Detecting Introgressed Populations in the Iberian Endemic Centaurea podospermifolia through Genome Size.
Based on results from previous studies, populations of the Iberian endemic Centaurea podospermifolia north of the Ebro River are considered genetically pure, while those southward are introgressed, with genetic input from C. cephalariifolia. This phenomenon is particularly relevant, especially given both the endangered and protected status for the species, which... -

Validating South Sudan as a Center of Origin for Coffea arabica: Implications for Conservation and Coffee Crop Improvement.
Cultivated Arabica coffee outside Ethiopia is plagued by low genetic diversity, compromising disease resistance, climate resiliency and sensory potential. Access to the wider genetic diversity of this species may circumvent some of these problems. In addition to Ethiopia, South Sudan has been postulated as a center of origin for Arabica... -

Frailejones en peligro.
Los frailejones (subtribu Espeletiinae, familia Asteraceae) son posiblemente las más importantes y carismáticas plantas del ecosistema de páramo. Con 90 especies reconocidas, 78 de las cuales son endémicas, Colombia tiene un papel fundamental en su conservación. La mayoría de las especies de frailejones tienen distribuciones restringidas a uno o unos...Diazgranados, Mauricio ; Castellanos Castro, Carolina

A revision of the genus Ruagea (Meliaceae: Melioideae).
The neotropical genus H.Karst. is revised. Fifteen species are recognised, including three T.D.Penn., T.D.Penn. and T.D.Penn. which are described as new to science. A key to the species is presented, along with information on the morphology, distribution, ecology, conservation assessments, local names, uses and field characters. All species are mapped...Pennington, Terence D. ; Barker, Amy ; Rojas-Andres, Blanca M.
