The taxonomy of Bambusoideae is in a state of flux and phylogenetic studies are required to help resolve systematic issues. Over 60 taxa, representing all subtribes of Bambuseae and related non-bambusoid grasses were sampled. A combined analysis of five plastid DNA regions, trnL intron, trnL-F intergenic spacer, atpB-rbcL intergenic spacer, rps16 i...

Some species of Spirogyra can anchor to substratum with rod- or rosette-shaped rhizoid (hapteron). The rhizoid differentiation can be induced by cutting algal filaments in a laboratory. Requirement of contact stimulation for rhizoid differentiation has been reported (Nagata in Plant Cell Physiol 14:531–541, 1973a). However, the control mechanism of...

This comprehensive study of early embryology in Ceratopteris richardii combines light microscopy with the first ultrastructural evaluation of any pteridophyte embryo. Emphasis is placed on ontogeny of the foot and placental transfer cells. The embryology of C. richardii shares many similarities with that of other polypodiacious ferns while exhibiti...

We investigated the seedling survival of five evergreen tree species over 3 years inside and outside deer-exclusion fences in a warm temperate evergreen broad-leaved forest on Yakushima Island, Japan. Seedling survival was examined in relation to topography, herbivory by sika deer, and the soil surface environment (i.e., soil surface wetness, light...

Photosynthesis, leaf structure, nitrogen content and nitrogen allocation in photosynthetic functions of Cypripedium flavum were studied in a naturally varying light regime. Light-saturated leaf net photosynthetic rate (Amax) was strongly correlated with leaf dry mass per area (LMA), mesophyll conductance (gm) and area-based leaf nitrogen content (N...

A spermine-based signal transduction pathway plays a defensive role against incompatible pathogens. We identified a novel spermine-responsive cDNA from Nicotiana tabacum that encodes a basic region/leucine zipper protein with a putative transmembrane domain. Identity to Arabidopsis thalianaAtbZIP60 was sufficiently high to name the novel cDNA NtbZI...

Vascular development is a central theme in plant science. However, little is known about the mechanism of vascular development in monocotyledons (compared with dicotyledons). Therefore, we investigated sequential processes of differentiation into various different vascular cells by carrying out detailed observations using serial sections of the bas...

The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene, DcPAL3, was expressed during the synthesis of anthocyanin in suspension-cultured cells of carrot (Daucus carota). There were two putative cis-elements in the DcPAL3 promoter region: the box-L and GCC-box homologs. Both of these are committed to the upregulation of promoter activity. Although box-L is know...

Little attention has been paid to how four dominant shrub species distributed in semi-arid areas respond to the combined effects of temperature and water supply. Seedlings of four species were grown in a glasshouse for eight weeks at air temperatures of 12.5/22.5, 15/25, 17.5/27.5, and 20/30°C (night/day) and with water supplies of 37.5, 75, 112.5,...
