Growing Thistels from seeds
In article , Alan Gould
writes That sounds a pretty formidable task, but if such is happening I would hope that food plants and natural or wild plants are given equal attention to floral and exotic. The Cruciferae family, particularly the brassicaceae are long overdue for revision and re-classification IMHO. Extensive sequencing of individual species mostly applies to crop plants (e.g. rice, cotton), but also to thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) which is used as a model plant in the study of plant developmental biology. Beyond that there is a bias towards the wild relatives of crop plants (e.g. plenty of sequences of wild cottons), and to recently described species (presumably because the researchers have material to hand). In several groups well known ornamentals are missing from the set of species for which sequences are published (e.g. H. syriacus and H. mutabilis in Hibiscus). Take a look at EMBL/DDBJ or Genbank. PS: Cruciferae and Brassicaceae are one and the same, with Capparaceae/Capparidaceae sunk therein in recent classifications. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley http://www.meden.demon.co.uk/Malvace...directory.html |
