MALDI-MS Imaging of Urushiols in Poison Ivy Stem [PDF]

Molecules, 2017
Urushiols are the allergenic components of Toxicodendron radicans (poison ivy) as well as other Toxicodendron species. They are alk-(en)-yl catechol derivatives with a 15- or 17-carbon side chain having different degrees of unsaturation. Although several

Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) leaf shape variability: Why plant avoidance‐by‐identification recommendations likely do not substantially reduce poison ivy rash incidence

Plants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement Avoidance of poison ivy plants is currently the primary approach to prevent the estimated 30–50 million annual poison ivy skin rash cases. The “leaves of three let it be” mnemonic device lacks specificity to differentiate poison

Seeing plants as never before

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 1775-1794, June 2023., 2023
Summary Imaging has long supported our ability to understand the inner life of plants, their development, and response to a dynamic environment. While optical microscopy remains the core tool for imaging, a suite of novel technologies is now beginning to make a significant contribution to visualize plant metabolism.
