In many plant species, self-incompatibility (SI) is genetically controlled by a single
multiallelic S locus. Previous analysis of S alleles in the Solanaceae, in which S locus …

In this concluding chapter, we review some of the major findings discussed in this book and
their implications for our understanding of the CAM pathway. In particular, we highlight areas …

Most phylogenetic analyses of morphological data agree that Gnetales are a monophyletic
group related to angiosperms and Bennettitales. However, they disagree on whether these …

The two internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA have
become commonly exploited sources of informative variation for interspecific-/intergeneric …

Forty-four actin genes from five angiosperm species were PCR-amplified, cloned, and
sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of 34 of these actins, along with those previously …

The fossil record of dispersed pollen documents that the extant genera Ephedra,
Welwitschia, and Gnetum are the relictual extant remnants of a group of plants that was once …

Phylogenetic comparative analyses combine information on character states and
phylogenetic relationships of taxa to test hypotheses regarding character evolution. These …

Regulation of plant gene transcription by light is mediated by multipartite cis-regulatory units.
Previous attempts to identify structural features that are common to all light-responsive …

Thirtynine yeast isolates or dimorphic fungi were obtained from the hindgut of the lower
termites Mastotermis darwiniensis (Mastotermitidae), Zootermopsis angusticollis, Z …

A new genus and species of Actinidiaceae (Parasaurauia allonensis gen. et sp. nov.) are
established for fossil flowers and fruits from the early Campanian (Late Cretaceous) Buffalo …
