Mapping Biochemical Pathways in Maytenus ilicifolia (Celastraceae) through Inte...
Santos,Vânia A. F. F. M.; Dias,Nathalia B.; Teixeira,Simone P.; Palma,Mario S.; Furlan,MaysaMaytenus ilicifolia (Celastraceae) is a medicinal plant that is native to southern Brazil and is popularly known as “espinheira-santa”. From a biosynthesis perspective, this species accumulates quinonemethide triterpenes and sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids as major secondary metabolites that exhibit interesting biological properties, with antitumoral and antiprotozoal activities, respectively, being the most f...
Biosystematics of the genus Dahlstedtia Malme (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae, Mil...
Teixeira,Simone P.; Ranga,Neusa T.Dahlstedtia has been considered a monotypic genus by some authors, but comprising two species according to others. The latter view was supported by our biosystematic study. The two species are Neotropical, mainly occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, where they are, however, allopatric. Experimental pollinations show that the two species are intersterile. After interspecificcrossings, few pollen tubes rea...
