We conducted yard plant biodiversity inventories in 2014 at a subset of the households (81) that responded to the neighborhood surveys in order to assess multiple types of variety in residents’ yards, including lawn species richness and flowering plant genus richness (i.e., biodiversity), as we...
In the third and fourth datasets, we provide molecular sequencing data for bacteria and fungi, respectively. Both datasets have eight sheets with different levels of classification, i.e., Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, and OTUs. The first three columns have the same n...
species (ROS) metabolism, cell-wall modification/reinforcement, secondary metabolic pathways, phytoalexin (like resveratrol) production, pathogenesis-related proteins such as PR-1, PR-4 and PR-10, and phytohormone-based signal transduction [130]. Comparison of melon varieties sensitive and resistant t...
We found 233 srRNA sequences that were present also in our dataset 3 at least at ‘genus’ level (see Methods). After phylogeny reconstruction by ML model, we removed 12 species from the tree because their branch lengths were zero, which is not useful for PIC analysis. Moreover, a ...
Hu Renchuan, a member of the research team and an associate researcher from the Guangxi Key Laboratory of TCM Quality Standards, said that the main varieties of Vernicia, or tung oil tree, have been mainly grown in areas of China with acidic soil, but the new species Vernicia calcicola was...
(see Fig.1). To circumvent this problem, we used the average standard deviation of trait values at the given taxonomic level, e.g., species, genus, family or all vascular plants. This average is an approximation of the standard deviation to be expected for an individual taxon, if a ...
The genusPulmonaria(Boraginaceae) represents a taxonomically complex group of species in which morphological similarity contrasts with striking karyological variation. The presence of different numbers of chrom... Lucie Kobrlová, Jana Čížková, Veronika Zoulová, Kateřina Vejvodová and Eva H...
Ocotillos (Fouquieriaspecies). This genus of 11 species of spiny semi-succulent to succulent woody shrubs or trees is endemic to the southwestern US and Mexico. These xerophytic (arid or desert loving) species are extremely responsive to rainfall. For most of the year they are leafless, but...
Glasshouse plants are species that trap warmth via specialized morphology and physiology, mimicking a human glasshouse. In the Himalayan alpine region, the highly specialized glasshouse morphology has independently evolved in distinct lineages to adapt to intensive UV radiation and low temperature. Here we...
A revision of Rhizobium Frank 1889, with an emended description of the genus, and the inclusion of all species of Agrobacterium Conn 1942 and Allorhizobium undicola de Lajudie et al. 1998 as new combinations: Rhizobium radiobacter, R. rhizogenes, R. rubi, R. undicola and R. vitis. Int....
