Rosa: Tape 1, Side B The recording begins in a delicatessen. Rosa is with her mother and twin brother. Over the noise of cars passing the shop, Rosa’s mother can be heard ordering some Cabanas while Rosa sings a song by her favourite pop group 5ive. As they leave the shop, Rosa says goodbye to the shopkeeper who had given the twins a free meat pie each. Their mother asks them to wait until they...

Roses (Rosa indica) belong to one of the most crucial groups of plants in the floriculture industry. Rosa species have special fragrances of interest to the perfume and pharmaceutical industries. The genetic diversity of plants based on morphological characteristics is difficult to measure under natural conditions due to the influence of environmental factors, which is why a reliable fingerprin...

zThe coding sequence is compared for each pair of genes. Comparisons were done using the gap program of the Wisconsin GCG sequence analysis package. yCHS = chalcone synthase; CHI = chalcone isomerase; DFR = dihydroflavonol reductase. xFirst row for each plant pair presents the percent amino acid similarity. wSecond row for each plant pair presents the percent amino acid identity. vThird row for...

In this study, a taxonomic status of the genus Roemeria in Iran is reviewed. The study of morphological characters of collected and herbarium specimens led to the introducing of two new taxa, namely, R. hybrida subsp. maculata and R. refracta var. alba. In addition, five synonymies are made as following: R. refracta var. albomarginata and R. refracta subsp. occidentalis as synonymies of R. refr...

Autophagy is one of the main mechanisms of degradation and remobilization of macromolecules, and it appears to play an important role in petal senescence. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of autophagy in petal senescence. Autophagic processes were observed by electron microscopy and monodansylcadaverine staining of senescing petals of petunia (Petunia hybrida); autophagy...
