TL;DR: In this article, an organometallic complex of nickel has been isolated from nickel-accumulating plants of New Caledonia and has been identified by a combination of infrared spectroscopy, highvoltage paper electrophoresis, gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.
178 citations
TL;DR: A strong correlation has been found between the levels of nickel and citric acid in the leaves of 17 New Caledonian plant species which show a range of nickel-accumulating ability, and purified extracts of these plants contain nickel as a citrate complex.

TL;DR: Though the section is markedly heterogeneous, the Malagasy species appear to form a natural group and a new revisionary treatment of these species is presented and an identification key is provided.
Abstract: Applequist, W.L. (2016). A revision of the Malagasy Species of Homalium Sect. Eumyriantheia Warb. (Salicaceae). Candollea 71: 33–60. In English, English and French abstracts. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.15553/c2016v711a7 Homalium sect. Eumyriantheia Warb. (Salicaceae) is the largest and most widespread fasciculate-stamened section of Homalium Jacq. Though the section is markedly heterogeneous, the Malagasy species appear to form a natural group. A new revisionary treatment of these species is presented and an identification key is provided.Fifteen species are recognized, of which five, i.e. Homalium dorrii Appleq., Homalium pseudoboinense Appleq., Homalium randrianasoloi Appleq., Homalium ranomafanicum Appleq., and Homalium schatzii Appleq., are newly described. Occasional hybridization is observed. Most species are endangered.

TL;DR: Antimicrobial activities against reference Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and Candida albicans were tested on 191 plant extracts obtained from more than 30 families of plants found in the state of Sabah, Malaysia.
Abstract: Antimicrobial activities against reference Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria and Candida albicans were tested on 191 plant extracts obtained from more than 30 families of plants found in the state of Sabah, Malaysia. The plant extracts were tested by a disk-diffusion technique in which antimicrobial activity was evaluated based on the ability of the plant extracts to diffuse through agar to affect the target organisms. The extracts of Callicarpa erioclona Schau. (Verbenaceae), Callicarpa farinosa Roxb. (Verbenaceae), Sphonodesma friflora Wright (Verbenaceae), and Homalium panayanum F. Villar (Flacourticeae) exhibited antimicrobial properties worthy of further investigation.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to target Ni-binding ligands through correlation analysis of the metabolite levels and leaf Ni concentration and data show that Ni ions can be bound by a range of small molecules in Ni hyperaccumulation in plants.
