The bicolor Asiatic hybrid lily cultivar "Tiny Padhye" is an attractive variety because of its unique color pattern. During its bicolor tepal development, the upper tepals undergo a rapid color change from green to white, while the tepal bases change from green to purple. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes remain largely uncharacterized. To systematically investigate the...

The product of myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase, EC 5.5.1.4, from mature pollen of Lilium longiflorum Thunb., cv Ace (Easter lily) and that of myo-inositol kinase, EC 2.7.1.64, from wheat germ has been identified as 1l-myo-inositol-1-phosphate by gas chromatography of its trimethylsilyl-methyl phosphate derivative on a glass capillary column bearing a chiral phase.

Intervals of sporogenous DNA synthesis in lily anthers are associated with marked accumulations of methanol- and acid-soluble deoxyribosidic compounds. There are differences in solubility between compounds accumulating at meiosis and those accumulating at mitosis. The formation of these compounds appears to be related to a breakdown of somatic DNA.

LTL synthesis is the process of generating a reactive finite-state system from a formal specification written in Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). The idea of synthesis is to automatically construct a functional correct system from a behavioral description of the system. Even though the idea is nearly fifty years old and the underlying theory is well established, is has not be adapted to practice ye...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of in vitro and regeneration of lily (lilium longiflorum) bulb scale by different plant growth regulators in b5 medium in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement and 4 replications. treatments consisted of indole-3-acetic acid (iaa) and 2,4-d in b5 medium in four concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mg/lit) and these were combined to...

Microfilaments perform essential functions in eukaryotic cells, being responsible, in conjunction with other cytoskeletal elements, for the structural integrity of the cell and also for many of the cellular movements, including muscle contraction, cytokinesis, cytoplasmic streaming, and phagocytosis. The structural versatility of microfilaments is mediated by actin-binding proteins (Hartwig and...

The University of Georgia (UGA) main campus is dominated by impervious surfaces that produce stormwater runoff during rain events. Campus runoff drains directly into local streams, primarily through storm drains. The effects of organic and inorganic contamination on local streams requires mitigation and management practices, which are regulated by the Athens-Clark County MS4 program (ACC 2015)....

oriental hybrid lily “arabian red” mother scales were stored in moist cocopeat and perlite (1:1) for 3 or 5 months at 25 ̊c. the numbers of scale bulblets per mother scale were nearly identical in two durations. increasing storage duration promoted the growth of roots (number and length) and no. scales per scale bulblets. and, diameters of scale bulblets were more in longer storage duration (5 m...

A wetness duration experiment was carried out within a lily field situated adjacent to coastal dunes in the Netherlands. A within-canopy model was applied to simulate leaf wetness in three layers, with equal leaf area indices, within the canopy. This simulation model is an extension of an existing model. It appeared that in most cases leaf wetness started in the uppermost layer followed by the ...
