In Vitro Germination and Propagation of Dyckia brevifolia, An Ornamental and Endangered Bromeliad

Konstantinos Bertsouklis et al.

Summary: This study aimed to establish a micropropagation protocol for the endangered plant Dyckia brevifolia. By investigating the germination of seeds and the effects of different cytokinin concentrations on seedlings, the researchers successfully achieved large-scale propagation of this species.

Lymania involucrata (Bromeliaceae: Bromelioideae), a new ornamental species from Bahia, Brazil

Everton Hilo De Souza et al.

Summary: The authors discuss a new ornamental species Lymania involucrata from the Atlantic Forest in Bahia, Brazil, which is considered critically endangered. This species is morphologically related to L. brachycaulis but differs in several key characteristics. They also provide a distribution map and taxonomic comments on the species.

Inter-morph pollen flow and reproductive success in a self-compatible species with stigma-height dimorphism: the influence of herkogamy and reciprocity

S. Ganguly et al.

Summary: In Jasminum malabaricum, the long-styled morph had higher total pollen load while the short-styled morph had a higher inter-morph pollen fraction, but fruit set did not differ between morphs. Higher herkogamy and reciprocity may lead to increased inter-morph pollen deposition and reproductive success. Population-specific patterns suggest that local environmental factors determine the relative functional importance of herkogamy and reciprocity.

Decoding the molecular mechanism of parthenocarpy in Musa spp. through protein-protein interaction network

Suthanthiram Backiyarani et al.

Summary: In this study, 12 candidate genes potentially involved in natural parthenocarpy were identified through protein-protein interaction network analysis. A putative pathway involving cytokinin and gibberellin signaling was proposed to contribute to the understanding of natural parthenocarpy.

Genome Skimming Reveals Widespread Hybridization in a Neotropical Flowering Plant Radiation

Oriane Loiseau et al.

Summary: This study investigates hybridization in the hyperdiverse Bromeliaceae genus Vriesea, revealing evidence of hybridization in approximately 11% of species, which may contribute to the rapid diversification of Vriesea and potentially other genera in Tillandsioideae. Further genomic research is needed to fully understand the role of hybridization in the evolution of tropical plant diversity.

Post-seminal development and cryopreservation of endemic or endangered bromeliads

Simone S. S. Silva et al.

Summary: This study aimed to protect the genetic diversity of three unique or endangered bromeliad species in Brazil through seed cryopreservation and post-seminal development research, to develop relevant conservation strategies. The results showed that Brazilian Vriesea bahiana can be successfully cryopreserved, while the seeds of the other two species do not require desiccation before cryopreservation.
