Urticaceae542 as a novel probe set combining universal and lineage-specific loci for phylogenomics of Urticaceae [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Hybridization-based target enrichment sequencing (Hyb-Seq) is a powerful approach for phylogenomic studies of non-model organisms, particularly those with complex genomes or from degraded materials such as herbarium specimens.

Composition and Diversity Characteristics of Gut Microbiota during the Development of <i>Telchinia issoria</i> (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a traditional economic crop of high commercial value, whose cultivation is threatened by the leaf‐feeding pest Telchinia issoria. This study investigated how the gut microbiota of T. issoria shifts across its larval, pupal, and adult stages using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. ABSTRACT Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) was a traditional

Biology and Management of Pilea microphylla (Artillery Weed) in Ornamental Crop Production

EDIS, 2016
This 5-page fact sheet describes the biology and management of Pilea microphylla, or artillery weed, for ornamental crop production. Artillery weed occurs primarily in moist, disturbed areas and is thought to be native to South America and parts of ...

Morphological diversity of glandular trichomes in Urticalean Rosids

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022
Glandular trichomes are epidermal structures that produce, store and release a variety of chemical compounds. Their high morphological diversity allows their taxonomic use at various levels. Therefore, their description and standardization of terminology

Ancestral State Reconstruction Reveals Rampant Homoplasy of Diagnostic Morphological Characters in Urticaceae, Conflicting with Current Classification Schemes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Urticaceae is a family with more than 2000 species, which contains remarkable morphological diversity. It has undergone many taxonomic reorganizations, and is currently the subject of further systematic studies.

Neural networks for increased accuracy of allergenic pollen monitoring

Scientific Reports, 2021
Monitoring of airborne pollen concentrations provides an important source of information for the globally increasing number of hay fever patients. Airborne pollen is traditionally counted under the microscope, but with the latest developments in image ...

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Climate‐driven niche filtering limits post‐dispersal establishment and genomic introgression in a riverine shrub

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrated biogeographic analysis and macroecological insights reveal that habitat differences drive genetic differentiation Debregeasia orientalis C. J. Chen, a dominant riparian shrub distributed across multiple biodiversity hotspots, and different lineages vary greatly in adaptability to future climate.

Diel net CO2 exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low‐level CAM photosynthesis

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.
