Biology, Genetics, and Management of Ergot (Claviceps spp.) in Rye, Sorghum, and Pearl Millet
Ergot is a disease of cereals and grasses caused by fungi in the genus Claviceps. Of particular concern are Claviceps purpurea in temperate regions, C. africana in sorghum (worldwide), and C. fusiformis in pearl millet (Africa, Asia).

Floral miniaturisation and autogamy in boreal-arctic plants are epitomised by Iceland’s most frequent orchid, Platanthera hyperborea [PDF]
Background and Aims. This paper concludes our series of publications comparing island and mainland speciation in European butterfly-orchids, by studying the morphology, phylogenetics and reproductive biology of the controversial circum-arctic species ...

Identification of genes and genomic segments for cleistogamy in Pigeonpea(Cajanus cajan L.) [PDF]
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is one of the major grain legume crops of the world predominantly grown in semi-arid tropics and sub-tropical regions. Pigeonpea has open or semi-cleistogamous flowers that promote natural out crossing. However,

Is co‐existence and/or containment of genetically modified plants possible, and is it important?
ABSTRACT Co‐existence and containment of genetically modified (GM) plants has been a contentious issue since GM technologies were first commercially released in the mid‐1990s. In the first decade of commercial GM plant use, there were a significant number of contamination incidents resulting from GM presence in non‐GM crops and seed, some with a ...

Cleistogamy and phylogenetic position of Viola uliginosa (Violaceae) re-examined
Viola uliginosa is an endangered species throughout its range in Central Europe. Based on an unusual combination of morphological characters, including a reported lack of cleistogamous (CL) flowers, it was previously placed in the monotypic subsection ...

Many species of the Bromeliaceae are under threat due to the fragmentation and anthropogenic pressure affecting the Atlantic Forest highlight the need to conservation efforts. The genus Hohenbergia deserves special attention in this context, as the Hohenbergia stellata complex includes endemic species that rely on diverse reproductive strategies, which
