The events that accompany female meiosis in Lilium parallel almost exactly those characteristic of male cells. The megaspore mother-cell is first cut off from investing tissue by a callosic wall, and this isolated cytoplasm undergoes a phase of comprehensive dedifferentiation. Not only does the major part of the ribosome population appear to be removed from both the cytoplasm and plastids, but ...

As a popular ornamental flower, potted lily is an important object of lily breeding. Paclobutrazol, a chemical growth retardation compound, is often used to dwarf plant in producing potted lilies. However, in recent years, the plants with inherited dwarf traits by using genetic engineer breeding technology are being developed. The studies on molecular basis of lily dwarfism will offer some targ...

Gene flow between species may last a long time in plants. Reticulation inevitably causes difficulties in phylogenetic reconstruction. In this study, we looked into the genetic divergence and phylogeny of 20 Lilium species based on multilocus analyses of 8 genes of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA), the internally transcribed nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrITS) spacer and 20 loci extracted from the expressed se...

one of the most effective ways to propagate lilium is by using tissue culture techniques, preferably through bulblet production. in addition to the surviving percentage of lilium bulbs after transplantation, the small size of in vitro bulblets compared to commercial bulbs and bulblets‟ dormancy are the most important constraints to commercializing lilium micropropagation. different concentratio...

Biotic and abiotic stresses are the major causes of crop loss in lily worldwide. In this study, we retrieved 12 defense-related expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from the NCBI database and cloned, characterized, and established seven of these genes as stress-induced genes in Lilium formolongi. Using rapid amplification of cDNA ends PCR (RACE-PCR), we successfully cloned seven full-length mRNA sequ...

The present investigation entitled, Evaluation of Different Lilium Hybrids (Longiflorum asiaticum) for Better Growth, Flower and Bulb Yield Under Shadenet in Prayagraj Agro Climatic Conditions was under taken the Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj, U.P, during winter season (2022-2023). experiment laid o...

Senescence is a tightly regulated process and both compartmentalisation and regulated activation of degradative enzymes is critical to avoid premature cellular destruction. Proteolysis is a key process in senescent tissues, linked to disassembly of cellular contents and nutrient remobilisation. Cysteine proteases are responsible for most proteolytic activity in senescent petals, encoded by a ge...

We have examined the characteristics of Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins (annexins) in maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles and tip-growing pollen tubes of Lilium longiflorum. In maize, there are three such proteins, p35, p33, and p23. Partial sequence analysis reveals that peptides from p35 and p33 have identity to members of the annexin family of animal proteins and to annexins from ...
