alkaloids (PAs) by leaf beetles of the genus Platyphora were investigated. Tracer experiments with labeled alkaloids were performed with P. eucosma feeding on Koanophyllon panamense (Asteraceae, tribe Eupatorieae). P. eucosma catalyzes the same reactions previously demonstrated for P. boucardi specialized to Prestonia portobellensis (Apocynaceae): (i) epimerization of rinderine to intermedine; ...

The life cycle of flowering plants alternates between two heteromorphic generations: a diploid sporophytic generation and a haploid gametophytic generation. During the development of the plant reproductive lineages – the germlines – typically, single sporophytic (somatic) cells in the flower become committed to undergo meiosis.

These chemical improvements are particularly dramatic and well-described for the Sudbury, Ontario, Canada region including the lakes in Killarney Park (2, 3). From lakes in the Sudbury region there is also considerable evidence of natural recovery...
