Massaria species are well-known in temperate regions in contrast to tropical regions. Taxonomy and phylogeny of two new Massaria species are carried out in this study as a part of our major research interests in microfungal diversity and distribution in Asia. In 2018-2019, we collected two fungal...

During our ongoing studies of fungal diversity on leaf litter, two exciting species were collected from Thailand. Morphological examination coupled with phylogenetic analyses revealed that our species belongs to Paramicrothyrium and Tumidispora in Microthyriaceae. Maximum likelihood, maximum...

Two bacterial strains, designated as 1-4-3^T and 1-4-4, were isolated from a mangrove sediment cultured with coastal seawater. The cells were Gram-stain-negative, motile, short, rod-shaped bacteria with flagella. Growth occurred at 4-37°C, pH 7.0-9.0, and 0-7% NaCl. The predominant fatty acids of...

Qiongyin No.8 jackfruit is a superior variety bred from the native offspring in Thailand. Due to its high yield, good quality and early maturity, it was introduced into Hainan in 2012. In 2014, it began to blossom and bear fruit, and the buds were grafted and propagated. From 2015 to 2020, the main ...

Artabotrys R. Br. is one of the larger genera of Annonaceae with over 100 species distributed throughout the palaeotropics plus northern Australia. Although the genus is morphologically very well circumscribed, species delimitation is quite problematic owing to overlapping morphological...

Large-scale abandoned agricultural areas in Southeast Asia resulted in patches of forests of multiple successions and characteristics, challenging the study of their responses to environmental changes, especially under climatic water stress. Here, we investigated seasonal variation in leaf water...

A taxonomic revision of Flemingia subg. Rhynchosioides based on morphology and molecular information (matK and ITS) is presented. The subgenus comprises six herbaceous taxa (F. gracilis, F. mukerjeeana, F. nilgheriensis, F. rollae, F. tuberosa and F. vestita). All species except F. vestita are...

The impact of drought conditions on the water relations of rubber trees is important because the trees could shed leaves while they are being continuously tapped. The aim of this work was to study the effect of soil drought and the tapping of latex on the water relations of rubber trees. This study ...

Toxocarpus incarnatus A. Kidyoo, newly described here, is a twining climber growing in disturbed evergreen forest in western Thailand. A diagnosis and detailed description of this new species, as well as photographs are provided. Several characters of T. incarnatus are compared with those of T....

Clerodendrum peninsulare, a species restricted to upper peninsular Thailand, is described and illustrated as new to science. It has long pendulous inflorescences with white flowers similar to those of C. angustipetalum, C. nutans and C. umbratile which are also found in peninsular Thailand, but it...
