Flowering plants possess specialized extracellular matrices in the female organs of the flower that support pollen tube growth and sperm cell transfer along the transmitting tract of the gynoecium. Transport of the pollen tube cell and the sperm cells involves a cell adhesion and migration event in species such as lily that possess a transmitting tract epidermis in the stigma, style, and ovary....

Krejzar V., Mertelík J., Pánková I., Kloudová K., Kůdela V. (2008): Pseudomonas marginalis associated with soft rot of Zantedeschia spp. Plant. Protect. Sci., 44: 85–90. For the first time in the Czech Republic, bacteria identified as Pseudomonas marginalis, Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum and Pseudomonas putida were isolated from tubers of Zantedeschia spp. with symptoms of tuber...

Small heat shock proteins (smHSPs) play important and extensive roles in plant defenses against abiotic stresses. We cloned a gene for a smHSP from the David Lily (Lilium davidii (E. H. Wilson) Raffill var. Willmottiae), which we named LimHSP16.45 based on its protein molecular weight. Its expression was induced by many kinds of abiotic stresses in both the lily and transgenic plants of Arabido...

Simple phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficients were calculated from 18 genotypes of glory lily (Gloriosa superba L.) during two seasons (2007 and 2008). Experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications at the Medicinal Plants Unit, Botanical Garden, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Positive phenotypic and genotypic correlat...

Chromosome morphology was studied in lily genotypes L. candidum, L. × formolongi, L. henryi and L. pumilum, and cultivars ‘Alma Ata,’ ‘Expression,’ ‘Marco Polo,’ ‘Muscadet’ and ‘Star Gazer’ belonging to the horticultural group Oriental hybrids. All genotypes tested represented 2n = 2x = 24 chromosomes. Chromosomal markers were established after Feulgen and silver staining, from analysis of the ...

abstract in order to study of two hormones effects of gibberellin and benzyl adenine on (zantedeschia aethiopica cv.childsiana) pot plant characteristics, non dormant rhizomes dipped preplanting in gibberellin solution with concentrations including (0, 100, 200 and 500 ppm) and sprayed in two weeks once to flowering time with benzyl adenine solutions including (0, 100, 200 and 500 ppm). interac...
