The compatibility of mycorrhizal fungi with the early growth stage orchids is essential for their growth. In this study, and promotion effects 14 Tulasnella strains from different hosts were studied by co-culturing them protocorms Dendrobium crepidatum, which has high ornamental economic value in China. ITS–LSU–SSU–TEF combined sequence analysis divided into three clades belonging to calospora ...

Sibipiruna (Caesalpinia peltophoroides Benth) is a tree of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is a flowering ornamental tree widely planted throughout Brazil and indicated for restoration of degraded areas.

A set of points in the plane induces a Voronoi diagram, a division of the plane based on proximity to points in the set. Voronoi diagrams have been used extensively in engineering and scientific disciplines, but the possibility of using them for creating abstract ornamental designs is largely unexplored. I present some techniques for creating attractive ornamental designs using Voronoi diagrams...
