The partial hypogenous nature of fruit bodies in soil present challenges for sample collection and studying species distribution. In this study, we developed a PCR-based approach for identifying .
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSaline lands pose significant environmental and agricultural challenges due to high soil salinity, which disrupts water uptake and ionic balances, limiting conventional crop productivity. Yet, certain endemic plants thrive under these conditions and may offer untapped bioactive compounds. This study proposes a novel platform that integrates species distribution modeling (SDM) and advanced metabolomics to screen for bioactive secondary metabolites, using , a rare native species, as a case study.

However, insect damage to the leaves can lead to significant loss of leaf harvest. Despite this, there remains considerable uncertainty regarding how herbivory attack affects the chemical composition of kratom's leaf metabolome.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFis described as a new genus of Malvaceae, currently known only from a few locations in the upper part of Tenasserim in northern and peninsular Thailand. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses, based on plastid DNA sequence regions, support the recognition of this new genus within the Brownlowioideae (Malvaceae). Its distinct phylogenetic position, along with a distinct set of morphological and palynological characteristics, strongly support the recognition of as a new genus.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFMicroscopic animals are often thought to be widely distributed due to their small size and specific adaptations. However, evidences show that bdelloid rotifers in bryophytes exhibit habitat specialization, with species composition varying by microhabitat. This indicates that their distribution is influenced by complex ecological processes, warranting further research, particularly at the microscale.
