IDENTIFICATION OF A R2R3-MYB GENE REGULATING ANTHOCYANIN BIOSYNTHESIS AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ITS VARIATION AND FLOWER COLOR DIFFERENCE IN LOTUS (NELUMBO ADANS.)

Identification of a R2R3-MYB gene regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis and relationships between its variation and flower color difference in lotus (Nelumbo Adans.)

The lotus (Nelumbonaceae: Nelumbo Adans.) is a highly desired ornamental plant, comprising only two extant species, the sacred lotus (N.nucifera Gaerten.) with red flowers and the American lotus (N.lutea Willd.) with yellow flowers.Flower color is the most obvious difference of two species.To better understand the mechanism of flower color differen

Natural history of the hyperdominant tree, Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) Kuntze, in the Amazon River estuary

Abstract Pentaclethra macroloba is a hyperdominant species with multiple uses in the Amazon.This species tolerates varying flood amplitudes, however the effect of flood topographic gradient on its ecophysiology remains unclear.We want to know if individuals from the high (10 trees) and low (20 trees) várzea show distinct phenological patterns as a
