Fitness and Morphology Support Genetic Differentiation Across Different Geographic Scales in a Native Insect Utilising Native vs. Invasive Host Plants [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionNative species can evolve rapidly in response to utilising invasive species as novel resources. We investigated the genetic and trait differentiation of the Australian soapberry bug Leptocoris tagalicus across three biotypes: those feeding on invasive ...

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 ...

Hybridization and adaptation to introduced balloon vines in an
Molecular Ecology, 2013 AbstractContemporary adaptation of plant feeding insects to introduced hosts provides clear cases of ecologically based population divergence. In most cases the mechanisms permitting rapid differentiation are not well known. Here we study morphological and genetic variation associated with recent shifts by the Australian soapberry bugLeptocoris ...

Hypoglycin A in Cow’s Milk—A Pilot Study [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 Hypoglycin A (HGA) originating from soapberry fruits (litchi, and ackee) seeds or seedlings from the sycamore maple (SM) tree (related to Sapindaceae) may cause Jamaican vomiting sickness in humans and atypical myopathy in horses and ruminants.

Quantification of Metabolites for Assessing Human Exposure to Soapberry Toxins Hypoglycin A and Methylenecyclopropylglycine [PDF]
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2015 Ingestion of soapberry fruit toxins hypoglycin A and methylenecyclopropylglycine has been linked to public health challenges worldwide. In 1976, over 100 years after Jamaican vomiting sickness (JVS) was first reported, the cause of JVS was linked to the ingestion of the toxin hypoglycin A produced by ackee fruit.

Sweet wastewater: Irrigating sugarcane with soapberry effluent – Rio Cobre, Jamaica
, 2020 Wastewater reuse for irrigation is common in countries faced with water supply shortages. The Rio Cobre Basin of Jamaica is faced with water supply shortages because of the competing uses of the limited resources of the basin. The research investigated whether an integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach of reusing the treated effluent from

Somatic embryogenesis in leaf tissue culture of Soapberry (Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn.)
Plant Biotechnology, 2012 Leaf explants formed embryogenic calluses at a frequency of 53.9% when cultured on B5 media supplemented with 0.1 mg l 1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4- ) and 0.01 mg l 1 6-benzyladenine (BA) for 6 weeks. Upon transfer onto media with 5 mg l 1 abscisic acid, embryogenic calluses yielded somatic embryos at 73%.

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.
