The identity of Albuca caudata Jacq. (Hyacinthaceae) and a description of a new related species: A. bakeri

Furthermore, some divergent specimens matching Baker´s concept of Alb...
متن کاملExtremely Long-Lived Stigmas Allow Extended Cross-Pollination Opportunities in a High Andean Plant

Chaetanthera renifolia (Asteraceae) is an endemic monocarpic triennial herb restricted to a narrow altitudinal range within the high Andes of central Chile (3300-3500 m a.s.l.), just below the vegetation limit.

15 صفحه اولCrocins with High Levels of Sugar Conjugation Contribute to the Yellow Colours of Early-Spring Flowering Crocus Tepals
Crocus sativus is the source of saffron spice, the processed stigma which accumulates glucosylated apocarotenoids known as crocins. Crocins are found in the stigmas of other Crocuses, determining the colourations observed from pale yellow to dark red. By contrast, tepals in Crocus species display a wider diversity of colours which range from purple, blue, yellow to white. In this study, we inve...

Some researchers argue that gestures serve an interpersonal function, such as making the intended message clear (e.g., Gallagher & Frith, 2003; cf. Kita, 2000). In this study, we tested whether gestures serve an interpersonal function, specifically predicting that the higher participants’ autism spectrum quotient, the less frequently they would gesture. Participants completed the Autism Spectru...
