WHIGHAM, D. F., T. E. JORDAN AND J. MIKLAS (Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Box 28, Edgewater, MD 21037). Biomass and resource allocation of Typha angustifolia L. (Typhaceae): The effect of within and between year variations in salinity. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 116: 364-370. 1989.-In a brackish wetland dominated by Typha angustifolia, we found similar aboveground and belowground produ...

Silyl and acetyl derivatives of sporopollenin from the pollen of Typha angustifolia L. were prepared. The derivatized products were readily soluble in piperidine-d11 and could be investigated employing one- and two-dimensional proton and carbon NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy (1H,1H-COSY and 13C,1H-HETCOR techniques). For the first time, a two dimensional 13C,1H-HETCOR NMR spectru...

Many wetlands of the Great Lakes region are increasingly dominated by species of cattails, including the native Typha latifolia, the introduced Typha angustifolia, and their hybrid Typha glauca. Cattails are observed to form dense stands of live and dead biomass that may reduce plant diversity and compromise wetland habitat value. Cattail expansion has been used as an indicator of environmental...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in plant responses to environmental stress. In this work, we used high-throughput sequencing to analyze transcriptome and small RNAs (sRNAs) in Typha angustifolia under cadmium (Cd) stress. 57,608,230 raw reads were obtained from deep sequencing of a pooled cDNA library. Sequence assembly and analysis yielded 102,473 unigenes. We subsequently sequenced tw...

Two major emergent macrophytes, Phragmites australis and Typha angustifolia, show a clear zonation with respect to water depth, i.e., P. occupies shallower than T. angustifolia. However, the reasons for this interspecific difference is unclear. Therefore, study focused on features that enable angustifolia survive at greater depths australis. In both outdoor greenhouse experiments, did not deepe...
