Evaluation of the pistillate flower abscission (PFA) potential of UC-67-13 and UC-67-11 was continued at two sites. At a high PFA site UC-67-13 PFA was only moderately lower than Serr for the third year. UC-67-11 demonstrated low PFA potential for a seconq year at this site. Higher PFA potential of UC-67-13 than UC-67 -11 was also found at a second site for a second year. No further evaluation ...

Mollinedia (Monimiaceae) presents numerous microendemic species, and its centre of diversity is in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, where more than half species occur. The taxonomy can be challenging because their morphological genetic variations interpreted as a response to geographic isolation rather circumscription for different species. In this paper, we describe pignalii Lírio & Pauli, f...

Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons constitute the majority of the content of angiosperm genomes, but their evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a putative full-length (~9550 bp) Ty1/copia-like retrotransposon in Excoecaria agallocha and its evolution in Euphorbiaceae. The so-called EARE-1 is phylogenetically closely relat...

The aim of the present study was to determine content naphthoquinones (juglone and hydrojuglone glycosides) in different tissues walnut plants (Juglans regia L.) through growing season, for French cultivar 'Franquette' Slovenian 'Rubina'. Husk, leaves, bark, catkin pistillates were studied. Naphthoquinones contents catkins (male flowers) (female J. regia, have best our knowledge not been define...

Honckenya peploides is the most common plant species on the island of Surtsey. It arrived in 1967 and after a juvenile period of 4 years it produced seeds and had increased its number from below 100 to several millions. Most populations had the individuals distributed in a regular or random pattern, suggesting that intraspecific competition is important. H. peploides has a subdioecious reproduc...
