Cloning and comparative protein modelling of two MADS-box genes, HsMADS1 and HsMADS2 isolated from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. var. UMKL (roselle) by Othman, Siti N., Yong, S. Y. C, Karjiban, Roghayeh Abedi, Shakri, Adibah

“…It is essential to understand the genetics underlying roselle's flower developmental process by studying MADS-box transcription factor genes that play crucial roles in controlling the development of calyx in flowering plants. Designated as 'HsMADS1' and 'HsMADS2', two MADS-box genes were isolated from the calyx tissues of roselle from different developmental stages using 3'- RACE PCR and primer walking approaches. …”

Mimosa diplotricha (Fabaceae) Recruits Native Pollinators, But Does it Matter? by I.N. Egbon, O.P. Nzie, J. Rotimi

“…In sum, that the population of M. diplotricha is still  expanding in Nigeria against the backdrop of their utilisation by native pollinators is suggestive of a continual recruitment of the pollinators, which may prefer the novel host within a mosaic of widely scattered native flowering plants. Further investigations of pollinators’ choices may be apt to understand the true impact of invasive alien flowering weeds on native pollinators and crop productivity. …”

Response of Ervatamia coronaria to plant growth regulators and chemical fertilization by Hossam Ahmed Ashour, Eman Zaki Othman Mohamed, Asmaa Badr El-din Sayed El-Attar

“…As general, the results indicated that within each level of fertilizer treat- ments, treating plants with different concentrations of PGRs (Kinetin or NAA) resulted in significant increase in tested vegetative growth (in terms of plant height, number of branches plant-1, leaf area, number of leaves plant-1, stem diameter, root length, fresh and dry weights of leaves, stems and roots), flowering parameters (Viz number of flowers/ plant, fresh and dry weights of flowers), chlorophylls content, total carbohydrates, N, P , K%, total indoles and total phenols, gibberellins, auxins and cytokinins compared to control, with superiority of NAA particularly the highest concentrations (100 ppm) . …”

The evolutionary history of plant T2/S-type ribonucleases by Karolis Ramanauskas, Boris Igić

“…We present data and analyses of phylogenetic relationships among T2/S-RNases, and pay special attention to the group that contains the female component of the most widespread system of self-incompatibility in flowering plants. The returned emphasis on the initially identified component of this mechanism yields important conjectures about its evolutionary context. …”

Breeding polyploid Populus: progress and perspective by Xiangyang Kang, Hairong Wei

“…Populus is a genus of 25−30 species of deciduous flowering plants in the family Salicaceae, which are primarily planted in short-rotation planations for producing timber, pulpwood, wooden products as well as bioenergy feedstock; they are also widely planted in agricultural fields and along roadsides as shelter forest belts for windbreak, decoration, and reduction of pollutants and noise. …”

Lost in the bloom: DNA-PKcs in green plants by Koppolu Raja Rajesh Kumar

“…Interestingly, DNA-PKcs has not been detected in angiosperms, or in basal angiosperms which are considered sister groups to all other flowering plants. The long polypeptide and gene length of DNA-PKcs coupled with errors in genome assembly, annotation, and gene prediction, have contributed to the challenges in detecting and extracting DNA-PKcs sequences in plant lineages. …”

Gene expression bias between the subgenomes of allopolyploid hybrids is an emergent property of the kinetics of expression. by Hong An, J Chris Pires, Gavin C Conant

“…Hybridization coupled to polyploidy, or allopolyploidy, has dramatically shaped the evolution of flowering plants, teleost fishes, and other lineages. Studies of recently formed allopolyploid plants have shown that the two subgenomes that merged to form that new allopolyploid do not generally express their genes equally. …”
