C4 photosynthesis involves alterations to leaf development, cell biology and biochemistry.
Different lineages of C4 plants use varying mechanisms to generate the C4 pathway …

Many hepatoprotective herbal preparations have been recommended in alternative systems
of medicine for the treatment of hepatic disorders. No systematic study has been done on …

The occurrence of nonfunctional trn F pseudogenes has been rarely described in flowering
plants. However, we describe the first large-scale supernetwork for the Brassiccaeae built …

C4 photosynthesis presents a sophisticated integration of two complementary cell types,
mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. It relies on the differential expression of the genes …

The Resedaceae, containing 6 genera and ca. 85 species, are widely distributed in the Old
World, with a major center of species diversity in the Mediterranean basin. Phylogenetic …

C4 photosynthesis has evolved many times in 18 different families of land plants with great
variation in leaf anatomy, ranging from various forms of Kranz anatomy to C4 photosynthesis …

New combinations are made for 10 taxa previously included in the genus Cleome L. sl
These are now considered to belong in the genera Cleoserrata Iltis, which is newly …

Seven species of the genus Cleome were analysed for formation of exudate flavonoids. The
majority of structures found were polymethoxyflavonols with 6-and/or 8-O-substitution. A …
