Auxin regulates bulbil initiation by mediating sucrose metabolism in Lilium lancifolium. [PDF]

Hortic Res
Abstract Lily bulbils, which serve as advantageous axillary organs for vegetative propagation, have not been extensively studied in terms of the mechanism of bulbil initiation. The functions of auxin and sucrose metabolism have been implicated in axillary organ development, but their relationship in regulating bulbil initiation remains ...

Ecological divergence in the silver moss Bryum argenteum: developmental, ontogenetic and life-history trait variations across contrasting tropical ecosystems. [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
Ecotypes of the cosmopolitan moss Bryum argenteum differ markedly in growth, reproductive timing, and allocation across contrasting tropical ecosystems. These patterns reveal strong environment‐ and sex‐dependent life‐history strategies, highlighting the species as a model for studying ecological divergence in bryophytes.

Effects of Reproductive Materials on Growth, Corm Yield, and Glucomannan Content in <i>Amorphophallus bulbifer</i>. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
This study compares six propagation materials for Amorphophallus bulbifer. One‐year‐old corms propagated from seeds are the optimal propagation material. ABSTRACT Amorphophallus bulbifer, known for its high glucomannan content, has extensive applications and significant economic value. However, the effects of different types of propagation materials on

The Complete Chloroplast Genome and Morphological Data Support Reinstatement of <i>Sedum jinianum</i> (Crassulaceae) as an Independent Species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Phylogenetic analysis based on complete plastome data indicates that S. jinianum forms a monophyletic clade, sister to a well‐supported clade comprising four S. bulbiferum samples, supporting the reinstatement of S. jinianum as an independent species. ABSTRACT Sedum jinianum (Crassulaceae) has been treated as a synonym of S.

Effects of Tannin-Rich Forages (<i>Lespedeza bicolor</i> and <i>Polygonum viviparum</i> ) Mixed With <i>Medicago sativa</i> on In Vitro Rumen Fermentation. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Mixing alfalfa with tannin‐rich forages is an effective way to improve rumen fermentation. Lespedeza bicolor showed a more prominent effect on reducing gas and methane production than Polygonum viviparum when mixed with alfalfa. When the mixing ratio of tannin‐rich forages and alfalfa was below the threshold of 40:60, the overall fermentation of the ...

Intraspecific Genetic Diversity Analyses of Yam (<i>Dioscorea polystachya</i> Turcz.) Based on DUS Traits and SSR Molecular Markers. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The 113 D. polystachya accessions exhibited substantial genetic diversity, clearly distinguished using 19 SSR markers and 50 DUS traits. A refined set of 14 core DUS traits was established, significantly improving variety identification efficiency. These selected markers and traits provide valuable tools for genetic research and support the utilization

Bulbil Formation on Water Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) Is Promoted by Waterlogged Soil

Agronomy, 2023
The formation of bulbils, which are storage organs, is an important agronomic trait and a unique morphological feature in the vegetative reproduction of yam. We found a landrace of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.), which rarely forms bulbils, that produces
