When designing gardens, one of the first things I do is focus on key structural plants that will provide interest throughout the year while also serving a myriad of functions. Often called ‘statement plants’ or ‘architectural plants,’ structural plants have strong, unique, and striking ...

Stress and hormonal treatments and expression profiling using qPCR. For qPCR experiments, Morus indica (MI) leaves were obtained from field grown plants from the gardens of Department of Plant Molecular Biology and Department of Botany, University of Delhi, (New Delhi). All leaves were at ...
Most town gardens are flat, which is all the more reason to make them 3D by assembling an arch, putting up a pergola or bringing in a few obelisks. Think of these as permanent, last-a-lifetime pieces that look handsome without any plants.A solid wooden pergola gives a garden huge ...
Silvia Vignolini is in the department of chemistry at the University of Cambridge in the UK and has been exploring how plants use cellulose to make nanostructures. She first got interested when looking at the intense blue of the fruits of an African plant –Pollia condensataor marble berry – ...
Using existing plant material or installing plants that provide shade over paving areas, which can include playgrounds. Install shade structures that include energy generation systems like solar cells, thermal collectors, or wind turbines. Install shade structures with specific solar reflectance (SR) valu...
One of the common and main uses of trellis is as a support for climbing plants like vines,roses, or ivy.It helps the plants to rise and grow.It not only maximizes your space but also adds natural beauty. On the other hand, we all know that the climate of Los Angeles is very sunny...
The native plant materials that have been reintroduced around the grounds are more appropriate for the weather, soils, and USDA Plant Hardiness Zone. These plants readily adapt to the environment and, once established, allow natural processes of green infrastructure that doesn’t require false or ...
A windmill devoid of central support and additional functions, has entirely new structural components, e.g. a wind vane shaft with a lengthened cap with a small, preferably wooden gear ring at the end, useful for house and other gardens ...
The evolution of PPR genes in plants lacking an editing target Sequences for putative orthologs toCRR4,CRR21,CLB19, andOTP82were obtained for representative Brassicaceae species through PCR and bulk sequencing (Additional file3). Each putative PPR gene shares the same basic architecture in terms of...
