Palatability of geophyte underground storage organs partially explains their depth in the Cape Floristic Region, geophyte capital of the world

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The soil depth of underground storage organs (USOs) of geophytes involves cost–benefit trade‐offs and may relate to USO age, size, and disturbances such as fire and herbivory. Yet determinants of USO depth are poorly studied. We posit that belowground mammalian predation of USOs is a selective force for the positive relationship ...

The intensity and spatial dispersion of within‐plant herbivory drive trait‐specific resistance and tolerance in wild cotton

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Herbivory induces complex plant defensive responses that may vary depending on the amount and spatial dispersion of damage on the plant; however, of the two variables, damage dispersion has received much less attention. To address this gap, we studied wild cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) defensive responses to different herbivory amounts ...

Annatto‐Derived Carotenoids (Bixin and Norbixin) As Biodiesel Antioxidants: Characterization and Effects on Oxidative Stability (Rancimat and PetroOXY)

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Annatto‐derived bixin and norbixin were characterized and evaluated as natural antioxidants for soybean biodiesel. Their antioxidant performance and effects on oxidative stability were assessed using DPPH, Rancimat, and PetroOXY methods. ABSTRACT The increasing use of eco‐friendly fuels is increasing the production of biodiesel but soybean biodiesel is

Valorization of bark extracts from Cerrado and Amazon species: phenolic characterization, antioxidant capacity, and photoprotective potential for circular bioeconomy applications

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree bark remains an underexploited source of high‐value‐added phenolic compounds with potential circular bioeconomy applications. This work characterized bark extracts from two species of distinct Brazilian biomes, Stryphnodendron adstringens (Cerrado) and Myrcia eximia (Amazon), obtained with three solvents (ethanol, methanol and acetone ...
