Molecular studies on intraspecific diversity and phylogenetic position of Coniothyrium minitans
(Cambridge University Press, 2001-09)
Simple sequence repeat (SSR)–PCR amplification using a microsatellite primer (GACA)₄ and ribosomal RNA gene sequencing were used to examine the intraspecific diversity in the mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans based on 48 ...
Protoplast isolation from shoots of asparagus cultures
(The University of Chicago Press, 1997-09)
Experiments to maximize the isolation and purification of viable protoplasts from shoot cultures of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) were conducted. Important factors for high yield of viable protoplasts included: the ...
Culture and regeneration of protoplasts from shoots of asparagus cultures
(The University of Chicago Press, 1997-09)
A reliable culture and regeneration protocol has been established for asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) protoplasts isolated from shoots of in vitro plants. Studies focused on factors to maximize plating efficiency, ...
The evolution of Araliaceae : a phylogenetic analysis based on ITS sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA
(American Society of Plant Taxonomists, 2001-01)
Phylogenetic analyses of ITS sequence data from 70 species and 40 genera of Araliaceae (representing all major lineages within the "core group" of the family) do not support the widely used traditional division of Araliaceae ...
Systematic relationships of New Zealand endemic Brassicaceae inferred from nrDNA ITS sequence data
(American Society of Plant Taxonomists, 2000-01)
Phylogenetic relationships of New Zealand species of Brassicaceae belonging to the South Island endemic Ischnocarpus, Iti, Notothlaspi, and Pachycladon, and the indigenous Cardamine, Cheesemania, Lepidium, and Rorippa were ...
Examination of Trichoderma phylogenies derived from ribosomal DNA sequence data
(Cambridge University Press, 2000-01)
Ribosomal DNA sequences were assessed for their usefulness in distinguishing among Trichoderma isolates and for their robustness in resolving their phylogenetic relationships. DNA sequences from the D2 region of the 28S ...
Captive breeding of Wellington speargrass weevil
(Lincoln University. Soil, Plant & Ecological Sciences Division, 2004-06)
This project was initiated in May 1999 with the aim of determining optimum rearing conditions to breed Lyperobius huttoni in captivity. The programme has been relatively unsuccessful with only a single individual reared ...
Identification of novel genes associated with conidiation in Beauveria bassiana with suppression subtractive hybridization
(Mycological Society of America, 2008)
The conidiation of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Hyphomycete) is a complex process that involves the stage- and cell-type-specific expression of hundreds of genes. The suppression subtractive hybridization ...
Measuring ecosystem recovery: diversity and abundance of invertebrates in ten Port Hills reserves, Canterbury
(Lincoln University. Bio-Protection & Ecology Division, 2005-06)
Weta motels were used to non-destructively sample cavity-dwelling species to provide a snapshot of forest diversity and health. Another non-destructive sampling method uses wooden discs as facsimiles for natural fallen ...
Tree regeneration in a New Zealand rain forest influenced by disturbance and drainage interactions
(Opulus Press, 2005-08)
Question: Does canopy tree regeneration response to different large disturbances vary with soil drainage? Location: Old-growth conifer (Dacrydium and Dacrycarpus), angiosperm (Nothofagus and Weinmannia) rain forest, Mount ...
