Abstract In The Lily in the Field and Bird of Air (1849), Kierkegaard presents a succinct critique Romantic aesthetics, line with contemporary critiques ecocriticism ecophilosophy, e.g. by Timothy Morton . Whereas poets see nature as mirror their inner thoughts pathos, thereby divinising themselves creativity, emphasises authority Creator exteriority nature. He identifies consequences such self...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The genus Fritillaria (Liliaceae) comprises species with extremely large genomes (1C = 30 000-127 000 Mb) and a bicontinental distribution. Most North American species (subgenus Liliorhiza) differ from Eurasian Fritillaria species by their distinct phylogenetic position and increased amounts of heterochromatin. This study examined the contribution of major repetitive element...

Four sterilants–bactericides (Physan-20, Fixed Copper, Phyton27, and Virkon) were compared as preplanting dips of Zantedeschia elliottiana Engl. W. Wats ‘Yellow’ (a susceptible cultivar) rhizomes to reduce plant losses due to latent fieldinfected Erwinia carotovora soft rot during greenhouse forcing as a flowering potted plant. All sterilant solutions were prepared in combination with Promalin,...

For three Asiatic hybrid lily cultivars (‘Bright Beauty’, ‘Fashion’, ‘Orlito’) the potential postharvest performance of floral buds in terms of growth, anthesis and longevity was studied in relation to tepal carbohydrate status. To determine the importance of carbohydrate redistribution within lily inflorescences, the postharvest performance of several attached and detached buds was compared at...

Mites of the genus Rhizoglyphus (Acari: Acaridae) are serious pests plants belonging to orders Liliales and Asparagales such as onions, garlic, lilies, tulips. Their control by synthetic pesticides is becoming problematic a result resistance development in these mites environmental health issues. New pest methods thus need be developed. This review provides an overview studies related bulb mite...

In contrast to Sciamma’s Bande de filles/Girlhood (2014), little scholarly attention has been accorded space in Naissance des pieuvres/Water Lilies (2007). Featuring quiet neighbourhoods the Parisian suburb of Cergy, Naissance's backdrop is unassuming. However, its association with consumerism, capitalism and French state a rich hitherto underexploited topic for analysis. Considering town’s rel...

The molecular era has fundamentally reshaped our knowledge of the evolution and diversification of angiosperms. One outstanding question is the phylogenetic placement of Amborella trichopoda Baill., commonly thought to represent the first lineage of extant angiosperms. Here, we leverage publicly available data and provide a broad coalescent-based species tree estimation of 45 seed plants. By in...

Crop replanting leads to soil degradation and productivity reduction, which is a challenge for sustainable agricultural development. We previously found that silicon fertilizers combined with additional microbial agents are an effective means alleviate problems occur in variety of Chinese lily during replanting, but little known about the changes structure this process. In present study, we app...
