Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence was tested in Acer ibericum for its suitability as a barcoding well population genetic marker. The marker reliably used to identify A. gain preliminary insights into the diversity of Georgian populations. MegaBLAST searches studied samples against GenBank database revealed that all accessions could be considered ibericum. Populations from Vashlovani Na...

Populations of Acer species often contain more than three sex phenotypes with complex sexual polymorphism including duodichogamy, protandry and protogyny. We identified the mechanisms that maintain sexual polymorphism in Acer pictum subsp. mono, a temperate tree from northern China, by investigating maternal mating patterns and male reproductive success. We used paternity analyses to estimate r...

MAXIM. (Aceraceae) (Japanese name, Megusurino-ki) has been used as a folk medicine for the treatment of hepatic disorders and eye disease. The bark has been reported to contain various diarylheptanoid and phenolic compounds possessing several biological properties including hepatoprotective effects. In the course of our studies on the bioactive principles from natural sources, we have evaluated...
