1. Root morphology and kinetics of Zn absorption by roots of common bean influenced by Zn status of the root environment
ABSTRACT Understanding the kinetics of Zn absorption by roots and its effect on morphology of this organ is relevant for improving crop management, but still poorly studied for common beans. Therefore, an experiment was conducted in a hydroponic system with five initial concentrations of Zn (CZnI): 0.0; 1.0; 4.0; 16.0 and 48.0 µmol L-1. The experiment was i

2. The aquatic species Pontederia azurea and P. crassipes (Pontederiaceae) in the Pantanal, Brazil: evidence of how plant structure can simultaneously reflect phylogeny and ecology
ABSTRACT Hydric fluctuations in the Pantanal comprise annual dry and wet seasons that modify local diversity and plant morphology and anatomy. Widespread in this wetland are the sympatric Pontederia azurea and P. crassipes, which, although primarily aquatic, can also develop in non-flooded environments. This study undertook a comparative investigation of the

3. Different scales determine the occurrence of aquatic macrophyte species in a tropical stream
ABSTRACT Distributions of aquatic macrophyte species are commonly associated with water chemistry characteristics. However, other environmental factors that can lead to the occurrence of aquatic plants in lotic ecosystems, such as dynamic habitats linked to the surrounding landscape, have been underestimated. This study aims to evaluate landscape features th

4. Leaf area estimation with nondestructive method in cassava
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to create a single mathematical equation able to estimate the leaf area of different cassava cultivars from one lineal dimension without destroying any plant tissue. Two hundred leaves per cultivar from ten cultivars were used to calibrate the model and more than one hundred leaves per cultivar were used to test its p

5. Variation in root morphology of epiphytic orchids along small-scale and large-scale moisture gradients
ABSTRACT Root morphology is expected to respond to environmental conditions. Two earlier studies reported predictable changes in the structure of the velamen radicum (common in monocotyledons) along rainfall gradients, which was expected from its assumed role in plant-water-relations. The present study expanded on this idea by analysing nine root traits that

6. Revisiting hydropotes of Nymphaeaceae: ultrastructural features associated with glandular functions
ABSTRACT Hydropotes are specialized epidermal structures involved in water and mineral flux into and out of the plant body. We analyzed hydropote morphology of four species of Nymphaeaceae: Nymphaea caerulea, Nymphaea lotus, Nymphaea rubra, and Victoria amazonica. Leaf samples were processed following conventional techniques for plant anatomy and for scannin

7. Scientific novel: Araucaria angustifolia branch may be converted into orthotropic trunk by grafting
ABSTRACT Grafting technique has been presented as an alternative for Araucaria angustifolia propagation. However, vegetative rescuing mature trees and obtaining large numbers of propagules is difficult, because the use of branch grafts has not been indicated due to its plagiotropic and morphogenic characteristic, generally resulting in undesired growth of th

8. White sand vegetation in an Amazonian lowland under the perspective of a young geological history
Abstract: What controls the formation of patchy substrates of white sand vegetation in the Amazonian lowlands is still unclear. This research integrated the geological history and plant inventories of a white sand vegetation patch confined to one large fan-shaped sandy substrate of northern Amazonia, which is related to a megafan environment. We examined flo

9. Dominant yeasts associated to mango (Mangifera indica) and rose apple (Syzygium malaccense) fruit pulps investigated by culture-based methods
Abstract: The biotechnological potential of yeasts associated to different habitats in Colombia has been poorly studied, especially the yeasts associated with different plant structures. Fruit pulps are interesting substrates mainly for the growth of yeast species, that can positively affect the productivity and quality of some bioeconomic species. Therefore

10. Surface morphology and repellency mechanism investigation of Salvinia molesta plant
ABSTRACT Bionics is a versatile tool with a technological potential, which designers use to search for signs and clues about functional elements and mechanisms in nature that allow for the development of products. The purpose of this study was to analyze the morphology of the aquatic plant Salvinia molesta, aiming to determine the water repellency of its lea

11. Investigation of Mode of Action of Anti Bacterial Activity of Salacia Oblonga Extract Against Drug Resistant Pathogen
Abstract Salacia oblonga Wall belonging to family Celastraceae contains vital phytoconstituents and has been used since long for the treatment of diabetes, inflammation and burn wounds. S. oblonga ethyl acetate root extract was evaluated for antibacterial activity towards drug resistant pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella

12. Powdered coconut water (ACP 406®) as an alternative base culture medium for in vitro culture of goat preantral follicles enclosed in ovarian tissue
Abstract This study evaluated a powdered coconut water solution (ACP 406®) as a base culture medium on the in vitro survival and development of in situ goat preantral follicles. The ovarian fragments were either immediately fixed in Carnoy solution (non-cultured control) or individually cultured for 2 or 6 days. The following culture media (all containing 1
