DIFFERENT DIVERGENCE PROCESSES OF ISOGLOSSES OF FOLK NOMENCLATURE BETWEEN WILD TREES AND RICE LANDRACES IMPLY THE NEED FOR DIFFERENT CONSERVATION PLANNING BASED ON THE TYPE OF PLANT RESOURCES

Different divergence processes of isoglosses of folk nomenclature between wild trees and rice landraces imply the need for different conservation planning based on the type of plant resources

Abstract Background The intensification of production and socio-economic changes have accelerated the loss of local traditional knowledge and plant resources.Understanding the distribution and determinants of such biocultural diversity is essential in planning efficient surveys Washer and conservation efforts.Because the concept of biocultural dive

Seed dormancy loss from dry after-ripening is associated with increasing gibberellin hormone levels in Arabidopsis thaliana

IntroductionThe seeds of many plants are dormant and unable to germinate at maturity, but gain the ability to germinate through after-ripening during dry storage.The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) stimulates seed dormancy, whereas gibberellin A (GA) stimulates dormancy loss and germination.MethodsTo determine whether dry after-ripening alters the pote
