Flowering Quince is a thorny shrub that is well-known for its vivid red, pink, or orange blooms. It’s quite common in Texas. 25. Japanese Pieris Botanical Name: Pieris japonica These plants need deep watering just once a week and are incredibly low maintenance. 26. Snowball Viburnum farmho...

One of the great things about staghorn sumac is its ability to tolerate a wide range of soils. It will happily grow in rocky, dry, and nutrient-poor soil, making it agreat choice for erosion control. This ability to grow where other plants won’t means you’ll often see staghorn sumac...
Conifers produce millions of pollen grains, each with little flaps that help with wind dispersal. Though some flowering plants, such as grasses, depend on wind dispersal, the majority invite the help of insects, birds and animals for pollination. This can be done by displaying colorful blossoms...
The SECP ecoregion, stretching from east Texas to east Massachusetts and south through Florida (Fig.1), is a biodiversity hotspot and home to over 6000 species of vascular plants, over 25% of which are endemic to the region (Sorrie and Weakley2006). Nonparallel phenological shifts of plants...
Conclusions: We provide the most comprehensive dataset of plastomes to date and a well-resolved phylogenetic tree, which together provide a strong foundation for future evolutionary studies of flowering plants. Keywords: Mesangiospermae, Tree of life, Interfamilial relationships, Plastome, PPA II Back...
A team at Texas AgriLife Research has discovered a gene that regulates sorghum flowering, according to the proceedings. "Forenergy crops, we want to prevent plants from flowering so they accumulate as much biomass as possible for bioenergy/biofuels production," said Dr. John Mullet, AgriLife Res...
Flowering at an appropriate time is crucial for seed maturity and reproductive success in all flowering plants. Soybean (Glycine max) is a typical short day plant, and both photoperiod and autonomous pathway genes exist in soybean genome. However, little is known about the functions of soybean au...
Genetic data, such as a cross between these plants and a heterozygous plant, should be neces- sary to conclude if the RoKSN locus is responsible for this recurrent blooming. Given that the SNP can affect the protein structure (non-synonymous SNP), we had assumed that the protein activity ...
