Poa secunda; environmental factors; genetic variation; genotype; genotype-phenotype correlation; geographical variation; grassland restoration; growing season; indigenous species; leaf area; panicles; perennial grasses; phenology; phenotypic plasticity; phytomass; plant morphology; plant reproduction; survival rate; Western United States
Abstract:
... Increasing the evolutionary potential of restored populations has become a viable objective of restoration activities. Choosing plant materials genetically adapted to the restoration environment is critical for success, and phenotypic plasticity may also contribute to establishment and persistence in disturbed environments. To select seed sources for restoration informed by plasticity, we must ans ...

Abstract:
... Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are vital components of the translation control system that regulates plant development and reproduction. The biological function of sly-miR156 was investigated by over-expression in tomato plants. Transgenic tomato plants exhibited a drastically altered phenotype, with reduced height, smaller but more numerous leaves, and smaller fruit. The inflorescence structure of sly- ...

Abstract:
... Pollination by water (hydrophily) is a highly specialized mechanism that occurs rarely among aquatic angiosperms, which mainly retain the reproductive systems reminiscent of their terrestrial ancestors. Hydrophily is abiotic and typically associated with unisexual flowers, factors that predictably would promote xenogamy and outcrossing. Yet, there have been few reports of hybridization involving w ...

Studies of age-related changes in leaf functional biology have generally been based on dichotomous comparisons of young and mature individuals (e.g., saplings and mature canopy trees), with little data available to describe changes through the entire ontogeny of trees, particularly of broadleaf angiosperms. Leaf-level gas-exchange and morphological parameters were quantified in situ in the upper c ...

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis places 'Appar' with other collections o ...

The endophytic system of the primary haustorium, however, showed differences, which allowed classificatio ...

Orchids and asclepiads are particularly at risk as their pollen is packaged as pollinia and so can be deposited on self-stigmas en masse. Many orchids and asclepiads have adaptations to limit self-deposition of pollinia, including gradual re ...

Functionally, male flowers have a less developed ovary and females have anthers lacking pollen. They are pollinated by five species of Sphingidae. The low fruit set under natural ...

Results indicated that there was very strong clonal integration between mother and daughter ramets. Mother ramets can provide nitrogen and phosphorus to daughter ramets sufficient for their continued growth through strong clonal integration, but cannot provide enough photo ...
