HAPLOID PLANTS IN THE JAPANESE MORNING GLORY

Morning glory syndrome.

Morning glory syndrome is a congenital optic disc anomaly in which much of the excavated colobomatous optic disc is filled with glial tissue. Ocular complications may include strabismus, reduced visual acuity and retinal detachment and it may have systemic associations as in Aicardi's syndrome. A patient with monocular morning glory syndrome and reduced visual acuity is reported. The pattern re...

Patient with Morning Glory syndrome

A 6-year-old patient was referred to our ophthalmology service because of an ocular deviation (esotropia) on the right eye for 3 years. Best-corrected visual acuity in right eye and 20/20 in left eye. According to the Krimsky test, the patient showed 15 prism dioptres esotropia in right eye. No changes were observed in biomicroscopy of both eyes and funduscopy of left eye was normal. An optical...

The morning glory wave of southern California

[1] A pulse-like disturbance traveling across the Los Angeles basin was observed on 12 October 2001 with seismographs of the TriNet network. This wave had a period of about 1000 s and a propagation speed of about 10 m/s, much slower than seismic waves. The seismograph data were compared with barograph data, and a good correlation was found so the wave was determined to be atmospheric in origin....

Genome sequence and analysis of the Japanese morning glory Ipomoea nil

Ipomoea is the largest genus in the family Convolvulaceae. Ipomoea nil (Japanese morning glory) has been utilized as a model plant to study the genetic basis of floricultural traits, with over 1,500 mutant lines. In the present study, we have utilized second- and third-generation-sequencing platforms, and have reported a draft genome of I. nil with a scaffold N50 of 2.88 Mb (contig N50 of 1.87 ...
