Natural history of the hyperdominant tree, Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) Kuntze, in the Amazon River estuary.

Braz J Biol

January 2025

Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia - INPA, Programa de Pós-graduação em Ecologia - PPGEco, Manaus, AM, Brasil.

Pentaclethra macroloba is a hyperdominant species with multiple uses in the Amazon. This species tolerates varying flood amplitudes, however the effect of flood topographic gradient on its ecophysiology remains unclear. We want to know if individuals from the high (10 trees) and low (20 trees) várzea show distinct phenological patterns as a function of the flood gradient, as well as their colonization strategies and their seed predators.

The highly valued oil of Mill. (Rosaceae), widely used in high perfumery, cosmetics, and other spheres of human life, obliges us to know and study the safety profile of the product obtained from the water-steam distillation of fresh rose petals. The genotoxicity of the essential oil (EsO) has not been thoroughly studied despite its wide range of applications.

(Goodeniaceae) is an important evergreen coastal plant on islands in the South China Sea, which shows excellent tolerance for salty and drought conditions. Nevertheless, the growth of populations on these islands in the South China Sea has been threatened by a few serious insect pests. However, we know little about the biology of these pests.

The use of lactic acid bacteria for developing functional foods is increasing for their ability to synthesize beneficial metabolites such as vitamin B (riboflavin, RF) and postbiotic compounds. Here, the spontaneous mutant FS54 B2 was isolated by treatment of the dextran-producing FS54 strain with roseoflavin. FS54 B2 overproduced RF (4.

Carbon Dynamics Under Drought and Recovery in Grapevine's Leaves.

Plant Cell Environ

January 2025

Soil, Water, and Environmental Sciences, Volcani - Agricultural Research Organization, Ramat Yishai, Israel.

Drought stress reduces leaf net assimilation (A) and phloem export, but the equilibrium between the two is unknown. Consequently, the leaf carbon balance and the primary use of the leaf nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) under water deficit are unclear. Also, we do not know how quickly leaves can replenish their NSC storage and resume export after rehydration.
