×Sinocalycalycanthus raulstonii (Calycanthaceae): A New Intergeneric Hybrid between Sinocalycanthus chinensis and Calycanthus floridus

Characterization of 31 microsatellite markers for Sinocalycanthus chinensis (Calycanthaceae), an endemic endangered species1

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Thirty-one microsatellite markers were developed for Sinocalycanthus chinensis (Calycanthaceae), an endemic endangered species in China. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one polymorphic and 10 monomorphic microsatellite markers of S. chinensis were developed using methods of biotin-streptavidin capture and capillary electrophoresis. The number of alleles per locus was one to 20...

Calycanthus chinensis: The Chinese Sweetshrub

are oppositely arranged with short petioles and are glossy green with a touch of roughness on the upper surface. In the Boston area its nodding flowers appear in mid to late spring. Appearances notwithstanding, the sepals and petals are not differentiated (therefore termed tepals): the outer tepals are a silky white with a tinge of pink and a diameter of two to three inches, while the inner tep...

A Summary of Intergeneric New World Quail Hybrids, and a New Intergeneric Hybrid Combination

FCM, SSR and CAPS analysis of intergeneric somatic hybrid plants between Changshou kumquat and Dancy tangerine

Flow cytometry (FCM), simple sequence repeats (SSR) and cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) were used to characterize the ploidy level and the nuclear and cytoplasmic compositions of two intergeneric somatic hybrids of Changshou kumquat (Fortunella obovata), leaf parent, and Dancy tangerine (Citrus reticulata), suspension parent. FCM showed that both somatic hybrids were tetraploids. ...

A New Intergeneric Wood Warbler Hybrid (parula Americana X Dendroica Coronata) (aves: Fringillidae)

— A new imergeneric wood warbler hybrid {Panda americana % Dendroica coronata) is described from a male in first basic plumage taken during fall migration on the Gulf" coast of Florida. The hybrid is nearly intermediate between the parental species in plumage pattern and color, but is more similar to its smaller parent. P. americana. in size and shape. When Gray's compendium of avian hybrids wa...
