Aratitiyopea lopezii is a robust perennial species of Xyridaceae from seasonally saturated, midto high-elevation, sandstone and granite sites in northern South America. The species lacks the scapose inflorescence characteristic of Xyridaceae and, having the gestalt of a rhizomatous bromeliad, it is seemingly aberrant in the family. However, closer examination confirms features consistent with t...

From the flowers of meadowsweet and inflorescence of hawthorn the whole set of phenolic acids and flavonoids was analysed by TLC. Phenolic compounds were determined both as free ones and those liberated by hydrolysis. Moreover, ethyl ether and ethyl acetate extracts obtained from the analysed plants before and after alkaline and enzymatic hydrolyses were evaporated under reduced pressure and re...

The paper presents the results of studying variability morphological traits generative shoot Matthiola caspica (Busch) Grossh. in Piedmont Dagestan. material for study was life processes M. three cenopopulations: Buynaksky (Talgi, 270), Suleiman-Stalsky (Kasumkent, 410 m) and Tabasaransky (Maraga, 520 areas. greatest contribution to differentiation cenopopulations by individual components dispe...

Naturally established individuals of Plantago lanceolata with the inflorescence disease caused by Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinans had more inflorescences and were more likely to be male-sterile than healthy plants. Half-sib families planted in the field varied in the percentage of diseased plants, the number of inflorescences per plant, the incidence of male-sterility, and the pattern of...

We recently described the glucosinolate transporters GTR1 and GTR2 as actively contributing to the establishment of tissue-specific distribution of the defense compounds glucosinolates in vegetative Arabidopsis plants. Upon bolting and thereby development of the inflorescence and initiation of seed setting, the spatial distribution of glucosinolates does undergo major changes. Here we investiga...

the genus eremostachys (lamiaceae), consists of about 60 species which 15 species of eremostachys grow wildly in the north-west of iran. the rhizomes and roots of e. laciniata have traditionally been used as a local analgesic and for the treatment of rheumatic diseases and pain in the feet. this experiment was conducted in the north-west of iran in 2012-2013, to evaluate morphological diversity...

Abstract Flower shape is a key trait of ornamental and commercial importance in breeding programs for chrysanthemum ( Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.). Understanding the genetic basis phenotypic variation seen inflorescence-related traits will contribute to improvement development new varieties. In this study, we investigated determinants inflorescence using an F 1 segregating population derive...
