Size regulation blossoms in Kobe.

چکیده
Coincident with the blossoming of the sakura was the 14th annual CDB Symposium hosted by the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan. This year's meeting, 'Size in Development: Growth, Shape and Allometry' focused on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying differences in size and shape and how they have evolved. On display was the power of using diverse approaches ranging from the study of organoids to whole organisms.

The evolution of floral gigantism.
Flowers exhibit tremendous variation in size (>1000-fold), ranging from less than a millimeter to nearly a meter in diameter. Numerous studies have established the importance of increased floral size in species that exhibit relatively normal-sized flowers, but few studies have examined the evolution of floral size increase in species with extremely large flowers or flower-like inflorescences (c...
متن کاملDirect selection at the blossom level on floral reward by pollinators in a natural population of Dalechampia schottii: full-disclosure honesty?
• Both floral rewards and advertisements can be important in the attraction of pollinators, but few studies have separated the individual contributions of rewards and advertisements to fitness. • Here, we investigated selection by pollinators on individual blossoms in Dalechampia schottii. This Neotropical vine, endemic to the Yucatán Peninsula, rewards bees by secreting fully visible, deep-blu...

In this study, 6 bacterial strains were applied using two different inoculation techniques. The first application method was throughout soaking the roots of seedlings in the b...
متن کاملSignal honesty and cost of pollinator rewards in Dalechampia scandens (Euphorbiaceae).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Most species of Dalechampia vines (Euphorbiaceae) attract bee pollinators with terpenoid resins secreted by a gland-like structure in the inflorescence. In some species, pollinating bees appear to preferentially visit inflorescences (blossoms) with large resin-producing glands, whereas in other species bees preferentially visit blossoms with large involucral bracts. In this ...
متن کاملSpanning Trees with Many Leaves in Graphs without Diamonds and Blossoms
It is known that graphs on n vertices with minimum degree at least 3 have spanning trees with at least n/4 + 2 leaves and that this can be improved to (n + 4)/3 for cubic graphs without the diamond K4 − e as a subgraph. We generalize the second result by proving that every graph with minimum degree at least 3, without diamonds and certain subgraphs called blossoms, has a spanning tree with at l...
