A Conservation Assessment and Phylogenomic Evaluation of Protection Status in the Tropical Genus Heliconia L. (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1438-1457, September 2025.
The primarily neotropical plant genus Heliconia has been cultivated commercially in gardens and nurseries for hundreds of years. Many of these same species are ecological keystones in their native habitats as important resources for herbivorous insects and pollinating hummingbirds, yet they face threats of habitat loss and degradation, competition with

Homeosis in the flowers of the Zingiberales [PDF]

, 1991
Homeosis has played an important role in the evolution of the flowers of the Zingiberales, especially those of the Ginger Group. In the Zingiberaceae, two members of the outer androecial whorl are replaced by a lip, and two members of the inner ...

A Group 6 LEA Protein Plays Key Roles in Tolerance to Water Deficit, and in Maintaining the Glassy State and Longevity of Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 6874-6896, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Plants have a wide range of adaptive and protective mechanisms to cope with dehydration. Central in these processes are the Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, whose levels notably increase in response to dehydration during seed development and vegetative tissues.

A Short‐Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.

Unraveling the Spiraling Radiation: A Phylogenomic Analysis of Neotropical Costus L

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The family of pantropical spiral gingers (Costaceae Nakai; c. 125 spp.) can be used as a model to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying Neotropical diversity. Costaceae has higher taxonomic diversity in South and Central America (c.

Revolutionizing Curcumin Extraction: New Insights From Non‐Conventional Methods—A Comparative Analysis of the Last Decade

Journal of Separation Science, Volume 48, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Curcumin (CCM), derived from Curcuma longa L. rhizomes, holds significant pharmaceutical and biotechnological potential, driving extensive scientific research. Beyond its potent biological properties, the extraction of CCM has attracted considerable attention. Although numerous review articles have explored CCM extraction, a gap remains in the
