Alstroemeriaceae exhibits species with large genomes, not attributed to polyploidy. In this study, we analysed the repetitive fraction of the genome of Bomarea edulis through low-coverage sequencing and in silico characterization, and compared it to the repeats of Alstroemeria longistaminea, a species from a sister genus that has been previously characterized. LTR-retrotransposons were identified as the most abundant elements in the B. edulis genome (50.22%), with significant variations in abundance for specific lineages between the two species. The expansion of the B. edulis genome was likely due to three main lineages of LTR retrotransposons, Ty3/gypsy Tekay and Retand and Ty1/copia SIRE, all represented by truncated elements which were probably active in the past. Furthermore, the proportion of satDNA (~ 7%) was six times higher in B. edulis compared to A. longistaminea, with most families exhibiting a dispersed, uniform distribution in the genome. SatDNAs, thus, contributed to some extent to genome obesity. Despite diverging around 29 Mya, both species still share some satDNA families and retrotransposons. However, differences in repeat abundances and sequence variants led to genome differentiation despite their similar sizes and structure.</p>","PeriodicalId":20731,"journal":{"name":"Protoplasma","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143067523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Epidemiological data suggests that individuals with DM are more susceptible to certain cancers. This study examined the bioactive properties of Hypericum scabrum extracts, including methanol, hexane, and others, focusing on their inhibitory effects on key enzymes associated with DM and neurodegenerative diseases, such as acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase. Additionally, the impact of these extracts on human fibroblast (HDFa) and glioblastoma (U87MG) cancer cells was evaluated. The methanol extract was analyzed for elemental composition using ICP-MS, secondary metabolites, and amino acids via LC-MS/MS and underwent morphological and anatomical characterization. The methanol extract demonstrated notable inhibitory activity, with an IC₅₀ value of < 1 µg/mL against α-glucosidase, surpassing acarbose in efficacy. The flower essential oil exhibited the highest inhibition (79.95%) of butyrylcholinesterase and the strongest acetylcholinesterase inhibition (21.62%). Elemental analysis revealed high concentrations of Na and K, while quinic acid and proline were identified as major metabolites, with proline concentrations reaching 494.0482 nmol/mL in the aerial part extract. The anticancer assays revealed higher cytotoxicity in U87MG glioblastoma cells compared to HDFa fibroblasts, suggesting potential applications for cancer therapy. The plant grows 20-50 cm tall, with yellow flowers and ovoid-ribbed capsules containing brown, reniform seeds. Its leaves are amphistomatic and ornamented, while stems feature striate cuticles and paracytic stomata. The pollen grains are microreticulate with syncolporate apertures.

Taking leads from the findings, we postulated that naringenin to apigenin pathway is one potential route for WDL biosynthesis. Moreover, wound stress led to accumulation of DW and WDL and related biosynthetic transcripts.

Current work studies morphological, histochemical and ultrastructural features of two types of GTs arising on floral elements in three Doronicum species. The straight GTs there are on all elements of the inflorescence (peduncle, phyllaries, ray and disk florets); they have a short stalk and do not have a clearly visible head. The capitate GTs are located only on the inflorescence peduncle and phyllaries; the trichomes form a long stalk and a distinct head. The chemical composition of the secretion is confirmed by histochemical reactions. Both types of GTs have the specific ultrastructural features and secretory mechanisms. In capitate GTs, a smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the main organelle of cytoplasm and takes part in a synthesis of the phenolic substances. Phenols accumulate in the numerous small vacuoles and thick cell wall. In straight trichomes, leucoplasts of various shapes with plastoglobuli and peripheral reticulum predominate. Terpenes synthesized in leucoplasts are stored in the subcuticular cavity and are released when the cavity ruptures.

In this study, the ontogeny of canals and secretory cavities in two species of Asteraceae are described and compared, to understand the structural differences between them and allow the establishment of more appropriate homology hypotheses. Leaves of Bidens odorata and Tagetes tenuifolia in different stages of development, including the apex of the stems, were collected. The samples were processed using the methacrylate technique, and longitudinal and transverse sections were made. The development of both, canals and secretory cavities, is schizogenous, in contrast to what was previously reported for other families such as Rutaceae, where they are reported as lysigenous. In Asteraceae, canals originate from cells of the procambium while cavities originate from cells of the ground meristem. The structural and developmental similarities between both types of secretory structures allow us to infer that they have a close evolutionary origin. Canals and secretory cavities in Asteraceae can be differentiated based on the number of strata of secretory epithelium and sheath, the modifications of epidermal cells and mesophyll, and the type of promeristem that gives rise to them.
