transverse thin cell layer sections excised from in vitro scales of lilium ledebourii were cultured on murashige and skoog (ms) medium supplemented with various plant growth regulators (pgrs) at different concentrations. although, bulblets were produced on pgrfree ms medium during organogenesis, addition of 0.25 mg l-1 6-benzyladenine or 5.0 mg l-1 indole-3-acetic acid to the medium increased t...

Yuri Manin, a renowned mathematician, observed that it is much easier for a person raised in a right-brain culture to adjust to the left-brain environment than vice versa. In this paper, we provide a possible explanation for this phenomenon. 1 Manin’s Observation: Formulation of the Problem Manin’s observation: formulation of the problem. In his talk [?], Yuri Manin, a renowned mathematician, m...

Lilium cut flowers have commercial importance and extending their vase life is vital. An increase in the quality quantity can directly viability price realization of commercially important like lilium. Shelf lilium flower influenced by using different preservative chemicals sucrose added solution. Such an extension be achieved via chemical treatment. The trial was carried out to examine effect ...

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Bernhard Kräutler at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. The image depicts the autumnal "disappearance" of chlorophyll and the ensuing rapid formation of colorless phyllobilins. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.201404783.

Lilium is an important commercial market flower bulb. qRT-PCR is an extremely important technique to track gene expression levels. The requirement of suitable reference genes for normalization has become increasingly significant and exigent. The expression of internal control genes in living organisms varies considerably under different experimental conditions. For economically important Lilium...

The purpose of the present study was to examine the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), gastrin (GAS), cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon (GLUC) endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract of frugivorous Phillostomidae bats, Sturnira lilium and Artibeus cinerius, to clarify the correlation between distribution of cell types and their relative frequency, with feeding habits. Five portions o...

Monocots are one of the most diverse, successful and economically important clades of angiosperms. We attempt to analyse the complete plastid genome sequences of two lilies and their lengths were 152,793bp in Lilium longiflorum (Liliaceae) and 155,510bp in Alstroemeria aurea (Alstroemeriaceae). Phylogenetic analyses were performed for 28 taxa including major lineages of monocots using the seque...
