Although the importance of the endosperm as a food store in many angiosperm seeds is
well known, its significance during early embryogenesis has been neglected. In many …

Pigment chemistry explains part of the many nuances which are discernible by eye …

Morphological analysis and electrophoresis of seed proteins of fiveLolium species disclosed
that they form two distinct groups corresponding to those recognized from compatibility data.…

Total chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) from Solanum incanum, a wild relative of eggplant, was used
to probe total DNAs from 27 accessions of S. melongena (eggplant), S. incanum sensu lato …
