Isoflavonoids and the related synthesis enzyme, chalcone isomerase 1 (CHI1), are unique in the Leguminosae, with diverse biological functions. Among the Leguminosae, the soybean is an important oil, protein crop, and model plant. In this study, we aimed to detect the generation pattern of Leguminosae CHI1. Genome-wide sequence analysis of CHI in 3 Leguminosae and 3 other closely related model p...

An ethnobotanical study was conducted in the Wechiau Community Hippopotamus Sanctuary area in Ghana, through interviews and quadrate studies, to investigate the range and abundance of species used in the treatment of malaria. Forty-one species belonging to 17 families were encountered during the study. Of the 17 families studied Leguminosae and Anacardiaceae predominated in terms of number of s...

Understanding the habitat preference of Stone Partridge (Ptilopachus petrosus) is a crucial step for its conservation and management across different ecosystems. This study was focused on environmental factors vegetation data species which were collected from 60 plots surveyed along 6 perpendiculars transects. Binary logistic regression used to determine relationship between variables. Phytoeco...

Pigeonpea, Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. (Leguminosae), was found hosting Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Paraná State, Brazil. In the laboratory, nymphs performed better on immature pods of soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill (Leguminosae), than on immature pods of pigeonpea. Although nymphs required similar time to complete development, and attained similar weights at ...

Afin de promouvoir la Médecine traditionnelle togolaise (MTT), préserver/conserver des savoirs et savoir-faire endogènes, une enquête ethnobotanique a été menée Mai 2018 à Juillet 2019 pour recenser les recettes plantes aux propriétés anti-infectieuses vendues dans marchés Région Sanitaire Lomé-Commune du Togo. ATRM(Achat en Triplet Recettes Médicinales) méthode collecte données. Les données re...

Variation in photosynthetic-nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE) is generally affected by several factors such as leaf nitrogen allocation and leaf diffusional conductances to CO2, although it is still unclear which factors significantly affect PNUE in tropical montane rain forest trees. In this study, comparison of PNUE, photosynthetic capacity, leaf nitrogen allocation, and diffusional conductances...

The response of soil properties to vegetation types is still not well understood and the relationship between vegetation types and soil properties has not been quantified in highland grasslands. A field experiment was conducted in highland grassland of the Loess Plateau in China to study the distribution of soil properties under different vegetation. 22 plant communities totaling 17 species tha...

this report is part of a national project for gathering and classifying the arthropod seed feeders in different provinces of iran between 2008–2014. in this paper, nineteen host species with their areas of distribution are presented for twelve species of seed beetles (chrysomelidae: bruchinae). most of the identified host plants (84%) belong to the family fabaceae (leguminosae). in addition, al...
