The asymmetric flower, lacking any plane of symmetry, is rare among angiosperms. Canna indica L. has conspicuously asymmetric flowers resulting from the presence of a half-fertile stamen, while the other androecial members develop as petaloid staminodes ...

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.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the Canna edulis Ker Gawl. (Cannaceae)
Canna edulis Ker Gawl. is an essential traditional tuber crop used for fresh consumption and to isolate starch in some tropical and semitropical regions. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. edulis has been determined in this study.

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

ABSTRACTThe evolution of floral morphology in the monocot order Zingiberales shows a trend in which androecial whorl organs are progressively modified into variously conspicuous “petaloid” structures with differing degrees of fertility. Petaloidy of androecial members results from extensive laminarization of an otherwise radially symmetric structure ...

Evolution of petaloidy in the zingiberales: An assessment of the relationship between ultrastructure and gene expression patterns [PDF]
Background: The development of petal‐like organs has occurred repetitively throughout angiosperm evolution. Despite homoplasy, it is possible that common underlying molecular mechanisms are repeatedly recruited to drive the development of petaloid organs.

Moult is an essential part of birds' annual cycle, and requires sufficient intake of energy and nutrients, but we understand little about how such nutritional requirements are met by wild birds. Using faecal metabarcoding, we analysed the diet of moulting and non‐moulting Common Bulbuls Pycnonotus barbatus, captured in Cameroon.
