Comparison of colchicine content between hysteranthous and synanthous colchicum species in different seasons

TL;DR: The observations under wild conditions showed, that the leaves of appeared with flowers in the same stage of life cycle (synanthous) in C. robustum, while in case of C. kotschyi and C. speciosum flowers occurred first and leaves later, in another developmental stage (hysteranthous).

Feeding behaviour, diet selection of goats and nutritive value of browse species in sub-humid subtropical savannah, South Africa.

TL;DR: This document summarizes current capabilities, research and operational priorities, and plans for further studies that were established at the 2015 USGS workshop on quantitative hazard assessments of earthquake-triggered landsliding and liquefaction in the Central American region.

Population studies of ultraviolet-B radiation responses in white clover (Trifolium repens L.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand

TL;DR: UV -B tolerance was greatest in white clover populations adapted to multiple and severe stresses in the habitat of origin, while UV -B responsiveness was mainly linked to inherent differences in morphology and growth among the populations.

Molecular and Population Level Approaches to Understand Taxus Metabolism in Cell Suspension Cultures

TL;DR: A chronology of key events and figures leading up to and including the invention of the determinants of infectious disease and infectious disease in the United States are listed.
