Purpose. The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphological parameters Lycium spp. seeds from collections in M. Hryshko National Botanical Garden (NBS) NAS Ukraine. Methods. Cultivars and varieties three species (Lycium barbarum, L. chinense, truncatum) were studied period 2016 till 2019. following morphometric measurments conducted: weight, length, width index shape. Basic statistic...

Microscopically visible chromatin is partitioned into two major components in Arabidopsis thaliana nuclei. On one hand, chromocenters are conspicuous foci of highly condensed "heterochromatic" domains that contain mostly repeated sequences. On the other hand, less condensed and gene-rich "euchromatin" emanates from these chromocenters. This differentiation, together with the dynamic nature of c...

Prey can invest in a variety of defensive traits when balancing risk of predation against that of starvation. What remains unknown is the relative costs of different defensive traits and how prey reconcile investment into these traits when energetically limited. We tested the simple allocation model of prey defense, which predicts an additive effect of increasing predation risk and resource ava...

To accelerate domestication of Miscanthus, an important energy crop, 244 replicated genotypes, including two different species and their hybrids, were analysed for morphological traits and biomass yield over three growing seasons following an establishment phase of 2 years in the largest Miscanthus diversity trial described to date. Stem and leaf traits were selected that contributed both direc...

The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health data were used to test predictions from life history theory. We hypothesized that (1) in young adulthood an emerging life history strategy would exist as a common factor underlying many life history traits (e.g., health, relationship stability, economic success), (2) both environmental harshness and unpredictability would account for unique v...
