Human migrations across geographic boundaries can facilitate the introduction of new husbandry practices and dispersal of plants and animals, resulting in changes in biodiversity. As previously demonstrated, the 12th century BCE Philistine migration-to the southern Levantine littoral, involved the transportation of pigs from Europe, engendering long term genetic displacement of local Near Easte...

Based on herbarium material collected in Bolivia, a species new to science, Philibertia woodii H.A. Keller & Goyder is described and illustrated here. The similar its vegetative floral morphology latiflora (Griseb.) Goyder, P. longistyla speciosa (Malme) Goyder. allows the list of taxa genus be increased 45.

Pollinator-mediated reproductive isolation is a major factor in driving the diversification of flowering plants. Studies of floral traits involved in reproductive isolation have focused nearly exclusively on visual signals, such as flower color. The role of less obvious signals, such as floral scent, has been studied only recently. In particular, the genetics of floral volatiles involved in med...

There is a great need to implement low-cost and user-friendly methods for further propagation of biogas technology in India. Environment unfriendly disposal of floral waste causes serious environmental pollution. Literature shows a limited research work regarding the anaerobic digestion of floral waste for biogas generation.  The present experimental work aims to propagate floral waste as a sus...

Vaccinium sulawesiense Mustaqim & P.W.Fritsch, a newly discovered endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, is described. This species similar V. simulans Sleumer but differs in having an acuminate leaf apex, larger floral organs, and absence of trichomes the upper half inner surface corolla disk. known from two specimens, one mid-montane rain forest Mamasa Regency, Sulawesi Barat Province another Po...

Students were sampled from two universities in southern Taiwan 1 September 2022 to 31 October 2022. This study examined the factors affecting floral design ability of 125 university students by analyzing relationship between demographic variables, cognitive styles, working memory, and ability. The results revealed that style, scores participants 2.82 (standard deviation [SD]: 0.35), 5.06 (SD: 1...

In flowering plants, the founder cells from which reproductive organs form reside in structures called floral meristems. Recent molecular genetic studies have revealed that the specification of floral meristems is tightly controlled by regulatory networks that underpin several coordinated programmes, from the integration of flowering signals to floral organ formation. A notable feature of certa...
