non-aroid plant articles

From: Steve Marak samarak at gizmoworks.com> on 2006.05.27 at 19:42:05(14309) I ran across a couple of plant-related but non-aroid articles this week that I found interesting, and knowing the diversity of this group's interests thought I'd pass them along. The June issue of Natural History's cover article is "Origins of Floral Diversity", by Amy Litt, director of the NYBG plant genomics program. It discusses, basically, how development of flower structure from floral meristem is controlled. Trust me, it's not written at a very technical level and isn't nearly as horribly dry as that sentence sounds; if you've wondered about what might be going on in flower doubling or other floral mutations you'll love this. Unfortunately this article doesn't seem to be available online at all. A short (and less technical) article discussing work on plant nectars and the various compounds found in them is in the May 13, 2006 issue of Science News, and that can be found online and doesn't require a subscription: http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20060513/bob10.asp Steve +More -- Steve Marak -- samarak@gizmoworks.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: "Steve Lucas Exotic Rainforest" steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2006.05.27 at 20:37:03(14311) I've got a request from a lady who has been sending me emails to help find an ID for this plant. Looks like a Syngonium to me and Steve Marak but thought I'd try to give her a better ID than that if possible. This is her description: "The leaf is thin and the white part seams to dry out and turn brown. The normal leaf size is 4-6 inches, but as it grows it seems to get larger. It will grow just like the pothos, along the ground or climbing. The leaves mainly stay the same unless I put fertilizer in the pot and then the leaves will be different. If I give it only watered down fertilizer it stays the same, half white half green. It doesn't like direct light and the white will burn. " Thanks for any help.

From: Steve Marak samarak at gizmoworks.com> on 2006.05.27 at 22:45:43(14312) Hi Wilbert, Yes ... the web site is: http://www.naturalhistorymag.com/ where you can see the cover and read one of the other articles, but not that one (not even if you're a subscriber, apparently). There's a web archive which seems to have a selected article from each recent issue, so it's possible this one will appear there next month .... Some of Dr. Litt's other recent publications are listed at: http://www.colorado.edu/eeb/MORPH/labs/pubs/litt_pubs.html and several look relevant (and interesting).
