A checklist of the 39 species of blow flies (Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae) so far known to occur in Venezuela is provided, based on a thorough literature review and the examination of ca. 500 specimens deposited in the main entomological collections of the country. Data from the literature and museum collections were used to generate distribution maps for 37 species. Three species are rec...

Hook. f. & Thoms. (Menispermaceae), which is a succulent climbing shrub distributed throughout most of India, has been reported (1). Polysaccharides are often subjected to different chemical modifications in order to gain information on their sequences and possible configurations. Methylation analysis has proven to be valuable in following the outcome of such modifications. The present work inv...

Liriope platyphylla Wang et Tang (L. platyphylla) is named Liriope muscari with Binomial name and called big blue lilyturf, lilyturf, border grass and monkey grass with common name [1]. It is widely used as one of the 50 fundamental herbs in traditional Oriental medicine; the species is one member of low, herbaceous flowing plats, which grows commonly in the shady forests of East Asia including...

Speciation and allopolyploidization in cereals may be accompanied by dramatic changes in abundance of centromeric repeated transposable elements. Here we demonstrate that the reverse transcriptase part of Ty3/gypsy centromeric retrotransposon (RT-CR) is highly conservative in the segmental hexaploid Thinopyrum intermedium (JrJvsSt) and its possible diploid progenitors Th. bessarabicum (Jb), Pse...

Bergenin is a C-glucoside of 4-O-methyl gallic acid is a colourless crystalline polyphenol isolated from medicinal plants like Bergenial crassifolia (B. crassifolia), Mallotus philippinensis (M. philippinensis), Corylopsis spicata (C. spicata), Caesalpinia digyna (C. digyna), Mallotus japonicus (M. japonicus), Sacoglottis gabonensis (S. gabonensis) etc. It is hydrolyzable tannin and an isocouma...

Mycoheterotrophic species have abandoned an autotrophic lifestyle and obtain carbon exclusively from mycorrhizal fungi. Although these species have evolved independently in many plant families, such events have occurred most often in the Orchidaceae, resulting in the highest concentration of these species in the tracheophytes. Studies of mycoheterotrophic species' mycobionts have generally reve...

A genecological approach was used to explore genetic variation in adaptive traits in Pseudoroegneria spicata, a key restoration grass, in the intermountain western United States. Common garden experiments were established at three contrasting sites with seedlings from two maternal parents from each of 114 populations along with five commercial releases commonly used in restoration. Traits assoc...
