Cytogenetic studies on Brazilian Xyris species (Xyridaceae) [PDF]

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002
Cytological features are presented for the first time for 12 species and one natural hybrid from 16 Brazilian populations of the genus Xyris, including members of two sections (Xyris and Nematopus). The results are compared with a review of all available chromosome numbers previously reported for the genus.

Reference wet grasslands to support conservation and restoration assessments in the Brazilian Savanna

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Grassy wetlands of the Cerrado provide key ecosystem services but remain largely overlooked and are rapidly disappearing, threatened by land use change and climate‐driven changes in hydrological cycles. As restoration initiatives are urgent, reference ecosystems and robust indicators are essential to guide conservation and ...

Floral ontogeny and vasculature in Xyridaceae, with particular reference to staminodes and stylar appendages

, 2017
We provide a detailed comparative study of floral ontogeny and vasculature in Xyridaceae, including Xyris, Abolboda and Orectanthe. We evaluate these data in the context of a recent well-resolved phylogenetic analysis of Poales to compare floral ...

Utility of DNA barcoding to identify rare endemic vascular plant species in Trinidad

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 18, Page 7311-7333, September 2017., 2017
DNA barcoding can be a useful tool to quickly and accurately identify species and has the potential to prompt the discovery of new species. In this study, the utility of DNA barcoding to confirm the identities of 14 endangered endemic vascular plant species in Trinidad, at least to the genus level, was assessed based on three approved barcodes (matK ...

Beyond Habitat: How Anuran Skin Texture Shapes Plant Dispersal in Neotropical Wetlands

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Dispersal is a key process structuring wetland plant communities, yet epizoochory by amphibians remains a little‐known mechanism of passive plant dispersal. This study evaluated the potential role of Neotropical anurans as vectors of plant propagules through external adhesion in coastal wetlands.

[Retracted] Phytoliths as Emerging Taxonomic Tools for Identification of Plants: An Overview

Journal of Botany, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
In the recent advancements in identification of plant species, phytoliths have found an immense role in the identification of plants at different levels of taxonomic hierarchy. Many plant groups are known to accumulate silica in solid form in and between the cells and tissues and hence create the structures commonly known as phytoliths.

Genome Size Dynamics and Evolution in Monocots

Journal of Botany, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Monocot genomic diversity includes striking variation at many levels. This paper compares various genomic characters (e.g., range of chromosome numbers and ploidy levels, occurrence of endopolyploidy, GC content, chromosome packaging and organization, genome size) between monocots and the remaining angiosperms to discern just how distinctive monocot ...

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...
