapt rapidly when utilising abundant and widespread introduced hosts ...
