Fungal endophytes are beneficial microbes that confer an added advantage to plants by colonizing their intercellular spaces without causing any harm. Instead, they produce secondary metabolites play a considerable role in improving the medicinal qualities and protection of host plants. There several reports on fungal isolated from different but no report yet Blighia sapida Euphorbia heterophylla. These two were found growing Unilorin Sugarcane plantation as weeds. Leaf samples collected...
The search for a potent anti-coronavirus therapy severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type-2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains an overwhelming task since the outbreak of COVID-19. It is more evident that most existing antiviral and immune-boosting drugs are non-promising ineffective treatment infected patients while safety few drugs/vaccines have demonstrated high potential unclear. With daily records confirmed infectious cases across world, it crucial to emphasize need repurposed therapies with...
Abstract Species of Rheum have high medicinal value, with the center diversity in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) and adjacent regions. However, phylogenetic relationships are still unclear due to fragment markers providing insufficient informative loci. Here, we sequenced annotated plastomes nine species, compared genome structure among novel species along three published species. Comparative analyses revealed that share a relatively conserved structure. Five highly divergent regions ( accD ,...
The arboreal ecosystem is vitally important to global and local biogeochemical processes, the maintenance of biodiversity in natural systems, human health urban environments. ability collect samples, observations, data conduct meaningful scientific research similarly vital. primary methods modes access remain limited difficult. In an online survey, canopy researchers ( n = 219) reported a range challenges obtaining adequate including ∼10% who found it impossible procure what they needed....
Understanding how species adapt to extreme environments is an extension of the main goals evolutionary biology. While alpine plants are ideal system for investigating genetic basis high-altitude adaptation, genomic resources in these still limited. In present study, we generated reference-level transcriptomic data five Saussurea through high-throughput sequencing and de novo assembly. Three them located highland Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), other two close relatives distributed lowland. A...
Abstract In the Galápagos Islands, much attention has been devoted to radiation of iconic species like Darwin’s finches, yet Islands offer an overlooked but equally remarkable opportunity for investigating plant radiations. Using a combination genomic and phenotypic data, we present evidence early stages in prickly pear cactus (Opuntia), lineage widespread across archipelago. We show that despite extensive ecophenotypic variation, there is limited differentiation, consistent with hypothesis...
Climate change will have various impacts on the survival and development of species, it is important to explore whether plants can adapt future climate conditions. Dipteronia dyeriana an endangered species with a narrow distribution in Yunnan, characterized by small population size. However, studies its current impact are very limited. In this study, (2050 2090) potential habitats under SSP1-2.6, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5 scenarios were predicted using both maximum entropy (MaxEnt) random forest...
Polygonaceae has a complex taxonomic history, although few studies using plastid or nuclear DNA fragments have explored relationships within this family, intrafamilial remain controversial. Here, we newly sequenced and annotated 17 plastomes representing 12 genera Polygonaceae. Combined with previously published data, total of 49 22/46 16/20 Polygonoideae were collected to infer the phylogeny Polygonaceae, an emphasis on Polygonoideae. Plastome comparisons revealed high conservation in...
Understanding how species have adapted and responded to past climate provides insights into the present geographical distribution may improve predictions of biotic communities will respond future change. Therefore, estimating potentially suitable habitats is essential for conserving sensitive such as Garuga forrestii W.W.Sm., a tree endemic China. The potential climatic zones G. were modelled in MaxEnt software using 24 geographic points nine environmental variables current (2050 2070)...
Species adaptation and their response to the warming climate offer understanding into present geographical distribution may assist in improving predictions regarding expected future change. As a result, assessing potentially suitable habitats is key for conserving important vulnerable species such as Perkinsiodendron macgregorii, rare tree of high ornamental value distributed only subtropical forests China. In this study, 101 sampling points China 11 climatic variables were selected imported...
Mushrooms, as part of the fungal kingdom, are essential components in nutrient cycling and carbon retention terrestrial ecosystems. Monitoring impact climate change on fungi their natural habitat is difficult because most species reside below soil surface. As a result few reported occurrence records Nigeria, we model distribution two edible mushrooms, namely, Pleurotus ostreatus Macrolepiota procera, using MaxEnt to predict potential future range shifts under different scenarios. In this...
Curcuma longa L. (commonly known as Tumeric) is the only species of genus found in Nigeria. It great economic importance to Nigeria, Africa, Asia, and other parts world, where it widely used for ornamental medicinal purposes, spices food beverages. However, phylogenetic placement turmeric plant (C. longa) Nigeria far from being fully resolved, hence need this study. The rhizomes were collected at Forestry Research Institute Ibadan, Oyo state. Genomic DNA was extracted, followed by...
Jatropha curcas is an important crop grown in the plantations of University Ilorin for research and commercialization. J. has been reported to have high tolerance stress, pests diseases. Different parts are utilised various uses both domestically medicinally, thus, this study was carried out unravel dominant endophytic fungi associated with green leaves said plantation. The were isolated characterized using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region ribosomal DNA. Green collected processed...
Abstract The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) encompasses areas with a remarkably high degree of biodiversity, harboring exceptional species-rich radiations. How these radiations formed by interacting geology, climate and ecology remains seldom examined. We investigate the roles abiotic (environmental) biotic (species-intrinsic) factors in driving radiating diversification Saussurea (Asteraceae) deploying number time-dependent, paleoenvironment-dependent trait-dependent models, as well ecological...
<title>Abstract</title> Global climate change is among the major anthropogenic factors impacting species distribution, with significant conservation implications. Yet, little known about effects of warming on distributional shifts East Asian species. In current study, we used maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) to determine present and possible future habitats for five <italic>Meehania</italic> occurring in region. Our objectives were evaluate how would influence species' habitat under scenarios...
Over the years, several microorganisms have developed antibiotic resistance, rendering them impotent and otherwise useless. This research work is intended at exemplifying consortium of crude extracts Nauclea latifolia Ocimum gratissium for antimicrobial potentials. Nanoparticles made from were equated to activities. Plant nanoparticles created by combining powdered plant materials with copper oxide suspending in ethanol distilled water, which then screened achieve (CuO). The presence...
SUMMARY The Galápagos Islands are a prime example of natural laboratory for the study evolutionary radiations. While much attention has been devoted to iconic species like Darwin’s finches 1–4 , islands offer an equally unique but often overlooked opportunity plant radiations 5 . Yet, compared their animal counterparts, our understanding patterns and processes underpinning remains relatively limited 6,7 We present evidence early stages radiation in prickly-pear cactus ( Opuntia Cactaceae),...
