A hyphomycetous fungus isolated from montane fen soil in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia, had obscurely sympodial conidiogenous cells that suggested a link to the heterogeneous genus Leptodontidium. Sequence analysis of the nuclear ribosomal small subunit and internal transcribed spacer region, however, disclosed that the fungus was an anamorphic member of a clade containing the cleistothecial a...

In the course of the investigations on fungi isolated from human skin by the second author, several strains were encountered of a fungus with sympodial conidium formation, which produce a litmus-like pigment. The same organism was recently isolated from air in the Netherlands; one of the aerial isolates, however, failed to produce any pigment. The species mentioned above resembled three strains...

Cryptocentrum beckendorfii is described and illustrated from a single cultivated plant reputedly from the Amazonian slopes in the Cuzco region of Andean Peru. This species is similar to C. pseudobulbosum, also from the Amazonian slopes of the Andes, with which it shares sympodial habit with pseudobulbs unlike most species of the genus, which are monopodial and lack pseudobulbs. It differs from ...

Cymes and racemes form two broad types of inflorescence architecture. Racemes are monopodial and bear axillary flowers, but in cymes the main stem ends in an apical flower and is continued sympodially by a series of lateral shoots. In these shoots floral identity is delayed by a previously unknown mechanism. We show that the MADS-box transcription factor EXTRAPETALS (EXP) transiently represses ...

Polymorphic expressed sequence tag - simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers derived from major cereal crops were used to assess the genetic diversity of the USDA temperate bamboo collection consisting of 92 accessions classified in 11 separate genera and 44 species. A total of 211 bands were detected with a mean number of alleles per locus of 8.440. Phylogenetic relationships were determined ...

The coastal water of Aboru village is one site with high diversity marine biological resources such as brown algae. purpose this study was to determine the morphological character algae Turbinaria from Village. procedure consists field collection, and observations in laboratory. characters observed were presence/absence rhizoid/holdfast, cauloid/stipe, phylloid/blades, pyrenoid/vesicle (air bub...

In order to increase the fiber productivity in cotton, it is imperative genetically improve component traits and such effort can be quickened by use of molecular markers. Totally, seventy-four simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers that were previously shown linked fibre strength, boll weight, elongation used differentiate Gossypium hirsutum var. MCU5 TCH1218 among them two found polymorphic Thes...
