How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

The flora at Riverdale Park was sampled during the 2021 growing season, April through October, to create an inventory of the native and nonnative vascular plant species. One hundred ninety species in 151 genera in 85 families were identified. Maples, Acer spp., and oaks, Quercus spp., were the most diverse genera in the flora with six species, whil...
Background
CYCLOIDEA (CYC)-like transcription factors pattern floral symmetry in most angiosperms. In core eudicots, two duplications led to three clades of CYC-like genes: CYC1, CYC2, and CYC3, with orthologs of the CYC2 clade restricting expression dorsally in bilaterally symmetrical flowers. Limited data from CYC3 suggest that they also play a r...
This study compares the lichen, moss, and vascular plant species found on the abandoned High Line rail line in 2002 with those found on a three-block remnant of the High Line between 30th and 33rd Streets and 12th Avenue in 2019. One hundred fifty-five species were identified in 125 genera belonging to 47 families in the 2002 study. The 2019 study...
Valerianaceae provides a model clade for examining diversification in floral shape, especially involving size, bilateral symmetry, asymmetry, and handedness. Fedia species have pink, strongly bilaterally symmetrical corollas while Valerianella species generally have white, near-radially symmetrical corollas. In this study we examine the early flora...
To achieve fine control of Physarum polycephalum-based computing devices, a diverse library of plasmodium modulators is required. In this chapter, we review our recent findings on the application of genetically transformed plant roots as a chemomodulatory platform for Physarum. Hairy roots produced by genetic transformation with Agrobacterium rhizo...
Roots of the medicinal plant Valeriana officinalis are well-studied for their various biological activities. We applied genetically transformed V. officinalis root biomass to exert control of Physarum polycephalum, an amoeba-based emergent computing substrate. The plasmodial stage of the P. polycephalum life cycle constitutes a single, multinucleat...
