Rehmannia is a non-parasitic genus in Orobanchaceae including six species mainly distributed in central and north China. Its phylogenetic position and infrageneric relationships remain uncertain due to potential hybridization and polyploidization. In this study, we sequenced and compared the complete chloroplast genomes of six Rehmannia species using Illumina sequencing technology to elucidate ...

Members of the family Cyperaceae were surveyed by original observation and from the literature to assess the distribution of C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways in the family. All 107 genera were included in the current sample, with 91 genera assessed as consistently C3 and 11 genera as C4. The genera Abildgaardia, Cyperus, Eleocharis, Fimbristylis, and Rhynchospora are variable for this trait. O...

Imperata is a ubiquitous grass genus of the tribe Andropogoneae (Poaceae), distributed throughout world. Previous systematic studies had established that encompasses nine species although no phylogenetic molecular are available in which all taxa have been included. The American continent has largest number species, encouraging research into how these evolved. Here we present analysis based on t...

Centaurea cineraria L. (Compositae: Cardueae: Centaureinae), part of the group, is described and illustrated, notes provided on its cultivation, propagation, pests diseases availability. Within current concepts full synonymy C. gymnocapra are along with type citations known distribution material. The infrageneric divisions commented briefly. varying treatments complex species discussed, some cl...

The Lerma-Chapala Basin, in Central Mexico, is geologically heterogeneous, climatically diverse and boasts high biodiversity, lying within two Biodiversity Hotspots, namely Mesoamerica and the Madrean Pine-Oak Woodlands. Epilithon and water samples were collected in the basin from 14 sampling sites three times each, two sampling campaigns during the rainy season and one in the dry season. A tot...

A data set derived from gene sequences of ndhF is used to deduce phylogenetic relationships among the subgenera of Solanum, among related genera of the tribe Solaneae, and within selected Solanum clades. Complete ndhF sequences were obtained for 12 species of Solanum, representing five of the seven subgenera. ndhF sequences also were obtained from species of Capsicum, Cyphomandra, Datura, Jalto...

The carnivorous plant genus Utricularia L. (bladderwort) comprises about 240 species distributed worldwide and is traditionally classified into two subgenera (Polypompholyx and Utricularia) and 35 sections, based mainly on general and trap morphology. It is one out of the largest carnivorous genera, representing ca. 30% of all carnivorous plant species, and is also the most widely distributed. ...

text classification is an important research field in information retrieval and text mining. the main task in text classification is to assign text documents in predefined categories based on documents’ contents and labeled-training samples. since word detection is a difficult and time consuming task in persian language, bayesian text classifier is an appropriate approach to deal with different...

Klasea is a taxonomically complex genus in which there are many problems, mostly with Klasea kotschyi and Klasea hakkiarica. It is challenging to differentiate the genera based on morphological characters alone. Revision studies performed on the basis of molecular data obtained from studies conducted in recent years have made the phylogenetic relationships and systematic positions of the taxa m...
