Abstract:
... The Passiflora L. (Passifloraceae) genus consists of about 500 species widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions, commonly known as the passion flower. The passion flowers are considered ornamental plants because of the exotic beauty of their flowers and variant foliage. Since their introduction to the Old World, around 1625, seventeenth century, they have been used to decorat ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Lady's slipper orchids (Paphiopedilum) are of high value in floriculture, and interspecific hybridization has long been used for breeding improved cultivars; however, information regarding the genome affinities of species and chromosome pairing behaviour of the hybrids remains almost unknown. The present work analyses the meiotic behaviour of interspecific hybrids by genomic i ...

Abstract:
... In breeding programs for ornamental bulb crops, interspecific hybridization is one of the most important ways for the introduction of new genetic variation. The genus Lilium generally includes allogamous species with problems of self-incompatibility and the consequent inability to produce seeds when they are self-pollinated. The intraspecific crosses produce a large quantity of seeds, whereas cros ...
