Variability of candidate genes, genetic structure and association with sugar accumulation and climacteric behavior in a broad germplasm collection of melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BioMed Central, 2015-03-19)
Background: A collection of 175 melon (Cucumis melo L.) accessions (including wild relatives, feral types, landraces, breeding lines and commercial cultivars) from 50 countries was selected to study the phenotypic variability ...
The cell walls of pteridophytes and other green plants - a review
(British Pteridological Society, 2006-12-22)
The cell wall is one of the defining characteristics of plants and is a fundamental
component in normal growth and development. Cell wall composition is a
potentially valuable source of phylogenetic information as notable ...
Bumblebee colony development following chronic exposure to field-realistic levels of the neonicotinoid pesticide thiamethoxam under laboratory conditions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-20)
Neonicotinoid pesticides are used in agriculture to reduce damage from crop pests. However, beneficial insects such as bees can come into contact with these pesticides when foraging in treated areas, with potential ...
Cell wall evolution and diversity
(Frontiers Media, 2012-07-06)
Plant cell walls display a considerable degree of diversity in their compositions and molecular architectures. In some cases the functional significance of a particular cell wall type appears to be easy to discern: secondary ...
Charophytes: evolutionary giants and emerging model organisms
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-10)
Charophytes are the group of green algae whose ancestral lineage gave rise to land plants in what resulted in a profoundly transformative event in the natural history of the planet. Extant charophytes exhibit many features ...
