Beyond 4 × 4: Paramotoring a novel approach to accelerate plant exploration in challenging environments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 87-104, January 2025.
Addressing the burning environmental crisis, we explore how the ‘extreme sport’ of paramotoring can enhance and accelerate scientific exploration with minimal environmental impact compared to off‐road vehicles. Our study demonstrates the scientific potential of paramotoring to access fragile desert ecosystems and investigate unrecorded habitats and ...

The Diverse Iron Distribution in Eudicotyledoneae Seeds: From Arabidopsis to Quinoa

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Seeds accumulate iron during embryo maturation stages of embryogenesis. Using Arabidopsis thaliana as model plant, it has been described that mature embryos accumulate iron within a specific cell layer, the endodermis.

Approaches to Control and Monitor Protease Levels in Chronic Wounds

Advanced Therapeutics, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2024.
To control protease activity, researchers have employed strategies such as introducing groups with negative charges to cellulosic dressings for better interaction with positively charged protease, inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by chelating metal ion cofactors, silencing MMPs gens via small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that ...

Evidence for Emergence of Sex-Determining Gene(s) in a Centromeric Region in Vasconcellea parviflora [PDF]

Genetics, 2014
Abstract Sex chromosomes have been studied in many plant and animal species. However, few species are suitable as models to study the evolutionary histories of sex chromosomes. We previously demonstrated that papaya (Carica papaya) (2n = 2x = 18), a fruit tree in the family Caricaceae, contains recently emerged but cytologically ...

Effectiveness of interventions to enhance healing of chronic foot ulcers in diabetes: A systematic review

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Background It is critical that interventions used to enhance the healing of chronic foot ulcers in diabetes are backed by high‐quality evidence and cost‐effectiveness. In previous years, the systematic review accompanying guidelines published by the International Working Group of the Diabetic Foot performed 4‐yearly updates of previous ...

Lonesome plants: How isolation affects seed set of a threatened dioecious shrub

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
Plant reproductive failure is a critical concern for conserving species that typically have low‐density and sparse populations. This study confirms that Vasconcellea chilensis is dioecious and obligate outcrosser. Significant spatial clustering was observed in female and male plants, and a significant spatial attraction between the sexes.

Healing of diabetic foot ulcer with topical and oral administrations of herbal products: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

International Wound Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract This systematic review aimed to qualitatively synthesize recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the effect of topical application and oral intake of herbal products on the healing of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Also, we sought to pool the obtained findings in a meta‐analysis using a random‐effects model, if RCTs were relatively ...

Microsatellite markers in Carica papaya L. : isolation, characterization and transferability to Vasconcellea species

, 2006
A dinucleotide microsatellite-enriched genomic library was obtained from Carica papaya L. Sixty-nine microsatellites were evaluated on three genotypes of C. papaya and seven species of the neighbour genus Vasconcellea.
