description: To seek agreement on evidence-based, family-centered, clinical considerations for Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) prescription and monitoring for young, ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. An online Delphi survey focusing on parent, clinician, and researcher perspectives on specific processes and outcomes concerning AFO prescription and monitoring practices was conducted over two rounds. Participants rated each survey item as critical, important but not critical, or less important. Items were included in Round 2 if >70% of participants in all three groups scored critical and <15% scored less important. A subgroup of survey respondents participated in a meeting to ratify the survey results. Twenty-two pediatric clinicians, seven researchers, and ten parents of young children with cerebral palsy participated in Round 1. Two clinicians and two parents dropped out in the second round. A total of 36 clinical considerations were deemed to be critically important for inclusion across contributor groups. The proposed clinical considerations for AFO prescription and monitoring that embeds the perspectives of families is a valuable contribution to clinical practice. They can be used by clinicians as a guide when prescribing and introducing AFOs to families of young, ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. This study proposes a set of clinical considerations to support clinicians with decision-making related to Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) prescription and monitoring for young, ambulatory children with cerebral palsy.This study highlights the importance of involving families and considering child function, family circumstances, and routines in decisions regarding their children’s AFO prescription and use.The resulting clinical considerations emphasize the importance of collaboration between clinicians and families to optimize AFO use.

description: Recent studies have explored the ecological relationship between native urban forests and self-sown non-native forests in large cities and metropolises but further research efforts dedicated to analyzing this relationship in small cities are still needed. To improve our understanding of the ecology of urban native and alien forests in Mediterranean small cities, we analyzed the woody species richness, the community-weight mean of moisture and nitrogen ecological indicators, and soil disturbance indicators in the main urban wood types of the city of Campobasso (Italy), as well as their spatial distribution pattern across a gradient of cover and aggregation of green areas. The study showed that both native oak forests and Robinia pseudoacacia forests contributed to the maintenance of woody species richness. If we exclude the riparian environment, R. pseudoacacia forests occupied small marginal patches, tolerating soil disturbance and a high disturbance frequency, thus occupying habitats where the native oak forests could not grow. Conversely, R. pseudoacacia forests shared the ecological niche with the native riparian forests, which calls for action to prevent the spread of this alien species along river banks. Our results highlighted that urban remnant forests should be considered important assets for the planning and upkeep of urban green areas.

description: Paspalum carajasense, an endemic and endangered annual grass found in the canga ecosystems of Serra dos Carajás, Brazil, lacks adequate propagation and conservation data. We assessed its germination and growth in various substrates to support conservation and mineland rehabilitation purposes. Seed germination tests involved soaking in water for 24 h and two KNO3 concentrations (2.5% and 5.0%). Seedlings were grown for 100 days on canga topsoil, mining waste substrate, and a commercial organic substrate. Mining substrates received 0%, 50%, and 100% of Carajás revegetation nutrients due to low fertility. Paspalum carajasense can be sexually propagated and pregermination treatments did not increase germination rates (14%). Seedlings were able to grow in all substrates and showed zero mortality. Plants in fertilized substrates showed similar growth to that on canga topsoil, with significant changes in root and leaf traits. In organic substrates, plants accumulated a larger amount of biomass and produced substantial amounts of seeds with higher germination rates, supporting the feasibility of ex situ cultivation. Therefore, our study provides essential information for the propagation and ex situ cultivation of a rare species of canga ecosystems and highlights the possibility of reconciling the conservation of P. carajasense with mineland rehabilitation.

description: The present study explored the impact of rolB gene transformation on biological activities of Nicotiana tabacum. PCR, and RT-qPCR were used to validate the integration of rolB gene and its expression. HPLC analysis was used for phytochemical profiling, and various in-vitro and in-vivo assays were used to assess pharmacological activities of wild-type and transgenic extracts using ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison method for data analysis. Our findings indicated increased total phenolic content (24.4 ± 0.2 mg GAE/g DW of extract) and total flavonoid content (58.8 ± 1.1 mg QE/g DW of extract) in transgenic plants. In case of antioxidant activities, an increase in reducing power (51.82 ± 0.4 AAE mg/g), and radical scavenging (IC50 188 ± 2.7 µg/mL) was observed. Similarly, transgenic lines exhibited DNA protection against damage caused by free radicals. Moreover, we detected significant antileishmanial potential (IC50 350.7 ± 8.3 µg/mL), butyrylcholinesterase (IC50 268.6 ± 4.7 µg/mL), and acetylcholinesterase inhibitions (IC50 421.6 ± 3.7 µg/mL) in transgenic plants. Similarly, compared with the non-transgenic plants, the rolB-transgenic plants showed increased analgesic (71.4%), anti-inflammatory activities (77.8%), and 35.6% decrease in depression compared to non-transgenic plants. The improved pharmacological activities in transgenic plants have been linked to the level of phytochemicals that increase the therapeutic and curative properties of N. tabacum plants.

