In this study, , a new species of Rubiaceae from south-western China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to , but differs from the latter by having terete stems which are densely hirtellous, usually persistent ciliate stipules with well-developed colleters inside the base of the stipule, shorter corolla tubes and shorter stamens and styles.

Long-term cultured calli may experience a biosynthetic shift due to the IAA-dependent expression of the rolA gene, which also affects ROS metabolism. The "hairy root" syndrome is caused by the root-inducing Ri-plasmid of Rhizobium rhizogenes, also known as Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The Ri-plasmid contains genes known as rol genes or root oncogenic loci, which promote root development.

Background: Wild edible plants (WEPs) are neglected and have received little attention despite their significant contributions to the sustenance and livelihoods of rural communities. This study was conducted in the Kofale and Heban-Arsi districts of the Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia, to document the diversity, to assess the most preferred WEPs, their utilization, and threats they face.
Methods: The study was conducted in the Kofale and Heban-Arsi districts of the West Arsi Zone of the Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia.

Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on whether the extrafloral nectar from Inga edulis is a suitable resource for the predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus, which is crucial for controlling coffee pests.
- * Results showed that while A. herbicolus can survive and develop on the nectar, it requires a pollen diet for reproduction, indicating that Inga trees could support predatory mite populations and enhance biological pest control in coffee ecosystems.
