Access to fixed or available forms of nitrogen limits the productivity of crop plants and thus
food production. Nitrogenous fertilizer production currently represents a significant expense …

Background Nitrogen is an essential nutrient in plant growth. The ability of a plant to supply
all or part of its requirements from biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) thanks to interactions …

Cannabis sativa has been employed for thousands of years, primarily as a source of a stem
fiber (both the plant and the fiber termed “hemp”) and a resinous intoxicant (the plant and its …

We present an integrative model predicting associations among epiphytism, the tank habit,
entangling seeds, C 3 vs. CAM photosynthesis, avian pollinators, life in fertile, moist …

During the 1990s, reconstruction of flowering plant phylogeny took a great step forward.
Rapidly accumulating DNA sequences, in particular from the plastid gene rbcL (eg Chase et …

• Premise of the study: Recent analyses employing up to five genes have provided
