Systematics of Nama (Hydrophyllaceae): Seed Coat Morphology of Lemmonia californica ajd Nama Species allies with Nama demissum
نویسنده
چکیده
Seed coat morphology of Lemmonia californica. long held to be a relative of Nama. was examined using scanning electron microscopy. Its seed coat exhibits reticulum cells with undulate cell walls and columnar radial wall thickenings. Seed coat structure in nine species of Nama. N. demissum. N. aretioides. N. densum. N. parviflorum. N. pusillum. N. depressum. N. dichotomum. N. sericeum and N. origanifolium. members forming one of six seed groups in Nama. also exhibit reticulum cells with undulate walls and columnar wall thickenings. The Nama species and Lemmonia are remarkably similar in testa organization, suggesting that the relationship of the two may well be closer than the generic status accorded Lemmonia would indicate.

متن کاملA host factor involved in hypovirus symptom expression in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica.
The prototype hypovirus CHV1-EP713 causes virulence attenuation and severe suppression of asexual sporulation and pigmentation in its host, the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica. We identified a factor associated with symptom induction in C. parasitica using a transformation of C. parasitica strain EP155 with a full-length cDNA clone from a mild mutant virus strain, Cys(72). This...
