The sundew genus Drosera consists of carnivorous plants with active flypaper traps and includes nearly 150 species distributed mainly in Australia, Africa, and South America, with some Northern Hemisphere species. In addition to confused intrageneric classification of Drosera, the intergeneric relationships among the Drosera and two other genera in the Droseraceae with snap traps, Dionaea and A...

The Atlantic Forest is a phytogeographic domain with a high rate of endemism and large species diversity. The Sapotaceae is a botanical family for which species identification in the Atlantic Forest is difficult. An approach that facilitates species identification in the Sapotaceae is urgently needed because this family includes threatened species and valuable timber species. In this context, D...

Tree ferns recently were identified as the closest sister group to the hyperdiverse clade of ferns, the polypods. Although most of the 600 species of tree ferns are arborescent, the group encompasses a wide range of morphological variability, from diminutive members to the giant scaly tree ferns, Cyatheaceae. This well-known family comprises most of the tree fern diversity (∼500 species) and is...

This study proposes the use of genetic analysis as a complementary method for species identification in genus Pinus, particularly cases where anatomical is challenging. Pinus were grouped based on similarities, and efficacy using ycf1b, which most variable identification, rbcL, suggested DNA barcode land plants, was evaluated within each group. Sequences obtained from National Center Biotechnol...

Increasing water temperatures because of climate change resulted in population shifts and physiological responses aquatic environments. In this study, short-term high-temperature condition effects on green algae Chlorella vulgaris were investigated at transcriptional levels. The photosystem II D1 protein (psbA) gene, a large unit Rubisco (rbcL) gene chloroplastic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX) exp...

Pinus merkusii native Kerinci, also known as Sigi, shares the same taxonomic family Aceh but differs in morphology, anatomy, and physiology. Additionally, P.merkusii Kerinci has a high utilization potential its population is decreasing entry of around can result erosion original genetic source (germplasm). The molecular characteristics differences with will be studied using rbcL. Molecular char...

Ulva prolifera, a typical green-tide-forming alga, can accumulate a large biomass in a relatively short time period, suggesting that photosynthesis in this organism, particularly its carbon fixation pathway, must be very efficient. Green algae are known to generally perform C₃ photosynthesis, but recent metabolic labeling and genome sequencing data suggest that they may also perform C₄ photosyn...
