Asteraceae are especially common in open and dry environments. [7] Many members of Asteraceae are pollinated by insects, which explains their value in attracting beneficial insects, but anemophily is also present (e.g. Ambrosia, Artemisia). There are many apomictic species in the family.
This is true for all members of the Asteraceae family. [8] After pollination, they mature and become gray or tan with an obovoid shape (like an egg), 1–1.8 mm long with 4–5 faint nerves, and sparsely strigillose (with a few stiff, slender bristles) or sericeous (silky-looking) on their surface.
This is true for all members of the Asteraceae family. [23] After pollination, they mature in 3–4 weeks [ 15 ] and become gray or tan with an oblong-obovoid shape, 1.3–2.2 mm (0.051–0.087 in) in length with 3–5 nerves , and with a few stiff, slender bristles on their surfaces ( strigillose ).
Maize (Zea mays, Poaceae) is the most widely cultivated C 4 plant.[1]In botany, C 4 carbon fixation is one of three known methods of photosynthesis used by plants. C 4 plants increase their photosynthetic efficiency by reducing or suppressing photorespiration, which mainly occurs under low atmospheric CO 2 concentration, high light, high temperature, drought, and salinity.
Senecioneae is the largest tribe of the Asteraceae, or the sunflower family, comprising over 150 genera and over 3,500 species. [1] Almost one-third of the species in this tribe are placed in the genus Senecio. [2]
Symphyotrichum pilosum (formerly Aster pilosus) is a perennial, herbaceous, flowering plant in the Asteraceae family native to central and eastern North America. It is commonly called hairy white oldfield aster, frost aster, white heath aster, heath aster, hairy aster, common old field aster, old field aster, awl aster, nailrod, and steelweed.
On the outside of the flower heads of all members of the family Asteraceae are small specialized leaves called "phyllaries", and together they form the involucre that protects the individual flowers in the head before they open. [a] [7] The involucres of S. falcatum are campanulate (bell-shaped) and usually 5–8 mm (1 ⁄ 4 – 3 ⁄ 8 in) long.
