Species of Colletotrichum on Agavaceae

Mycological Research, 2006
Species of Colletotrichum cause diseases on a wide range of hosts, frequently infecting plants in the Agavaceae (monocotyledons: Liliales). Three species of Colletotrichum restricted to the Agavaceae were detected through morphological studies of specimens and molecular sequence analyses of the LSU of the nu-rDNA and the ITS region of the nu-rDNA from ...

LEAF ANATOMY IN SANSEVIERIA (AGAVACEAE)

American Journal of Botany, 1988
Forty‐nine taxa of Sansevieria were examined to provide the first detailed description of leaf anatomy in the genus, as well as to determine the cellular organization of the water‐storage tissue present in the central mesophyll of all leaves. Leaf form ranges from flat through cylindrical, with varying degrees of xeromorphic characteristics, including ...

Chloroplast Isolation in Agavaceas

Chloroplast isolation protocols have been extensively developed for various species of plants, particularly model organisms with easily manipulable physical characteristics. However, succulent plants, such as Agave angustifolia Haw., which possess adaptations for arid environments like the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and a thicker cuticle, have ...

Breeding Structure of a Yucca filamentosa (Agavaceae) Population

Evolution, 1999
Yucca filamentosa and its species-specific pollinator, the yucca moth, Tegeticula yuccasella (Lepidoptera: Prodoxidae), form a relationship that is often cited as a classic example of a coevolved plant-pollinator mutualism. Observations of the moth's behavior have led to predictions that moth dispersal is relatively limited and that, as a consequence ...

Seed fats of the New Zealand agavaceae

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1962
AbstractThe seed fats of five species of Cordyline and two species of Phormium, the only Kew Zealand genera of the family Agavaceae, have been shown to be similar in fatty acid composition, containing the following range of fatty acids: linoleic acid 75‐89%, oleic acid 5‐16%, palmitic acid 3‐11%, stearic acid 1‐3%.

Hybridism in Cordyline (Agavaceae)

New Zealand Journal of Botany, 1975
Abstract Two putative hybrid plants, both apparently with Cordyline pumilio as one parent, yielded small progenies differing considerably from their seed parents. This supplements field evidence that several species of Cordyline cross ...
