The origin and rapid diversification of the angiosperms (Darwin's "Abominable Mystery") has engaged generations of researchers. Here, we examine the floral genetic programs of phylogenetically pivotal angiosperms (water lily, avocado, California poppy, and Arabidopsis) and a nonflowering seed plant (a cycad) to obtain insight into the origin and subsequent evolution of the flower.

Poppy seed production is susceptible to abiotic and biotic stress weed infestation, which introduces the risk of total crop failure. For purpose minimization, poppy was grown in additive intercropping systems with early late sown white clover spring barley at three different densities a year field trial assess their roles cropping while adding ecological benefits rotation. yielded between 798.7...

We investigate the relation between the transparency of financial statements and the distribution of stock returns. Using earnings management as a measure of opacity, we find that opacity is associated with higher R-squares, indicating less revelation of firm-specific information. Moreover, opaque firms are more prone to stock price crashes, consistent with the prediction of the Jin-Myers (2006...

In a study of 102 bronchograms for purposes of comparing the contrast medium Visciodol(R) (a mixture of iodized peanut oil and powdered sulfanilamide) with Iodochlorol(R) (an iodized poppyseed oil), it was observed that Visciodol is more readily administered, produces better bronchograms with less alveolar filling and clears from the lungs far more rapidly and completely than does Iodochlorol. ...
