The Meliaceae family mainly consists of trees and shrubs with a pantropical distribution. In this study, the complete chloroplast genomes of four Meliaceae species were sequenced and compared with each other and with the previously published Azadirachta indica plastome. The five plastomes are circular and exhibit a quadripartite structure with high conservation of gene content and order. They i...

This review described the physiological and biochemical effects of various secondary metabolites from Meliaceae against major Lepidopteran insect pest including, Noctuidae and Pyralidae. The biochemical effect of major Meliaceae secondary metabolites were discussed more in this review. Several enzymes based on food materials have critical roles in nutritional indices (food utilization) of the i...

The genera Ptaeroxylon and Cedrelopsis have been grouped together by Styles and Pennington into the Ptaeroxylaceae family due to similarity in their morphology and structure of the secondary xylem. The monospeci"c genus Ptaeroxylon had previously been placed in the Sapindaceae, the Rutaceae, and most popularly, in the Meliaceae families. The pollen of Cedrelopsis and Ptaeroxylon are very simila...

O remanescente florestal localizado em Santa Fé abrange uma extensa área geográfica: são 692 hectares. Os estudos realizados nessa imprescindíveis tanto para a Biologia quanto Geografia, consideradas aqui, ciências correlatas. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar os parâmetros fitossociológicos, florísticos e fitogeográficos de um da Floresta Estacional Semidecidual, ...

In recent years, an undescribed species of Unaspis MacGillivray (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae) has become a damaging pest on the fruit crop Lansium domesticum Corrêa (family Meliaceae) in the Philippines.
