pimpinella anthriscoides/atrophy

Phospholipase D (PLD, EC 3.1.4.4) has been known to be related to various cellular processes in plants. To gain an understanding of the property of the enzyme in Pimpinella brachycarpa, the cDNA of the enzyme was isolated by PCR with degenerate primers, cDNA library screening, and 5' RACE. The

Changes in land use and climate interfere with grassland ecosystem processes. Here I experimentally investigated the combined effects of land-use change related litter cover and contrasting water supply on seedling emergence. In this context, the role of the initial relative position of seeds, i.e.
