With this contribution, an updated picture of the rapid expansion of Leucaena leucocephala subsp. glabrata in Sicily is provided. On the one hand, this is a quite worrying sign, as this woody species figures among the world’s worst invasive alien spe...

This study aimed to analyze the structure and density of non-glandular trichomes and the area of cocoa leaves, and the differences of xylem vessel structures on various shade tree composition. The leaf area and length, and trichomes were observed. Th...

Teak Tectona grandis Linn is still used as the main product in the form of wood, while other products, especially environmental services have not received much attention. This study analyzed biomass, carbon stocks and decomposition rate of leaf litte...

Although the effect of salinity on plants is well established, yet evaluating genetic variation in yield-related traits under salinity stress remains useful. This study was conducted to investigate the genetic variation within and between two subgrou...

Ultraviolet (UV) is a component of the solar radiation with a wavelength in the range of 100 ≤ λ ≤ 390 nm that is almost entirely shielded by the terrestrial atmosphere, but not in space. The effects of UV-C (100 ≤ λ ≤ 280 nm) on plants mainly depend...

Plant tissue culture has developed widely incorporated into biotechnology, the agricultural systems being a key factor to support many pharmaceutical and industrial outcomes. Since 1902 there is vast progress in plant culture and its application has...

The unicellular red alga Galdieria sulphuraria is a polyextremophilic organism with a metabolic flexibility to grow autotrophically or heterotrophically. Galdieria can also produce and accumulate biotechnologically attractive products such as pigment...
