Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Reinstatement and generic reassignment of Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat (Phyllanthaceae) based on living plant observations and specimen analysis

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat has been treated as a synonym of P. pulcher Wall. ex Müll. Arg. (syn. Nymphanthus glaucescens (Miq.) R.W.Bouman) since 1987. Through detailed morphological observations of living plants and critical examinations of type materials and additional specimens, this study revealed that the two taxa are morphologically very ...

Environmental Regulation of Anther Dehiscence and Pollen Germination in Pecan [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1993
Detached anthers and pollen of pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) C. Koch] were exposed to a range of relative humidities (RH) and/or temperatures to assess the interaction of these environmental factors on pollen dispersal and germination.

Breynia phuongiana (Phyllanthaceae), a new species from the Central Highlands of Vietnam

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species, Breynia phuongiana (Phyllanthaceae subgen. Sauropus), is described and illustrated from the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It is morphologically similar to B. beillei, B. bonii, and B. thorelii, but differs in having oblong‐elliptic leaves, sepals marked with reddish striations, an androphore exceeding 1 mm in length, and distinctly ...

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)

AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR17 Directly Regulates MYB108 for Anther Dehiscence [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2019
The timely release of mature pollen following anther dehiscence is essential for reproduction in flowering plants. AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR17 (ARF17) plays a crucial role in pollen wall pattern formation, tapetum development, and auxin signal transduction in anthers. Here, we showed that ARF17 is also involved in anther dehiscence.

Ricinosomes Predict Programmed Cell Death Leading to Anther Dehiscence in Tomato       [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2008
Abstract Successful development and dehiscence of the anther and release of pollen are dependent upon the programmed cell death (PCD) of the tapetum and other sporophytic tissues. Ultrastructural examination of the developing and dehiscing anther of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) revealed that cells of the interlocular septum, the ...
