Ocular examination was normal except for internal ophthalmoplegia of the left eye. The left pupil did not constrict when pilocarpine drops of either 0.125% or 1% were applied to the eye suggesting pharmacological origin of the condition and excluding an Adie’s pupil and a third nerve palsy respectively. A detailed medical history helped to the final diagnosis of pharmacological mydriasis by rev...

In 1998, the UK government introduced wealth creation as a “third mission” for universities in addition to teaching and research, and backed it with £50 million a year (Klein, 2002; Martin & Tang, 2007; Molas-Gallart et al., 2002). The idea of organizing a third mission—in addition to research and higher education—however, is much older, for example, in the case of agricultural universities in ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY We describe a field and laboratory workflow developed for plant phylotranscriptomic projects that involves cryogenic tissue collection in the field, RNA extraction and quality control, and library preparation. We also make recommendations for sample curation. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 216 frozen tissue samples of Caryophyllales and other angiosperm taxa were collecte...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Internationally, gardens hold diverse living collections that can be preserved for genomic research. Workflows have been developed for genomic tissue sampling in other taxa (e.g., vertebrates), but are inadequate for plants. We outline a workflow for tissue sampling intended for two audiences: botanists interested in genomics research and garden staff who plan to voucher li...

Native Rubus were brought from North America to European botanical gardens in the 18th and early 19th centuries, some described as new species. Limited knowledge of that era, typically combined with brief descriptions, led many incorrect interpretations, causing much confusion (especially America). We established a project clarify identity these confusing species by reviewing types descriptions...
