Predicting the potential threat of Casuarina equisetifolia to three endemic plant species on the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Invasive species are one of the main threats to the loss of global biodiversity. Controlling such species requires a high input of effort and resources and therefore it is important to focus control on areas that will maximize gains for conservation. We present a spatial modelling approach that will help... -

Phylogenetic placement and reappraisal of Diorygma karnatakense including the new synonym, Diorygma dandeliense, from Maharashtra, India.
This study re-examined the status of species of Eshw. known from the Western Ghats using an integrative taxonomy approach that includes morphological and chemical data, as well as multigene phylogenetic analyses. Prior to this work, the two species and were distinguished primarily on lirellae morphology (branching pattern) and the number... -

Seed dormancy concepts in orchids: Dendrobium cruentum as a model species.
Generally, orchids produce dust-like seeds in which endosperm reduction and embryo undifferentiation represent a derived state shared with species in about 11 other plant families. Orchid seeds are proposed to have a special kind of morphological or morphophysiological dormancy. We test this proposition, overcoming several design limitations of earlier studies,...Prasongsom, Sasikarn ; Thammasiri, Kanchit ; Pritchard, Hugh W.

(Epi)genetic control of secondary seed dormancy depth and germination in Capsella bursa-pastoris.
Despite the importance of secondary dormancy for plant life cycle timing and survival, there is insufficient knowledge about the (epigenetic) regulation of this trait at the molecular level. Our aim was to determine the role of (epi)genetic processes in the regulation of secondary seed dormancy using natural genotypes of the... -

Piloting development of species conservation action plans in Guinea.
Conservation action plans need to be devised and implemented if we are to reduce the extinction risk faced by globally threatened plants. However, most plant species categorized as threatened globally on the IUCN Red List lack conservation action plans. In West Africa, Guinea is one of the most diverse countries...
