PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were identified to study the genetic diversity, population genetic structure, and relationships of common sage and closely related species. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine novel polymorphic trinucleotide microsatellite loci were identified for Salvia officinalis. A total of 127 alleles were observed. The observed and expected heterozygosity values ranged f...

Freshwater and brackish species of bryozoans belong to the Phylactolaemata and Gymnolaemata class. Twelve species of bryozoans were recorded and morphologically determined at eight locations in the Black Sea and the Adriatic basin in Croatia. Twelve species of Bryozoa have been listed in the taxonomic index for Croatia (Conopeum seurati, Lophopus crystallinus Paludicella articulata, Cristatella...

Among the interesting studies published in this issue of the AABC that should be highlighted is the work on the primary and secondary thickening in the stem of a monocotyledon species by Marina B. Cattai and Nanuza L. de Menezes from the Instituto de Biociências of the Universidade de São Paulo. There is still great discussion over how this thickening occurs in this major group of flowering pla...

The genus Salacia (Celastraceae: Salaciodeae) in peninsular India is revised, wherein ten species are recognised. Eight endemic to the region. macrophylla and S. reticulata excluded from revision as occurrence of both doubtful mainland India. macrosperma exhibits great variation leaf shape, flower number, pedicel length fruit texture, hence morphologically similar beddomei vellaniana relegated ...

Micomeria fruticosa and Teucrium polium are Lamiaceae plants found throughout the Mediterranean, including Lebanon. Aerial parts of both were taken from a rocky mountain in Lebanon's Bekaa region alcoholic extraction chromatographic separation performed. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) was used to examine crude extracts A B, as well their fractions. The sp...
