The Flora Of Citico Creek Wilderness Study Area, Cherokee National Forest, Monroe County, Tennessee, Jeffry Lowell Malter
The Flora Of Citico Creek Wilderness Study Area, Cherokee National Forest, Monroe County, Tennessee, Jeffry Lowell Malter
Masters Theses
Citico Creek Wilderness Study Area, located entirely within the Cherokee National Forest, Monroe County, Tennessee, is under consideration for inclusion in the National Wilderness System. A study of the vascular flora of this 6,716 hectare area was conducted between March, 1976 and September, 1977. A total of 536 taxa, including 259 county records, was determined. This represents approximately 23% of the state flora.
Pertinent literature on the history, climate, geology, soils, and vegetation of the area is summarized. Particular note has been made of rare plants, with seven on the Tennessee list being found. One of these, Juncus gymnocarpus Coville, …
Aquatic Plant Communities Of East-Central Illinois, Randolph Lee Vogel
Aquatic Plant Communities Of East-Central Illinois, Randolph Lee Vogel
Masters Theses
Aquatic plant communities of east-central Illinois were studied during the late summers of 1971 and 1976. Frequencies, relative frequencies and frequency of dominance were calculated for the various taxa. At the pond level, changes in the flora over the 5-year span have taken place, usually consisting of the addition or subtraction of one species. Overall, however, it was found that the aquatic community has remained relatively static, as has the percentage of ponds lacking aquatic plants. Factors influencing distributions and sterility are discussed and it was concluded that all the factors play varying roles, but no one factor or combination …
Cytological Investigations Of Eremosphaera Viridis De Bary, Richard Allen Valentino
Cytological Investigations Of Eremosphaera Viridis De Bary, Richard Allen Valentino
Masters Theses
Eremosphaera viridis de Bary was studied with light microscope techniques to determine the method of cytokinesis and to explain the ontogeny of the membranous ring separating the mature daughter cells in the intact sporangium.
It is proposed that cytokinesis in this organism is phylogenetically advanced and that the separation of mature daughter cells involves the sequential deposition of two cell walls. The first wall develops centripetally by the addition of membrane subunits. The resulting cleavage furrow is oriented by transverse microtubules found along the cell division plane. The newly formed walls separate the two daughter cells and give rise to …
