POLLEN‐OVULE RATIOS: A CONSERVATIVE INDICATOR OF BREEDING SYSTEMS IN FLOWERING PLANTS

open access: yesEvolution; international journal of organic evolution, 1977
The evolutionary shift from xenogamy (outcrossing) to autogamy (selfing) has been mediated through decreased flower size and alterations in floral morphology (Ornduff, 1969) which reduce the energetic cost per flower (Cruden, unpubl.) and facilitate self-

Diltiazem Reduces Mortality and Breakdown of ATP in Red Blood Cell Induced by Isoproterenol in a Freely Moving Rat Model in Vivo

open access: yesMetabolites, 2014
The benefit of calcium channel blockers for cardiovascular prevention against heart attack and stroke has not been firmly supported. We investigated the possible cardiovascular protective effect of diltiazem (DTZ) against injury induced by isoproterenol ...

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Honey bee foraging ecology: Season but not landscape diversity shapes the amount and diversity of collected pollen

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The availability of pollen in agricultural landscapes is essential for the successful growth and reproduction of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera L.).

Multi‐proxy reconstruction of the Holocene vegetation and land use dynamics in the Julian Alps, north‐west Slovenia

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 107-122, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Small mountain lakes are natural archives for understanding long‐term natural and anthropogenic impact on the environment. This study focused on long‐term (last ca. 13 000 years) vegetation changes and sedimentary processes in the catchment area of Lake Planina pri jezeru (1430 m a.s.l.) by using mineralogical, geochemical and palynological ...

Applying pollen DNA metabarcoding to the study of plant–pollinator interactions

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, 2017
Premise of the study: To study pollination networks in a changing environment, we need accurate, high-throughput methods. Previous studies have shown that more highly resolved networks can be constructed by studying pollen loads taken from bees, relative

The Arabidopsis KINβγ Subunit of the SnRK1 Complex Regulates Pollen Hydration on the Stigma by Mediating the Level of Reactive Oxygen Species in Pollen. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
Pollen-stigma interactions are essential for pollen germination. The highly regulated process of pollen germination includes pollen adhesion, hydration, and germination on the stigma. However, the internal signaling of pollen that regulates pollen-stigma

Pollen13K: A Large Scale Microscope Pollen Grain Image Dataset [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Pollen grain classification has a remarkable role in many fields from medicine to biology and agronomy. Indeed, automatic pollen grain classification is an important task for all related applications and areas. This work presents the first large-scale pollen grain image dataset, including more than 13 thousands objects.

Robust Pollen Imagery Classification with Generative Modeling and Mixup Training [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Deep learning approaches have shown great success in image classification tasks and can aid greatly towards the fast and reliable classification of pollen grain aerial imagery. However, often-times deep learning methods in the setting of natural images can suffer generalization problems and yield poor performance on unseen test distribution.

Looking to the past to inform the future: What eDNA from herbarium specimens can tell us about plant–animal interactions

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The importance of natural history collections in modern ecological and genetic research cannot be overstated. Herbarium specimens provide historical information that can be used to investigate community ecology, phenology, and population genetics. In this study, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing were
