Effects of low nitrogen supply on biochemical and physiological parameters related to nitrate and water, involving nitrate transporters and aquaporins in Citrus macrophylla

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 25, Issue 6, Page 944-955, October 2023., 2023
Reduction of nitrogen fertilization in Citrus sp. impacts physiology, revealing a new relationship between aquaporins, nitrate transporters, and growth of new leaves as a mechanism for ensuring growth. Abstract A reduction in chemical N‐based fertillizer was investigated in Citrus plants.

Acid waters in tank bromeliads: Causes and potential consequences

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise The consequences of acidity for plant performance are profound, yet the prevalence and causes of low pH in bromeliad tank water are unknown despite its functional relevance to key members of many neotropical plant communities. Methods We investigated tank water pH for eight bromeliad species in the field and for the widely occurring ...

AngleCam: Predicting the temporal variation of leaf angle distributions from image series with deep learning

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, Page 2531-2545, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Vertical leaf angles and their variation through time are directly related to several ecophysiological processes and properties. However, there is no efficient method for tracking leaf angles of plant canopies under field conditions. Here, we present AngleCam, a deep learning‐based approach to predict leaf angle distributions from horizontal ...

An organ‐specific transcriptomic atlas of the medicinal plant Bletilla striata: Protein‐coding genes, microRNAs, and regulatory networks

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 2, June 2022., 2022
Abstract As one of the important species belonging to the Bletilla genus of Orchidaceae, Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Rchb. f., possesses both ornamental and medicinal values. Its dried tubers are used as a traditional Chinese medicine, and several secondary metabolites have been indicated to be the active ingredients.

Long‐term community dynamics in vascular epiphytes on Annona glabra along the shoreline of Barro Colorado Island, Panama

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 1931-1946, April 2021., 2021
We analysed data from three censuses of epiphytes growing on Annona glabra trees along the shore of Barro Colorado Island, Panama, spanning 21 years. Our study shows that previously reported short‐term patterns of epiphyte community dynamics hold true in the long term.

Climate influences the response of community functional traits to local conditions in bromeliad invertebrate communities

open access: yesEcography, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 440-452, March 2021., 2021
Functional traits determine an organism's performance in a given environment and as such determine which organisms will be found where. Species respond to local conditions, but also to larger scale gradients, such as climate. Trait ecology links these responses of species to community composition and species distributions.

Fertility of Vriesea gigantea Gaud. (Bromeliaceae) in southern Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 2007
Plant fertility is a central subject of many questions in plant evolutionary and conservation biology. Pollen availability, abiotic resources, and flowering pattern can limit fruit and seed production. Open pollination and pollen supplementation studies are used to estimate any pollen limitation in natural populations.

Different processes shape the patterns of divergence in the nuclear and chloroplast genomes of a relict tree species in East Asia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 10, Page 4331-4342, May 2020., 2020
We infer that different markers reflecting divergent processes may owe to the heredity and ploidy difference of genomes, while divergent extent of significant patterns in northern and southern regions may owe to different population history between regions.

Biogeography and conservation status of the pineapple family (Bromeliaceae)

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 183-195, February 2020., 2020
Abstract Aim To provide distribution information and preliminary conservation assessments for all species of the pineapple family (Bromeliaceae), one of the most diverse and ecologically important plant groups of the American tropics—a global biodiversity hotspot.
