SUMMARY One of the most striking examples plant hairs is single‐celled epidermal seed trichome cultivated cotton. The developmental morphology these commercial “fibers” has been well‐characterized in Gossypium hirsutum , but little known about pattern and tempo fiber development wild species, all which have short, agronomically inferior fiber. To identify differences that account for variation length, to place a phylogenetic context, we conducted SEM studies ovules at near time flowering,...

The largest genus of Salicaceae sensu lato, Salix, has been shown to consist two main clades: clade in which species have XY sex-determination systems (SDSs) on chromosome 7, and Vetrix including with ZW SDSs 15. Here, we test the utility whole genome re-sequencing (WGR) for phylogenomic reconstructions willows infer changes between different SDSs.

Abstract The Portulacaceae, Basellaceae, Cactaceae, and Didiereaceae form a monophyletic group within the Caryophyllales, evidence exists that first may be paraphyletic if latter three are recognized at familial level. Several taxonomic treatments of Portulacaceae based on morphological features have failed to produce consensus regarding infrafamilial relationships. present paper employs sequences chloroplast gene ndhF molecular phylogeny portulacaceous cohort, focusing relationship among...

Abstract Almost all species in the genus Salix (willow) are dioecious and willows have variable sex-determining systems, role of this variation maintaining barriers is relatively untested. We first analyzed sex determination systems (SDS) two species, cardiophylla interior, whose positions phylogeny make them important for understanding a chromosome turnover that has been detected their relatives, changed system from male (XX/XY) to female (ZW/ZZ) heterogamety. show both heterogamety, with...

The long-term stability of orally transmitted ethnopharmacopoeias is interest, but difficult to study for lack information on plants used by a specific past culture. Similarities between modern Italian and Dioscorides’ classical text have been proposed derive from replacement traditional practices with those published translations Dioscorides.
