Expanded application to plant reproductive tissues of a branched DNA probe‐based in situ hybridization method

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Assessing the viability of genebanked seeds from rare, wild plants native to the United States using the D.E.A.D. paradigm

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

Patterns of past and recent conversion of indigenous grasslands in the South Island, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2012
We used recent satellite imagery to quantify the extent, type, and rate of conversion of remaining indigenous grasslands in the inland eastern South Island of New Zealand in recent years.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

A simple and affordable protocol to assess censer seed dispersal: First confirmation of the mechanism in the genus Solanum

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

LENGTH OF VEGETATION PERIOD IN BARLEY CULTIVARS WITH NEUTRAL PHOTOPERIOD

Вестник Кемеровского государственного университета, 2014
28 barley cultivars with a neutral photoperiod grown in Western Siberia were studied in comparison with Biom and Nikita cultivars grown in Kemerovo region. They differed significantly in the total length of vegetation period.

Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...

Investigations on the ecology and production-biology of the "floating meadows" (Paspalo-Echinochloetum) on the Middle Amazon. Part 1: The floating vegetation and its ecology

, 1970
Investigations on the "floating meadows" (Paspalo-Echinochloetum) of the vârzea- region of central Amazonia in the surroundings of Manaus were made from May 1967 until October 1968.
