Published: May 2002

[reaction: see text] Transient silenes that are strongly influenced by reversed Si[double bond]C bond polarization are formed upon heating of tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamides. The silenes are trapped with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to quantitatively yield only one of the possible diastereomers of the functionalized cyclic allylsilanes.

Tetracycline but not sulfamethazine inhibits early root growth of wild grassland species, while seed germination is hardly affected by either antibiotic.

Seed germination and early growth of grassland species might be influenced by veterinary antibiotics that are extensively released into agricultural habitats. Therefore, we tested impacts of the commonly used antibiotics tetracycline and sulfamethazine, single and in mixture, on seed germination and seedling root growth of six typical species of temperate European grasslands (Carum carvi, Centaurea jacea, Galium mollugo, Plantago lanceolata, Silene latifolia, Dactylis glomerata). In standardised germination experiments, we assessed three germination variables (germination percentage, mean germination time, synchrony of germination) and one post-germination variable (seedling root length) under different environmentally realistic antibiotic concentrations (0.

Speciation is the process leading to the emergence of new species. While being usually progressive, it can sometimes be fast with rapid emergence of reproductive barriers leading to high level of reproductive isolation. Some reproductive barriers might leave signatures in the genome, through elevated level of genetic differentiation at specific loci.

Both species show homogametic females (XX) and heterogametic males (XY).•Here we developed two assays (primer pairs and ) for molecular sexing of and , targeting length polymorphisms between the X and Y-linked copies of the spermidine synthase gene.

Introduction: Plants undergo various natural changes that dramatically modify their genomes. One is polyploidization and the second is hybridization. Both are regarded as key factors in plant evolution and result in phenotypic differences in different plant organs.

High-throughput sequencing of herbarium specimens' DNA with short-read platforms has helped explore many biological questions. Here, for the first time, we investigate the potential of using herbarium specimens as a resource for long-read DNA sequencing technologies. We use target capture of 48 low-copy nuclear loci in 12 herbarium specimens of as a basis for long-read sequencing using SMRT PacBio Sequel.
