Abstract The systematization of Maesa , a genus almost 200 species, has haunted taxonomists for more than century due to its lack distinct qualitative characters or discontinuities in quantitative species delimitation. clarification phylogenetic relationships such problematic like is essential aid infrageneric classification and Here, species‐level tree reconstructed. Leaf materials were sample...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY We developed microsatellite markers for the endangered plant Primula boveana, the Sinai primrose, and assessed the cross-transferability of these markers to six related taxa. • METHODS AND RESULTS DNA sequences containing microsatellites were isolated from a microsatellite-enriched library. We obtained successful amplification of 13 microsatellite primer pai...

Primrose (Primula spp.), in the Primulaceae family, blooms early spring and is produced as a seasonal flower or potted ornamental. Even though primroses can be propagated by separating offspring from mother plant, reproduction coefficient low irregular late germination seen their seeds that prevent mass production. Therefore, with this study, it was aimed to production of wild primroses, which ...

Abstract Background Dionysia tapetodes , a small cushion-forming mountainous evergreen in the Primulaceae, possesses vast surface-covering of long silky fibres forming characteristic “woolly” farina. This contrasts with some related Primula which instead form fine powder. Farina is formed by specialized cellular factories, type glandular trichome, but precise composition and how it exits cell p...

A distinctive feature of the major eudicot diversification that occurred through Late Cretaceous is unequivocal presence Cornales and diverse Ericales. Here we describe well-preserved fossil flowers from Mira locality in western Portugal, Campanian-Maastrichtian age, assign to a new extinct genus Ericales with two species; Miranthus elegans gen. et sp. nov. kvacekii The are pedicellate, structu...
