Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...

Small delicate structures found in the leaf bases in vegetative buds of the marine angiosperm Halophila ovalis (R. Br.) Hook. f. showed a fine structure of the component cells typical of secretory cells. They are rich in organelles particularly ER, dictyosomes, ribosomes and mitochondria. Endoplasmic reticulum occurs at two localities in each cell, one

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Synchronized anthesis and predation on pollen in the marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum (Hydrocharitaceae) [PDF]
Synchrony in the anthesis of male and female flowers of the hydrophilous dioecious marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum was studied by following flower buds of 64 staminate and 34 carpellate flowers in situ during night and day to observe the timing of flower opening.

A new conifer record from the late Aptian of La Paja Formation from Veléz, Santander (Colombia)
A new plant assemblage from the La Paja Formation at the Los Guayabos section of Vélez, Santander (Central Colombia) is described here. Based on ammonite biostratigraphy, the age of the flora is estimated as late Aptian.

ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 26) is one of the oldest oilseed crops and is often called the ‘queen of oilseeds’ due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants. Despite its long history, the origin and global spread of cultivated sesame remain unresolved.
