, gen. et sp. nov. is assigned to the Lauraceae based on the regular trimerous organization of the perianth and androecium, and the valvate anthers. It provides the first detailed report of… (More)
Developmental process of structure-less exine is studied in a hydrophilous plant,Ceratophyllum demersum L., with electron microscopy. The plant shows a characteristic feature in tetrad formation. A… (More)
To understand the organic sulfur (S) stabilization in volcanic soils, we investigated organic S transformation rates and their relationships to soil properties in incubation experiments using forest… (More)
Sporopollenin can be dissolved in water by oxidative degradation with using potassium permanganate (KMnO4). in mature pollen grain ofMagnolia grandiflora andHibiscus syriacus some organic compounds… (More)
Pollen morphology of Gyrostemonaceae, Bataceae, andKoeberlinia, which have been affiliated with glucosinolate-producing taxa, was examined by field emission scanning and transmission electron… (More)
Soil respiration is a crucial carbon flux for determining carbon balance in the forest ecosystem. In Kanchanaburi, western Thailand, we measured soil respiration at different stand ages (1, 6 and 21… (More)
Exine structure and its developmental program in a submerged plant,Ottella alismoides (L.) Per. were investigated with scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Verrucate protrusions initiate… (More)
Corystosperms, a key extinct group of Late Permian to Early Cretaceous plants, are important for understanding seed plant phylogeny, including the evolution of the angiosperm carpel and anatropous… (More)
