DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.06620.008 The relatively high temperature range for vernalization of the N. Swedish accession was surprising given that flower buds appeared within 2 weeks of the snowmelt on native Arabidopsis at the N. Swedish Lövvik site.
In particular, given that the flower and flower bud EST library should represent genes from the male, female and vegetative (somatic) tissue, one can infer that the combined vegetative and female tissue is under less selective pressure than the microspore.
Given that Mr. Flowers focuses exclusively on the financial sector, it may surprise some even to learn he's still dancing.
But given that, in Flowers, he is playing a creative man who finds work a struggle, is the father of twins and is possibly depressed, it is hard to resist asking if he found a personal connection to the show, and I don't resist.
Given that male flowers require twice as long as female ones to mature and reach anthesis, it is likely that the delay in the maturation of bisexual flowers is associated with their masculinisation, i.e. the presence of stamens.
Given that its staminate flowers have pistillodes (vestigial carpels) and carpellate flowers have staminodes (vestigial stamens), it is assumed this plesiomorphic condition reflects evolution from an ancestor with bisexual flowers.
For most QTL, the domesticated S. italica alleles increased days to flowering, as expected given that S. italica flowered much later than S. viridis.
Wind pollination is unlikely in the species, given that the showy flowers release sticky pollen in tetrads.
Both intraspecific classifications seemed reasonable given that straightforward characters (flower color or habit) were used to distinguish intraspecific taxa, but the annual populations with red flowers were confusing owing to the disjunct distribution between the northern region and the southernmost Lancangjiang Valley.
Given that the lavender flowering season is short, cooks are left with two choices.