description: A chemical, morphological, structural, optical, and histological analysis of the waxes of the Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora leaf surfaces was here conducted. The wettability of the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces was also examined in detail. The results obtained were correlated with the bioclimatic (thermopluviometric) characterization of this species, based on the wild occurrence of its parental species (C. aurea and C. pottsii). To get a better insight into the potential correlation existent between chemical/morphological/structural characteristics and thermopluviometric data, the data for Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora were subsequently contrasted with the corresponding body of information we reported earlier for seven species with different biogeographic distributions (Ceratonia siliqua L., Cercis siliquastrum L., Arundo donax L., Agapanthus africanus (L.) Hoffmann, Corymbia citriodora (Hook), Eucalyptus gunnii Hook. (Hook), and Eucalyptus globulus Labill). The results of this comparison highlight major correlations between the bioclimatic variability of the species and the chemical composition of waxes, but low or no apparent correlations with the other parameters examined. This conclusion strongly suggests the relevance of the chemical composition of leaf cuticle waxes in describing the response of vascular plants to the environmental matrix.

description: An accurate investigation is needed to determine if the selected location, the tree species, and the applied treatments can support a successful seedling establishment and outplanting performance to ensure the success of large-scale tree-planting initiatives. To shed light on the growth pattern of the trees used in the Green Belt Project plantations in the Mongolian steppe, we analysed the biomass allocation in the stem and roots of Ulmus pumila in terms of ring width, considering different management techniques involving irrigation and fertilisation. We found that the root and shoot ring width of U. pumila followed a bell-shaped curve and reached maximum values after three or four years from seedling outplanting. Moreover, our data confirm that increasing watering regimes may enhance plant growth, especially the root system, while fertilisation did not show a positive effect independently of the fertilisation type (i.e. NPK and compost). Our data allowed us to develop a predictive regression model that could be used with other species and in different environmental conditions to forecast stem and root tree growth and to simulate afforestation performances in different climatic conditions.

description: Interest in using native plant species for land reclamation and ecological restoration continues to increase. Yet sufficient knowledge of characteristics of native species for revegetation, specifically their response in field settings, continues to lag. Thus our study was conducted to determine whether the richness of native seed mixes impacted plant community development following reclamation in the Aspen Parkland ecoregion of Alberta, Canada. Four seed mixes were used: mix I with 6 grasses, mix II with 10 grasses, mix III with 6 grasses and 10 forbs, and mix IV with 10 grasses and 10 forbs. Each seed mix was designed with equal amounts of pure live seed for each species. After two growing seasons, seed mix richness generally had little or no effect on seeded species richness, individual seeded species, density, non-seeded species density, and ground cover, except for seeded forbs. Seed mixes II and III, with moderate species richness, provided the most benefit for developing species rich communities. Seeding with high species richness is more expensive, sometimes difficult to procure seed, and may not associate with communities of greater species richness, negating their need.

description: Climate change is a phenomenon that can affect all living organisms. To see its effect, many methods and techniques have been improved recently. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is the most popular technique for this. Here, the distribution of hornworts (Anthoceros caucasicus, Anthoceros punctatus, Phaeoceros laevis and Phymatoceros bulbiculosus), which are a group of non-vascular land plants native to Türkiye, was studied under changing climate using SDM. Three global climate models (GCMs) (CMCC-ESM2, HadGEM3-GC31-LL and MIROC6), two scenarios (SSP1-2.6 and 5-8.5) and four time periods (2021–2040, 2041–2060, 2061–2080 and 2081–2100) were considered. A total of 89 occurrence records of the hornwort species A. caucasicus, A. punctatus and P. laevis were considered for SDM. The potential distribution of P. bulbiculosus could not be modelled due to a lack of sufficient coordinates. Although the patterns between current and future distributions did not change significantly, there were notable differences in the distribution of modelled species in the SSP 5–8.5 scenario. In particular, the MIROC6 model showed an anomalous pattern for A. punctatus in the SSP 5–8.5 scenario. The SDMs indicate that the model will be a valuable resource for the conservation of these species at local and regional levels throughout Türkiye.

description: Mountain communities are often defined by their distinctive flora and fauna, and the way local people utilize these natural resources. Our study aims to document the indigenous knowledge of wild flora among the local people of three valleys in Northern Pakistan. The ethnobotanical study was conducted in July and August of 2019 and 2020 in 21 hill villages across Shamshal, Hopper, and Phandar valleys in Gilgit-Baltistan, Northern Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 90 key informants. We collected data on traditional knowledge of wild food plants (WFPs), wild medicinal plants (WMPs), and wild veterinary plants (WVPs) among three selected linguistic and religious groups scattered in different villages of the valleys. We documented 79 wild plant taxa belonging to 68 genera and 33 families utilized in the study area, among which, 50% were used as food, 43% were used for veterinary purposes, and 24% for medicinal applications. The data analysis revealed significant differences among the studied valleys and communities. The highest overlap was recorded between the Wakhi and Burushaski communities with a Jaccard Similarity Index (JI) value of 0.265, while the lowest was between the Burushaski and Khowar communities with a JI value of 0.238.

Comparing the holotype of D. angusta (Figs 6–8), as well as other specimens of this species, with a paratype of B. concisa (Figs 13–15), photograph of the holotype and original description of D. modesta (Figs 65–66), I was not able to find a reliable difference between these three nominal species. The size in specimens of Bebelis angusta is very variable. Although in general they are larger than in specimens of B. concisa, there are specimens with the same length. Accordingly, B. concisa and B. angusta are synonymized with B. modesta.
