The renewed interest in the use of hybrid zones for studying speciation calls for the identification and study of hybrid zones across a wide range of organisms, especially in long-lived taxa for which it is often difficult to generate interpopulation variation through controlled crosses. Here, we report on the extent and direction of introgression between two members of the "model tree" genus P...

Freshly harvested seed of #1339-1-5, a selection miiade by the late C. H. MYERS, from Wisconsin Hollander, and various strains of Glory cabbage exhibit a pronounced dormancy and uneven germination, thus extending the breeding cycle from 1 to 2 years. This type of dormancy gradually disappears during several weeks of air-dry storage at room temperature, but by this time it is too late for field ...

Viola calcarata L. and dubyana Burnat ex Gremli belong to the V. complex in section Melanium (Violaceae family). For first time, essential oils (EOS) obtained by hydrodistillation from dried flowers, were analyzed GC/MS SPME-GC/MS describe their volatile chemical profile. Differences qualitative quantitative composition between two violets have been found. A total of 43 compounds identified amo...
