The Arabidopsis ovate family proteins (AtOFPs) have been shown to function as transcriptional repressors and regulate multiple aspects of plant growth and development. There are 31 genes that encode the full-length OVATE-domain containing proteins in the rice genome. In this study, the gene structure analysis revealed that OsOFPs are intron poor. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that OVATE prote...

Species of Smilax, also known as greenbrier, are widely distributed in Brazil and their commercial trades are carried out by the extractivism of native species. We the aim to provide information about the germination and development of seedlings in four Smilax species, different experiments were developed under controlled conditions. We evaluated two germination treatments: temperature (30 degr...

due to medical and dietary properties of the plantago major l. seed, it is necessary to know engineering properties in order to design post harvest equipments. engineering properties of plantago major l. seed was determined only at the moisture content of 7.98% dry basis, because of it produces mucilaginous components when it is soaked in water. the average of length, width, surface area, spher...

O sucesso do estabelecimento de uma muda é determinado predominantemente pelos fatores fisiológicos e constituição bioquímica das sementes da qualidade substrato utilizado no desenvolvimento plântula. objetivo foi avaliar a produção mudas tanchagem (Plantago major L.) sob diferentes substratos em sistema orgânico. experimento conduzido na área experimental horta Universidade Federal Acre, Rio B...

This article presents and describes Plantago humboldtiana, an extremely narrow endemic rheophytic new species from a waterfall in Corupá, Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil. The new species is unique in presenting a combination of type-G antrorse trichomes on scapes, pendulous inflorescences and 1-seeded pyxidia. Only one population is known to exist, despite intensive search efforts in near...
