Illumina-based transcriptomic analysis on recalcitrant seeds of Panax notoginseng for the dormancy release during the after-ripening process.

Panax notoginseng (Burk) F.H. Chen is an economically and medicinally important plant of the family Araliacease, with seed dormancy being a key factor limiting the extended cultivation of P.

[Characteristics of photosynthesis and light energy partitioning in Amorphophallus xiei grown along a light-intensity gradient.].

The objective of the present study was to examine the adaptation strategy of Amorphophallus xiei, a shade-demanding species, grown under different levels of light intensity. The responses of leaf to photosynthetic active radiation, CO and simulated sunflecks were analyzed in A. xiei grown under 100% (high light), 32.
