Flowering plants are a major component of the biosphere providing food and habitats for terrestrial animals1. They have adapted to and diversified in a wide variety of environments2,3. Understanding the evolutionary processes underlying the global spatiotemporal patterns of flowering plant diversity has ...

Molecular characterization of Colletotrichum species causing Begonia anthracnose in Sri Lanka Anthracnose disease is known to affect many tropical and subtropical fruits, vegetables and also certain cut-flowers and foliage plants. The disease was known to be caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides or C. ...
The rapid diversification and high species richness of flowering plants is regarded as ‘Darwin’s second abominable mystery’. Today the global spatiotemporal pattern of plant diversification remains elusive. Using a newly generated genus-level phylogen
Sri LankaA decoction of leaves and stems of Anisomeles indica (Lamiaceae) is claimed to possess anti-inflammatory activity in Sri Lankan traditional medicine. The plants at both preflowering and flowering stages are used as an anti-inflammatory agent. However, the anti-inflammatory activity of the...
Henckelia humboldtianus Gardner (Ceylon Rock Primrose), an endemic species to Sri Lanka, is a potential new flowering potted plant. This study investigated the role of gibberellins (GA3) in controlling vegetative growth and flowering of H. humboldtianus plants. H. humboldtianus plantlets, micro...
In addition, inflorescences per plant, inflorescence length, and number of open flowers per inflorescence were all significantly greater for Ni-treated plants relative to plants from the other treatments. Although high levels of Ni are not essential for growth and reproduction of the species, we ...
