Plants were grown in seven locations in Kenya covering a wide range of altitudes (50-2000 m) at latitudes ranging from 0 ° to 4°S. Experiments spanned two seasons, and were conducted in normal field conditions as well as under clear polythene enclosures constructed at six of the sites ...
In Kenya, at Kabete (1941 m), GA3 applications at 100 and 250 mg 11 promoted flowering in cabbage cvs Sugar Loaf and Giant Drumhead but cv Golden Acre did not flower. The same levels of GA3 promoted flowering in kale cv Collards, but failed in cv Thousand Headed. There was a small ...
To address these knowledge gaps in our understanding of leaf and flower microbiomes, we focused our investigation on the floral and epiphytic (leaf) microbiomes of wild flowering plants in the Austrian Alps. We hypothesize that the unique environmental conditions of alpine habitats, characterized by ...
ering) in most temperate zone plants is commonly assumed to respond to two temperature-dependent processes: the accumu- lation of chilling to the level required for the completion of endodormancy, and the accumulation of heat needed for buds to ...
We estimate that 277 plant species in Kenya (c. 4.61% of the total angiosperm flora) are adapted for pollination by hawkmoths. Floral tube lengths of these plants have a bimodal distribution, reflecting the existence of two hawkmoth guilds differing in tongue length. Hawkmoths exhibited ...

The majority of flowering-plant species can survive complete air-dryness in their seed and/or pollen. Relatively few species (‘resurrection plants’) express this desiccation tolerance in their foliage. Knowledge of the regulation of desiccation toleran
