BACKGROUND AND AIMS Seemannaralia appears to be fundamentally different from all other Araliaceae in the presence of a well-developed symplicate zone in its gynoecium, as well as in the ovule insertion in the symplicate zone (rather than in the cross-zone). The present investigation re-examined the floral structure of Seemannaralia with emphasis on the morphology and evolution of its gynoecium....

Silique shattering resistance is one of the most important agricultural traits in oil crop breeding. Seed shedding from siliques prior to and during harvest causes devastating losses in oilseed yield. Lignin biosynthesis in the silique walls is thought to affect silique-shattering resistance in oil crops. Here, we identified and characterized B. napus LATE FLOWERING (BnLATE), which encodes a Cy...

We assign a relational structure to any finite algebra in canonical way, using solution sets of equations, and we prove that this is polymorphism-homogeneous if only the itself polymorphism-homogeneous. show polymorphism-homogeneity also equivalent property algebraic (i.e., systems equations) are exactly those tuples closed under centralizer clone algebra. Furthermore, aforementioned properties...
