“…Reproductive maturity in the plant is attained approximately 190 days after germination (Bebawi et al, 2015). Flowering takes place throughout the year, and pollination is carried out by insects, mostly bees and butterflies (Al Sulaibi et al, 2020;Batool et al, 2020). The inflorescence is dense and multiflowered umbellate cyme (3-15 flowers in a cluster; Figure 2), and the flowers are five-petaled, bisexual, sweetsmelling, and white in appearance with a characteristic purple tip (Al Sulaibi et al, 2020; Figure 2).…”

“…Fruiting is limited to the warm months of the year when pollinators are the most abundant (Menge et al, 2017a). The fruits are ellipsoid or ovoid, containing 350-500 seeds with tufts of white, silky hair or pappus (Al Sulaibi et al, 2020; Figure 3). Seeds are generally disseminated by wind and water and occasionally, by birds and animals (Al Sulaibi et al, 2020).…”

Seeds are generally disseminated by wind and water and occasionally, by birds and animals (Al Sulaibi et al, 2020). Seed longevity depends on several factors such as rainfall, soil moisture, seed burial depth, and soil type (Bebawi et al, 2015).…”

“…Calotropis procera is a multipurpose plant, which provides a wide range of provisioning ecosystem services. It has been widely used in traditional medicinal systems in North Africa, Middle East Asia, South Asia, and South-East Asia (Al Sulaibi et al, 2020). It has also been utilized for fiber, fuel, fodder, and timber purposes since antiquity (Batool et al, 2020).…”

Calotropis procera (Aiton) Dryand. (commonly known as the apple of sodom, calotrope, and giant milkweed) is an evergreen, perennial shrub of the family Apocynaceae, mainly found in arid and semi-arid regions. It is a multipurpose plant, which can be utilized for medicine, fodder, and fuel purposes, timber and fiber production, phytoremediation, and synthesis of nanoparticles. It has been widely used in traditional medicinal systems across North Africa, Middle East Asia, and South-East Asia. At present, it is being extensively explored for its potential pharmacological applications. Several reports also suggest its prospects in the food, textile, and paper industries. Besides, C. procera has also been acknowledged as an ornamental species. High pharmacological potential and socio-economic value have led to the pantropical introduction of the plant. Morpho-physiological adaptations and the ability to tolerate various abiotic stresses enabled its naturalization beyond the introduced areas. Now, it is recognized as an obnoxious environmental weed in several parts of the world. Its unnatural expansion has been witnessed in the regions of South America, the Caribbean Islands, Australia, the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, Seychelles, and several Pacific Islands. In Australia, nearly 3.7 million hectares of drier areas, including rangelands and Savannahs, have been invaded by the plant. In this review, multiple aspects of C. procera have been discussed including its general characteristics, current and potential uses, and invasive tendencies. The objectives of this review are a) to compile the information available in the literature on C. procera, to make it accessible for future research, b) to enlist together its potential applications being investigated in different fields, and c) to acknowledge C. procera as an emerging invasive species of arid and semi-arid regions.

We report the synthesis and optoelectronic properties of TIPS‐peri‐pentacenopentacene (TIPS‐PPP), a vertical extension of TIPS‐pentacene (TIPS‐PEN) and a low‐band‐gap material with remarkable stability. We found the synthetic conditions to avoid the competition between 1,2‐ and 1,4‐addition of lithium acetylide on the large aromatic dione. The high stability of TIPS‐PPP is due to the peri‐fusion which increases the aromaticity by generating two localized aromatic sextets that are flanked with 2 diene fragments, similar to two fused‐anthracenes. Like TIPS‐PEN, TIPS‐PPP shows the archetypal 2D brickwall motif in crystals with a larger transfer integral and smaller reorganization energy. The high mobility of up to 1 cm2 V−1 s−1 was obtained in an organic field‐effect transistor fabricated by a wet process. Also, TIPS‐PPP was used as a near‐infrared (NIR) emitter for NIR organic‐light‐emitting‐diode devices resulting in a high external quantum efficiency at 800 nm.
