This double seat on gravel is surrounded by large leaved plants — hosta, rodgersia, ligurlia, synellesis and fatsia as well as yucca, hebe,
nicotiana and gold clump Carex elata «Aurea».
Colorful combinations of foliage and flowers: Ficus elastica «Sylvie» and Pilea grandifolia «Coral» on the left; on the right, variegated Setcreasea pallida, pink Portulaca and white
Nicotiana.
For just $ 225 a month, the social - studies teacher was able to rent a place where devotees of
Nicotiana tabacum could find mid-day refuge.
Much of the western plains has alkaline soil, so consider the plants that grow natively in these regions because they are adapted to a high soil pH. Good choices include clematis, dianthus,
nicotiana, iris, lantana, cotoneater, poplar and barberry.
When paired with lime green
nicotiana in a late summer arrangement, the results emphasize petal variety and texture and demonstrate a sweet, playful charm.
A reference genome for
Nicotiana tabacum enables map - based cloning of homeologous loci implicated in nitrogen utilization efficiency
Graduate student André Velásquez from Greg Martin's lab shows how to do Virus - induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) in
Nicotiana benthamiana and Tomato.
Then, they put small sets of effector genes back in and tested each strain's ability to infect leaves of the model plant,
Nicotiana benthamiana.
Isolation and nuleotide sequence of cDNA clones for the pathogenesis - related proteins PR1a, PR1b and PRIc of
Nicotiana tabacum cv.
The Evolution of Herbivore - Regulated Secondary Metabolism During Polyploid Speciation in Native
Nicotiana
«Herbivory - Induced Volatiles Function as Defenses Increasing Fitness of the Native Plant
Nicotiana Attenuata in Nature.»
Transformation of Arabidopsis (ecotype Col - 0) and
Nicotiana tabacum (Petit Havana SR - 1) was accomplished with Agrobacterium - mediated methods.
Lin, M. T., Occhialini, A., Andralojc, P. J., Devonshire, J., Hines, K. M., Parry, M. A., and Hanson, M. R. (2014) ß - carboxysomal proteins assemble into highly organized structures in
Nicotiana chloroplasts.
The scientists filmed the visits of Manduca sexta moths in a tent experiment with
Nicotiana attenuata plants.
So the researchers reconstructed the DNA virus and introduced it to
Nicotiana benthamiana, a close relative of tobacco that's vulnerable to a diverse range of plant viruses.
By studying the responses to lyciumoside IV in
Nicotiana attenuata's other specialist and generalist herbivores, they want to shed more light into this particular plant defense and the insects» counter-adaptations.
A hawk moth (Manduca sexta) uses its eight - centimeter - long proboscis to drink nectar from a flower of
Nicotiana alata, a species of wild tobacco also called jasmine or winged tobacco.
These Nicotiana flowers differed greatly in the lengths of their corollas; in centimeters, these ranged from less than 1.5 (Nicotiana rustica), to over 3 (Nicotiana attenuata), to 7.5 (Nicotiana alata) and to more than 11 (Nicotiana longiflora).
Hungry moths showed the strongest response to the flower of
Nicotiana alata.
The tobacco plant
Nicotiana attenuata has a love - hate relationship with the hawkmoths that visit its flowers every night.
Transgenic
Nicotiana benthamiana plant (10x) Fluorescence microscopy Dr. Heiti Paves Tallinn University of Technology Tallinn, Estonia
A Manduca sexta moth visits the flowers of
Nicotiana attenuata, a wild tobacco species.
The researchers showed that floral scent is crucial for successful pollination: Manduca sexta hawk moths, the most important pollinators of the wild tobacco species
Nicotiana attenuata, use their proboscis to smell the floral volatiles when they visit flowers.
These could be alyssum, petunias,
nicotiana, stock, candytuft, sweet peas and others.
