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...

Immature inflorescence with outer spathe length of 5.5 cm size collected from West Coast Tall cultivar coconut was used as the explant and rachillae bits were inoculated in Y3 media supplemented 2, 4-D (1 mg L-1). The cultures incubated dark for eight months sub-cultured into same at monthly interval. white shoot like outgrowths formed sub cultured to ½ MS fortified 1 L-1 each NAA BAP subsequen...

BACKGROUND Proanthocyanidins belong to a class of polyphenolic compounds called flavonoids and have been reported to exhibit important biological activities. The immature inflorescence of Cocos nucifera L. is used by Ayurvedic and traditional medical practitioners for the treatment of menorrhagia in Sri Lanka. Our studies have shown that the inflorescence of Cocos nucifera L. predominantly cont...

†Background Most angiosperms present flowers in inflorescences, which play roles in reproduction, primarily related to pollination, beyond those served by individual flowers alone. An inflorescence’s overall reproductive contribution depends primarily on the three-dimensional arrangement of the floral canopy and its dynamics during its flowering period. These features depend in turn on characte...
