Maturation of Sweetgum and American Sycamore Seeds
Over three consecutive years in central Mississippi, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraci/lua L.) and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) fruits had nearly reached fullsize by late June.

Both tests indicated that southern seed sources are more disease resistant than northern seed sources and that some progenies within seed source have even greater resistance.

متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a RAPD-PCR marker for distinguishing Asian and North American gypsy moths.
The recent introduction of the Asian gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) into North America has necessitated the development of genetic markers to distinguish Asian moths from the established North American population, which originated in Europe. We used RAPD-PCR to identify a DNA length polymorphism that is diagnostic for the two moth strains. The polymorphism maps to an autosomal locus with codo...
