The supposed fern Onychiopsis psilotoides from the English Wealden (Lower Cretaceous) reinterpreted as a lycopodCanadian Science Publishing - Tập 64 Số 7 - Trang 1453-1466 - 1986
Judith E. Skog
Specimens that had been previously considered to represent a fertile fern, Onychiopsis psilotoides (Stokes et Webb) Ward from the English Wealden, have been restudied and are here considered to represent a new genus (Tanydorus) in a new family within the Lycopodiales. Evidence for this new classification of the material includes the combination of a spiral (helical) arrangement of the lea...... hiện toàn bộ
Histochemistry of lignin and suberin deposition in boundary layers formed after wounding in various plant species and organsCanadian Science Publishing - Tập 65 Số 9 - Trang 1886-1892 - 1987
P. A. Rittinger, Alan R. Biggs, David R. Peirson
Wound responses in a variety of injured plant tissues were assessed using conventional lignin tests and fluorescence techniques for suberin detection in tissues present at the time of wounding. The tissue assessed included twigs of four conifer species, barley and cherry foliage, fern rachis, potato tuber, carrot root, musksmelon cotyledons, and cucumber hypocotyl. Apple leaves infected b...... hiện toàn bộ
Differentiation and cell wall degrading enzymes in the obligately biotrophic rust fungus Uromyces viciae-fabaeCanadian Science Publishing - Tập 73 Số S1 - Trang 624-631 - 1995
H. B. Deising, Martina Rauscher, Marc Haug, Stefan Heiler
Rust fungi differentiate a series of complex infection structures to infect their host plants. Artificial membranes providing a signal for the induction of infection structure differentiation have been used to study events taking place during early stages of host–pathogen interaction. During the prepenetration phase, serine esterases, one of which shows cutinase activity, appear to be imp...... hiện toàn bộ
Somatic embryogenesis in conifersCanadian Science Publishing - Tập 69 Số 9 - Trang 1873-1899 - 1991
T. E. Tautorus, Larry C. Fowke, David I. Dunstan
Substantial progress has been made towards the development of systems for in vitro embryogenesis in conifers. Since the first report of somatic embryogenesis from zygotic embryos of Picea abies in 1985, cultured explants of at least 18 different coniferous species have been induced to produce somatic embryos. Somatic embryos have been cryopreserved, grown in liquid suspensions, and mature...... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of lignin and nitrogen on the decomposition of litter in nutrient-poor ecosystems: a theoretical approachCanadian Science Publishing - Tập 65 Số 6 - Trang 1116-1120 - 1987
Frank Berendse, Björn Berg, Ernesto Bosatta
A model is developed to study the dynamics of carbon and nitrogen in decomposing substrates that contain different organic compounds: (i) lignin, (ii) carbohydrates "masked" by lignin compounds, and (iii) free carbohydrates. Under conditions both of carbon limitation and of nitrogen limitation the model predicts a negative linear relationship between lignin concentration and rate of mass ...... hiện toàn bộ
