Abstract Compact blankets of free-floating plants generate stressful aquatic environments. The response submerged macrophytes remains largely elusive. Will they rush toward the light or rather speed up reproductive efforts and escape using propagules—the macrophyte equivalent lifeboats? We studied effects complete duckweed ( Lemna minor ) cover on growth fitness macroalga Chara globularis in a ...

A new species of Bambusa (Poaceae: Bambusoideae), B. nghiana V.T. Tran, sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. This similar to gurgandii K.M.Wong & Diep, but differs by its long internodes, blade auricles lobed not spreading, upcurved at the end, 2-4 perfect flowers, one terminal vestigial flower.

Trichoscopy examination revealed the presence of few empty follicles, small broken hairs, black dots, and hair with uniform nodal dilatations with intermittent constrictions at which there was shaft breakage [Figure 2]. The hairs were of varying lengths; many were broken. Hairs with normal morphology were seen interspersed within this beaded hair. The beaded hair showed bending in different dir...

Delay-Tolerant Networking(DTN) is an approach to computer network architecture that seeks to address the technical issues in heterogeneous networks that may lack continuous network connectivity.DTN is feasible only on networks with large amounts of local storage and internodes bandwidth relative to the excepted traffic. Application of DTN includes vehicular networks and sensor networks in subur...

Gelidocalamus xunwuensis W.G.Zhang & G.Y.Yang, a new species collected from Xunwu County of Jiangxi Province in China, is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to G. stellatus in the habit, but differs by internodes sparsely hairy with granuliferous warts, culm sheath stiffly hairy, culm sheath blade broadly lanceolate to narrowly triangular, each node with a ring of appressed t...

Drought is a major abiotic factor adversely affecting wheat productivity. Water deficit reduces significantly photosynthesis and hence the remobilization of stored assimilate reserves from stem becomes important sources for grain filling. We assessed ability different internodes leaf sheaths to deposit remobilize reserve assimilates as well their role in yield formation 6 winter varieties under...
