A five-year-old girl was presented to the emergency clinic of our hospital with epiphora, purulent discharge, eyelid swelling, and a foreign body feeling in her right eye. The symptoms had...

Long-day exposure of the grass Lolium temulentum may regulate flowering via changes in gibberellin (GA) levels. Therefore, we have examined both GA levels and expression of a MYB transcription factor that is specific to the GA signal transduction pathway in monocots. This MYB gene from L. temulentum shows over 90% nucleotide identity with the barley and rice GAMYB genes, and, like them, gibbere...

Heterogeneity in root-zone temperature both vertically and horizontally may contribute to the uneven vegetative and reproductive growth often observed across vineyards. An experiment was designed to assess whether the warmed half of a grapevine root zone could compensate for the cooled half in terms of vegetative growth and reproductive development. We divided the root system of potted Shiraz g...

The contribution regulated unregulated factors to overall variability a trait can be determined using two-factor analysis variance used this work. ...

Typha lepechinii, a new species from European Russia, is described. In terms of the external morphology, it similar to T. shuttleworthii but differs latter by shape female inflorescence, wider leaf blades and geographical distribution. Like shuttleworthii, lepechinii clearly distinct all other cattails sect. Ebracteolatae due its short male inflorescence that 2–4 times shorter than contiguous i...
