The complete chloroplast genome of the endangered wild Musa itinerans (Zingiberales: Musaceae)

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2017
Musa itinerans (Zingiberales: Musaceae) is one of the most important wild banana species occurred in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia. Here we first report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. itinerans using next-generation sequencing technology. The complete chloroplast genome of M. itinerans is 168,985 bp long, containing

Molecular phylogenetics of Maranta (Marantaceae: Zingiberales): non-monophyly and support for a wider circumscription

Botanical journal of the Linnean Society, 2023
Neotropical Maranta has repeatedly emerged as non-monophyletic in molecular phylogenetic studies, but no taxonomic changes have been proposed due to previous weak support for the main clades and overall sparse taxonomic sampling.

Zingiberales Extract ZE: A Locally Sourced Natural Compound as Gas Hydrate Inhibitor

Day 2 Tue, August 03, 2021, 2021
Gas hydrates are impediments to flow of gas and oil and its avoidance and mitigation is key to oil and gas operators. Mitigation via chemical controls is more suitable for marine environments.

Zingiberales

2016
Discussion, Zingiberales feeders Several Zingiberaceae- and Costaceae-feeders show a distinctive feature of the pupa, i.e. the C-shaped rim to the T1 spiracle. This has been found in species of Semalea, Xanthodisca, Hypoleucis and Caenides reported here, and can also be seen in the palm-feeding Caenides dacela (Cock et al. 2014).

The leaf flavonoids of the Zingiberales

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1977
A survey of flavonoids in the leaves of 81 species of the Zingiberales showed that, while most of the major classes of flavonoid are represented in the order, only two families, the Zingiberaceae and Marantaceae are rich in these constituents. In the Musaceae (in 9 species), Strelitziaceae (in 8 species) and Cannaceae (1 of 2 species) flavonol ...

Phylogenetic Relationships and Evolution in the Strelitziaceae (Zingiberales)

Systematic Botany, 2012
Abstract Evolutionary trends and phylogenetic relationships in the Strelitziaceae (Zingiberales) were investigated using sequence data from ten plastid and two nuclear regions and a morphological dataset. The status of species of Strelitzia were evaluated in terms of the phylogenetic species concept. Relationships among the genera remain equivocal with

Molecular systematics of the genus Musa L. (Zingiberales: Musaceae) in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Biologia, 2020
In the present study, we have re-visited Musa taxonomy based on morphological and molecular data. DNA sequence data (ITS, trnL-F) and population assessment reveal that Musa balbisiana var.

The impact of host biogeography, ecology, evolutionary history, and architecture on the structure of rolled‐leaf beetle assemblages of Costa Rican Zingiberales

Biotropica
Determining the factors affecting the structure of insect herbivore communities is a major challenge in ecology. Previous research demonstrated that plant defenses determine plant‐herbivore associations.
