Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Screening of historical and current Upland and Pima cotton germplasm for resistance to Rhizoctonia solani

BMC Research Notes
Objective The fungus Rhizoctonia solani is an important seedling pathogen to many plant hosts including cotton (Gossypium). For multiple annual crops there have been relatively few screenings of germplasm conducted to identify potential sources of ...

Comparative efficacy of seed biopriming and soil drenching with Bacillus altitudinis TM22 and Bacillus atrophaeus MCM61 on the suppression of Fusarium wilt of cotton

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Co‐application of Bacillus strains TM22 and MCM61 suppressed Fusarium wilt of cotton. Seed biopriming with Bacillus strains performed better than soil drenching. TM22 + MCM61 improved vegetative and physiological aspects in cotton plants. TM22 + MCM61 enhanced the activity of defense enzymes and defense gene expression.

Abundant Small Genetic Alterations after Upland Cotton Domestication

BioMed Research International, 2018
Domestication has long been recognized as the most direct and effective way to intentionally influence morphological and physiological phenotypes in plants and animals. Consequently, understanding how small genetic alterations contribute to domestication is of considerable importance.

Was the Inca Economy Based on “Protomoney”? Or, Why Accounting Systems Should Not Be Conflated With Concepts of Exchange Value

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The khipu knotted string records in the ancient Andes were accounting systems, but they did not indicate any concepts of commensurability or exchange value. They were not incipient money; instead, monetized commerce appears to have predated the economic organization of the Inca society. The article begins by tracing the emergence of coinage in

Neglected Floral Visitors in the Galapagos Islands: Understanding the Structure of Ant‐Flower Interaction Networks

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ant‐flower interactions are prevalent in many ecosystems, yet their ecological significance remains poorly understood, particularly in isolated systems like the Galapagos Islands, where unique biotic assemblages create distinct interaction networks.
