Polysporangiate anthers described in Eugenia (Myrtaceae) with notes on evolutionary patterns.
Shifts towards compartmentalisation resulting in multilocular anthers have been described in some families of Myrtales but to date, not in Myrtaceae. In these other families sporogeneous tissue is partitioned by transverse or longitudinal septa, fitting the definition of the ‘polysporangiate anther’. Polysporangiate anther in Eugenia, a Neotropical genus of Myrtaceae... -

One sixth of Amazonian tree diversity is dependent on river floodplains.
Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and how this may differ from surrounding forest types is still far too limited, particularly as changing inundation regimes begin to reshape floodplain... -

Gundelia tournefortii L. (Akkoub): a review of a valuable wild vegetable from Eastern Mediterranean.
L. (Asteraceae) is an artichoke-like wild edible vegetable that grows in the semi-arid climate of the East Mediterranean. Due to its high cultural and economic values for culinary and therapeutic uses, this plant is exposed to overharvesting driven by household consumption and trade, threatening the survival of natural populations. Some...Hani, N. ; Abulaila, K. ; Howes, M.-J. R. ; Mattana, E. ; Bacci, S. …
