Cereal Chem. 85(3):276–282 Rice quality can vary inexplicably from one lot to another and from year to year. One cause could be the variable temperatures experienced during the nighttime hours of rice kernel development. During the fall of 2004, a controlled temperature study was conducted using large growth chambers, testing nighttime temperatures of 18, 22, 26, and 30°C from 12 a.m. until 5 a...

(2012), http://dx.doi.org/1 Swamps, peatlands, and other wetland ecosystems can store vast amounts of carbon in organicallyderived peat soils. Wildfires during severe droughts can produce smoldering combustion in these soils, releasing large quantities of carbon to the atmosphere and causing dramatic changes at the local ...

Vegetation analysis in ten central Florida cypress (Taxodium distichurn) swamps was undertaken to determ•ne the response of woody species composition to clearcutting. Line transects hrough swamps that had been harvested by clearcutting within the last 5 years demonstrated that all but one of these swamps are likely to recover their original species composition and a normal stem density. Cypress...

To identify genetic diversity, genetic structure and the relationship among accessions, and further establish a core collection for the long-term breeding of cypress (Cupressus funebris Endl.), the genealogy of breeding parents was reconstructed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers. Seventeen SSR markers were used to detect molecular polymorphisms among 290 cypress accessions fr...

The cypress family (Cupressaceae) possesses highly rearranged plastomes that lack a pair of large inverted repeats typically found in land plants. A few cypress species have been reported to contain isomeric plastomes, but whether the existence of isomeric plastomes is ubiquitous in the family remains to be investigated with a broader taxon sampling. In this study, we sequenced the complete pla...
