چکیده
Flowers are colonized and inhabited by diverse microbes. have various mechanisms to suppress microbial growth, such as flower volatiles, reactive oxygen secondary compounds. Besides, plants rapidly replace flowers that a short lifespan, old senesce. They may contribute avoiding adverse effects of the In this study, we investigate if community on impedes fruit seed production in wild ginger with one-day flowers. We focus microbes because they be composed would grow during flowering did not growth. inoculated newly opened microbes, monitored set. also assessed prokaryotic communities using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. found six bacterial sequence variants (ASVs) whose proportions were increased These ASVs buds bagged net or paper anthesis, suggesting had been present small numbers prior flowering. Fruit set was negatively associated these ASVs, while not. The results suggest harbor different from those at abundant affect plant reproduction. Although it has received little attention, antagonistic proliferate affected evolution characteristics volatiles life span.

متن کاملAutomatic Recognition of Wild Flowers
In this paper we propose an automatic recognition system for wild flowers. Two photos, one of the flower and one of the leaves taken from directly above or at a close angle of a single wild flower, were used as a single set. The objective (flower, leaf) is extracted from each image using a clustering method, then recognition is performed using a piecewise linear discriminant function after find...
