The female reproductive unit of Ephedra (Gnetales): comparative morphology and evolutionary perspectives

The female reproductive unit of ephedra (Gnetales): comparative morphology and evolutionary perspectives.

Morphological variation in Ephedra (Gnetales) is limited and confusing from an evolutionary perspective, with parallelisms and intraspecific variation. However, recent analyses of molecular data provide a phylogenetic framework for investigations of morphological traits, albeit with few informative characters in the investigated gene regions. We document morphological, anatomical and histologic...

Pollen and Pollination in Ephedra (gnetales)

Comparative female reproductive tract development and morphology

A brief description of the basic pattern of mammalian organogenesis of the female reproductive tract is presented based on events as they occur in human beings. The emphasis is not on the details of this development, but rather its organization and timing. Tables of comparative development provide a comparison of similar events between man, rat, mouse, and chick.

Moonlight pollination in the gymnosperm Ephedra (Gnetales).

Most gymnosperms are wind-pollinated, but some are insect-pollinated, and in Ephedra (Gnetales), both wind pollination and insect pollination occur. Little is, however, known about mechanisms and evolution of pollination syndromes in gymnosperms. Based on four seasons of field studies, we show an unexpected correlation between pollination and the phases of the moon in one of our studied species...

the impact of attending efl classes on the level of depression of iranian female learners and their attributional complexity

می توان گفت واقعیت چند لایه ا ی کلاس های زبان انگلیسی بسیار حائز اهمیت است، زیرا عواطف و بینش های زبان آموزان تحت تاثیر قرار می گیرد. در پژوهش پیش رو، گفته می شود که دبیران با در پیش گرفتن رویکرد فرا-انسانگرایی ، قادرند در زندگی دانش آموزانشان نقش مهمی را ایفا سازند. بر اساس گفته ی ویلیامز و بردن (2000)، برای کرل راجرز، یکی از بنیان گذاران رویکرد انسانگرایی ، یادگیری بر مبنای تجربه، نوعی از یاد...
