Recovery of leaf area through accelerated shoot ontogeny in thrips-damaged cotton seedlings.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae) is a large genus of dioecious trees with approx. 260 species. To date, only one pollination study of the genus has reported brood-site pollination by thrips in M. hullettii. In this study, the pollination system of Macaranga tanarius is reported. METHODS:The study was cond...
