[8] Such symptoms are actually useful in the commercial production of ...
The plants are annual and perennial herbs, as well as shrubs. Flowers have bilateral ( zygomorphic ) or rarely radial ( actinomorphic ) symmetry. The Scrophulariaceae have a cosmopolitan distribution , with the majority found in temperate areas, including tropical mountains.
Photoreceptor proteins are light-sensitive proteins involved in the sensing and response to light in a variety of organisms. Some examples are rhodopsin in the photoreceptor cells of the vertebrate retina, phytochrome in plants, and bacteriorhodopsin and bacteriophytochromes in some bacteria.
The Cyperaceae (/ ˌ s aɪ p ə ˈ r eɪ s i. iː,-ˌ aɪ /) are a family of graminoid (grass-like), monocotyledonous flowering plants known as sedges.The family is large; botanists have described some 5,500 known species in about 90 genera [3] [4] – the largest being the "true sedges" (genus Carex), [5] [6] with over 2,000 species.
