WUSCHEL -Related Homeobox Genes Cooperate with Cytokinin Signalling to Promote Bulbil Formation in Lilium lancifolium [PDF]
Summary The bulbil is an important vegetative reproductive organ in triploid Lilium lancifolium . Based on our previously obtained transcriptome data, we screened two WUSCHCEL-related homeobox ( WOX ) genes ...

Morphological and anatomical observation during the formation of bulbils in Lilium lancifolium
Aerial bulbil, other than axillary branch and tendril, is a special propagative organ in Lilium lancifolium, but the development events occurring during bulbil formation of L. lancifolium have not been reported. In this study, we observed the changes of morphology and anatomical structure during the process of bulbil formation in L. lancifolium.

Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

Our results demonstrate that interactive effects of clonal reproduction and intraspecific density are important contributors to plant demography and that high local density increases the negative impact of drought on population growth rates. Abstract Making predictions about the persistence of plant populations under climate change requires explicitly ...

ABSTRACT Alien plant species are widely utilised for ornament, agro‐forestry, or even for restoration and are more likely to be introduced multiple times and disseminated widely across a landscape. Here we report on the native and alien species used for hedging purposes in rural and peri‐urban eastern Africa and undertake a preliminary assessment to ...

Food System Change, Development, and Vulnerability in Semi‐Agricultural Areas of Tibet
ABSTRACT With social and economic development, food systems have significantly changed on the Tibetan plateau over the last two decades. However, the impact of dietary change on Tibetans and their communities remains less well known. This article examines how food change happens in semi‐agricultural areas of eastern Tibet within the context of ...

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

Amaryllis bulbs of high-quality clones are propagated practically by the fractional scale-stem cuttage method. Studies were carried out on the regenerative response of cuttings at different times of the year taking consideration of the seasonal change of organic and inorganic contents in their parent bulbs. Parent bulbs of a clone were dug out in March,

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.
