The Structural–Rhythmological Organization of Coelogyne (Orchidaceae Juss.) Inflorescences
International Journal of Plant Biology, 2023 The morphostructure of inflorescences in the genus Coelogyne Lindl. was studied for the first time using a structural–rhythmological approach. Three species of Coelogyne were used to describe one-season, intercalary, and all-season inflorescences.

Interpreting Lemma and Palea Homologies: A Point of View from Rice Floral Mutants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 In contrast to eudicot flowers which typically exhibit sepals and petals at their periphery, the flowers of grasses are distinguished by the presence of characteristic outer organs.

The Arabidopsis JAGGED gene encodes a zinc finger protein that promotes leaf tissue development [PDF]
, 2004 Important goals in understanding leaf development are to identify genes involved in pattern specification, and also genes that translate this information into cell types and tissue structure. Loss-of-function mutations at the JAGGED (JAG) locus result in

Elsholtzia zhongyangii (Lamiaceae), a new species from Sichuan, China [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2022 Elsholtzia zhongyangii (Lamiaceae), a new species from Sichuan Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to E. feddei f. feddei, but it can be easily distinguished from E. feddei f.

Journey of water in pine cones [PDF]
, 2019 Pine cones fold their scales when it rains to prevent seeds from short-distance dispersal. Given that the scales of pine cones consist of nothing but dead cells, this folding motion is evidently related to structural changes.

A new species of Monanthotaxis from Gabon with a unique inflorescence type for Annonaceae [PDF]
, 2014 Monanthotaxis Baillon (1890: 878) currently consists of 56 species (Rainer & Chatrou 2006) confined to tropical Africa and Madagascar and is the second most species-rich genus of Annonaceae in Africa after Uvaria Linnaeus (1753: 536).
