Mimulus Nectar Guide UV VIS
Mimulus is a plant genus in the family Phrymaceae, which was traditionally placed in family Scrophulariaceae. The genus now contains only seven species, two native to eastern North America and the other five native to Asia, Australia, Africa, or Madagascar. In the past, about 150 species were placed in this genus, most of which have since been assigned to other genera, the majority to genus ''Erythranthe''. ''Mimulus'' species prefer wet or moist areas and are not drought resistant. Several are cultivated as ornamental garden plants. The cultivar 'Highland Red' has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Name ''Mimulus'' is based on the Latin word ''mimus'' ('mimic', especially in the context of acting). This may have to do with the flowers seeming to have grinning faces resembling those of monkeys. Taxonomy Before the 2012 restructuring, two large groups of species had long been recognized in the genus ''Mimulus'' as it was traditionally define ...

Mimulus Ringens
''Mimulus ringens'' is a species of monkeyflower known by the common names Allegheny monkeyflower and square-stemmed monkeyflower. It is native to eastern and central North America and has been introduced to the Pacific Northwest. It grows in a wide variety of moist to wet habitat types. Seeds are available from commercial suppliers. This is a rhizomatous perennial growing to well over tall, its 4-angled stem usually erect. The oppositely arranged leaves are lance-shaped to oblong, up to long, usually clasping the stem. The sessile leaves of ''M. ringens'' help to distinguish it from its eastern relative, '' Mimulus alatus'', which bears leaves on petioles and has a winged stem. The herbage is hairless. The flower is long, its tubular base encapsulated in a ribbed calyx of sepals with pointed lobes. The flower is lavender, blue, red or pink in color and is divided into an upper lip and a larger, swollen lower lip. One variety of this plant, var. ''colophilus'', is rare, ec ...

Diplacus
''Diplacus'' is a plant genus in the family Phrymaceae, which was traditionally placed in family Scrophulariaceae. In the 2012 restructuring of ''Mimulus'' by Barker, ''et al''., based largely upon DNA evidence, seven species were left in ''Mimulus'', 111 placed into ''Erythranthe'' (species with axile placentation and long pedicels), 46 placed into ''Diplacus'' (species with parietal placentation and sessile flowers), two placed in ''Uvedalia'', and one each placed in ''Elacholoma'', ''Mimetanthe'', and '' Thyridia''. ''Diplacus'' used to be a separate genus from ''Mimulus'', but it was merged into ''Mimulus'' no later than 1905, until the 2012 restructuring. Dry and rocky areas are preferred. Species Species include: * '' Diplacus angustatus'' (A.Gray) G.L.Nesom * '' Diplacus aridus'' Abrams * ''Diplacus aurantiacus'' (Curtis) Jeps. * '' Diplacus × australis'' (McMinn ex Munz) Tulig * '' Diplacus bigelovii'' (A.Gray) G.L.Nesom * '' Diplacus bolanderi'' (A.Gray) G.L.Nesom * '' D ...

Phryma
''Phryma'' is a genus of flowering plant in the family Phrymaceae, native to temperate Asia and eastern North America. Taxonomy The genus ''Phryma'' was erected by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 with the sole species ''Phryma leptostachya''. The Japanese botanist Gen-ichi Koidzumi proposed separating Asian populations, into ''Phryma oblongifolia'' in 1929 and further into ''Phryma nana'' in 1939. However, these species were generally not accepted, and populations in Asia and North America were usually treated as the single species ''Phryma leptostachya'', being distinguished only at the rank of subspecies and variety. In 2014, it was again proposed to separate Asian and North American populations into full species, ''P. oblongifolia'' and ''P. leptostachya'' respectively. In 2016, Japanese populations were again separated into ''P. oblongifolia'' and ''P. nana''. All three species are accepted by Plants of the World Online, , although other sources may continue to use ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Recombinant DNA
Recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) that bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome. Recombinant DNA is the general name for a piece of DNA that has been created by combining at least two fragments from two different sources. Recombinant DNA is possible because DNA molecules from all organisms share the same chemical structure, and differ only in the nucleotide sequence within that identical overall structure. Recombinant DNA molecules are sometimes called chimeric DNA, because they can be made of material from two different species, like the mythical chimera. R-DNA technology uses palindromic sequences and leads to the production of sticky and blunt ends. The DNA sequences used in the construction of recombinant DNA molecules can originate from any species. For example, plant DNA may be joined to bacter ...

Chloroplast
A chloroplast () is a type of membrane-bound organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant and algal cells. The photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight, converts it, and stores it in the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water in the cells. The ATP and NADPH is then used to make organic molecules from carbon dioxide in a process known as the Calvin cycle. Chloroplasts carry out a number of other functions, including fatty acid synthesis, amino acid synthesis, and the immune response in plants. The number of chloroplasts per cell varies from one, in unicellular algae, up to 100 in plants like ''Arabidopsis'' and wheat. A chloroplast is characterized by its two membranes and a high concentration of chlorophyll. Other plastid types, such as the leucoplast and the chromoplast, contain little chlorophyll and do not carry out photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are highly dynamic—they circulat ...

Thyridia Repens
''Thyridia repens'', with common names creeping monkeyflower, Native musk, Maori musk, and native monkey flower, is a herbaceous succulent plant native to New Zealand and Australia that grows as low mats. Its flowers are light purple or white. It is the only species in the genus ''Thyridia''. Taxonomy ''Thyridia'' is one of several genera that have been separated from an earlier concept of ''Mimulus Mimulus is a plant genus in the family Phrymaceae, which was traditionally placed in family Scrophulariaceae.
