Sprouting of Yam Bulbils as Affected by Chemical Treatment
The sprouting of yam (Dioscorea alata cv. Baligun-on) bulbils treated with ethephon (up to 10,000 ppm) and calcium carbide (up to 100,000 ppm) was neither hastened nor delayed. In contrast, gibberellic acid (GA3) from 75 to 300 ppm progressively delayed sprouting and reduced weight losses.

Salt stress (SS) poses a significant threat to cut flower geophytes. This study evaluated the impact of SS on vegetative growth and photosynthetic activities in tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) and assessed the efficacy of 300 ppm salicylic acid (SA) alone or in combination with 100 ppm indole acetic acid (IAA), 300 ppm ascorbic acid (AA), and 300 ppm

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte
Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

New norclerodane diterpenoids from bulbils of Dioscorea bulbifera L.
Investigation of extracts from bulbils of Dioscorea bulbifera L. yielded two new norclerodane diterpenoids, diosbulbin N acetate (1) and epi-diosbulbin B (3), together with eleven known compounds. Their structures were established based on spectroscopy.

Upon prolonged waterlogging, a Costus speciosus plant developed bulbils at stem node. Karyotype analysis, nucleolar staining, and anatomical study revealed its triploid status and developmental aspects. Prevalence of tetraploid, abundance, and unique reproductive fecundity of the triploid, indicates its determinant role in coexistence of the multiple ...

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Alien Plant Invasion in Native Shrublands
Habitat fragmentation is one of the main reasons for high rates of alien plants in natural areas. This study investigated the influence of multiple factors (grazing, fragment size, and habitat structure) on alien plant invasion of kānuka shrublands.
