| aflp analysis of genetic variability in new guinea impatiens. | new guinea impatiens ( impatiens hawkeri) is an economically important floral crop, however, little work has been conducted to further our understanding of the genetics of this crop. in this study, we used amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) technology to investigate the level of polymorphism present among 41 commercial cultivars of new guinea impatiens, study their genetic relatedness, and assess the genetic diversity in this material. an efficient dna extraction protocol was develope ... | 2003 | 12750794 |
| petaloidy and petal identity mads-box genes in the balsaminoid genera impatiens and marcgravia. | impatiens and marcgravia have striking morphological innovations associated with the flowers. one of the sepals in impatiens is spurred and petaloid, while in marcgravia the petals are fused into a cap and nectary cups are associated with the inflorescence. balsaminaceae (impatiens) and marcgraviaceae have surprisingly been shown to be closely related, since both belong to the balsaminoid clade of ericales (basal asterids). however, several thorough morphological studies thus far have not reveal ... | 2006 | 16856983 |
| ethnopharmacological survey among migrants living in the southeast atlantic forest of diadema, são paulo, brazil. | understanding how people of diverse cultural backgrounds have traditionally used plants and animals as medicinal substances during displacements is one of the most important objectives of ethnopharmacological studies. an ethnopharmacological survey conducted among migrants living in the southeast atlantic forest remnants (diadema, são paulo, brazil) is presented herein. | 2010 | 21034478 |
