Plastome sequences fail to resolve shallow level relationships within the rapidly radiated genus Isodon (Lamiaceae).
As one of the largest genera of Lamiaceae and of great medicinal importance, is also phylogenetically and taxonomically recalcitrant largely ascribed to its recent rapid radiation in the Hengduan Mountains. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies using limited loci have only successfully resolved the backbone topology of the genus, but the interspecific...Chen, Ya-Ping ; Zhao, Fei ; Paton, Alan J. ; Sunojkumar, Purayidathkandy ; Gao, Lian-Ming …

Seed-coat thickness explains contrasting germination responses to smoke and heat in Leucadendron.
Fire stimulates the germination of most seeds in fire-prone vegetation. Fruits of (Proteaceae) are winged achenes or nutlets that correlate with their requirements for smoke and/or heat in promoting germination. We describe five possible smoke–heat dormancy-release/germination syndromes among plants, of which displays three (no response, smoke only, smoke and heat).... -

13-amino derivatives of dehydrocostus lactone display greatly enhanced selective toxicity against breast cancer cells and improved binding energies to protein kinases in silico.
The biological activities of dehydrocostus lactone and its analogues are suggested to be mediated by the lactone ring and , -methylene- -lactone. However, few studies exist on the structure-activity relationship of 13-amino derivatives of dehydrocostus latone. In this study new 13-amino derivatives of dehydrocostus lactone ( ) were synthesized through...Kemboi, Douglas ; Langat, Moses K. ; Siwe-Noundou, Xavier ; Tshiwawa, Tendamudzimu ; Krause, Rui W. M. …

Stimulatory and inhibitory effects of light on Cereus repandus (Cactaceae) seed germination are strongly dependent on spectral quality.
In small seeds, light often promotes germination and longer-term exposure to darkness reduces light sensitivity. In cacti inhabiting harsh environments, a rapid response to light exposure is potentially advantageous for seedling establishment. We exposed dark-imbibed seeds of the cactus to doses of red (RED) light and far-red (FR) light. The...Yang, X-Y. ; Pritchard, Hugh W.

What Do the First 597 Global Fungal Red List Assessments Tell Us about the Threat Status of Fungi?
Fungal species are not immune to the threats facing animals and plants and are thus also prone to extinction. Yet, until 2015, fungi were nearly absent on the IUCN Red List. Recent efforts to identify fungal species under threat have significantly increased the number of published fungal assessments. The 597...Mueller, Gregory M. ; Cunha, Kelmer Martins ; May, Tom W. ; Allen, Jessica L. ; Westrip, James R. S. …

Telipogon crisariasae (Orchidaceae) a new species from northen Ecuador.
Telipogon crisariasae, discovered in northern Ecuador, is described as a new species. Telipogon crisariasae is similar to T. octavioi but differs by its larger inflorescences and flowers, the rhomboid petals, the cordiform pink callus, and the sub-trapeziform stigmatic cavity. Illustrations and pictures of the new entity are provided. Furthermore, diagnostic...Baquero R., Luis E. ; Iturrralde, Gabriel A. ; Martel, Carlos

A Comprehensive Phylogenomic Platform for Exploring the Angiosperm Tree of Life.
The tree of life is the fundamental biological roadmap for navigating the evolution and properties of life on Earth, and yet remains largely unknown. Even angiosperms (flowering plants) are fraught with data gaps, despite their critical role in sustaining terrestrial life. Today, high-throughput sequencing promises to significantly deepen our understanding... -

Paternal low protein diet perturbs inter-generational metabolic homeostasis in a tissue-specific manner in mice.
The underlying mechanisms driving paternally-programmed metabolic disease in offspring remain poorly defined. We fed male C57BL/6 mice either a control normal protein diet (NPD; 18% protein) or an isocaloric low protein diet (LPD; 9% protein) for a minimum of 8 weeks. Using artificial insemination, in combination with vasectomised male mating,...Morgan, Hannah L. ; Furse, Samuel ; Dias, Irundika H. K. ; Shabir, Kiran ; Castellanos, Marcos …

Genomic insights into rapid speciation within the world’s largest tree genus Syzygium.
Species radiations, despite immense phenotypic variation, can be difficult to resolve phylogenetically when genetic change poorly matches the rapidity of diversification. Genomic potential furnished by palaeopolyploidy, and relative roles for adaptation, random drift and hybridisation in the apportionment of genetic variation, remain poorly understood factors. Here, we study these aspects...Low, Yee Wen ; Rajaraman, Sitaram ; Tomlin, Crystal M. ; Ahmad, Joffre Ali ; Ardi, Wisnu H. …
