    Multiple publications: The main reason for the retraction of papers in computer science

    This paper intends to review the reasons for the retraction over the last decade. The paper particularly aims at reviewing these reasons with reference to computer science field to assist authors in comprehending the style of writing. To do that, a total of thirty-six retracted papers found on the Web of Science within Jan 2007 through July 2017 are explored. Given the retraction notices which are based on ten common reasons, this paper classifies the two main categories, namely random and nonrandom retraction. Retraction due to the duplication of publications scored the highest proportion of all other reasons reviewed

    Hemigraphis neocaledonica Heine from New Caledonia is transferred to Brunoniella Bremek. (Acanthaceae)

    Evidence from macro- and micromorphology is used to clarify the taxonomic position of Hemigraphis neocaledonica Heine, which is here transferred to Brunoniella Bremek. A new combination: Brunoniella neocaledonica (Heine) Moylan is proposed. Brunoniella is a new genus record for New Caledonia. The geographic distribution of Hemigraphis remains unaffected

    Comparative floral anatomy of Strobilanthinae (Acanthaceae), with particular reference to internal partitioning of the flower

    This paper provides the first comparative survey of structural variation in inflorescence architecture and flower structure of Hemigraphis and other members of the subtribe Strobilanthinae (Acanthaceae). Several discrete structural characters are identified which may provide support for phylogenetic relationships within the group. These include (1) the presence or absence of an accessory bud, (2) the presence or absence of a hollow style, (3) the presence or absence of an abscission layer, (4) the number of stamens comprising the androecium, and (5) the pattern of filament detachment. The structure of the filament curtain, a complex structure that partitions the flower, is also investigated. A more precise term for this structure "stapetal curtain" is suggested since it is a result of close synorganisation between the filaments and corolla tube. This structure appears to have a wide distribution throughout Acanthaceae and is not confined to Ruellieae s.l., as previously described. The earlier characterisation of four discrete types of filament curtain is unsatisfactory, since many of the features used to distinguish them are continuous and not unique features of particular species. © Springer-Verlag 2004

    GLK transcription factors regulate chloroplast development in a cell-autonomous manner.

    In a number of land plants, Golden2-like (GLK) genes encode a pair of partially redundant nuclear transcription factors that are required for the expression of nuclear photosynthetic genes and for chloroplast development. As chloroplast biogenesis depends on close co-operation between the nuclear and plastid compartments, GLK gene function must be dependent on tight intracellular control. However, the extent to which GLK-mediated chloroplast development depends on intercellular communication is not known. Here we used sector analysis to show that GLK proteins operate cell-autonomously in leaf mesophyll cells. To establish whether GLK proteins are able to influence adjacent cell layers, we used tissue-specific promoters to restrict GLK gene expression to the epidermis and to the phloem. GLK genes driven by the Arabidopsis epidermal FIDDLEHEAD (FDH) and MERISTEM LAYER1 (AtML1) promoters failed to rescue the pale-green Atglk1 Atglk2 mutant phenotype, confirming the suggestion that GLK proteins can only influence chloroplast development intracellularly. An exception to this rule was seen in lines in which GLK genes were expressed in the phloem. However, we believe that the partial complementation of the mutant phenotype that was observed resulted from phloem unloading, as opposed to inherent properties of GLK proteins. We conclude that GLK proteins act in a cell-autonomous manner to coordinate and maintain the photosynthetic apparatus within individual cells. Significantly, this suggests that GLK proteins provide a means to fine-tune photosynthesis according to the differential requirements of cells within the leaf

    Taxonomic account of Hemigraphis Nees (Strobilanthinae-Acanthaceae) from the Philippines

    No full text
    A taxonomic account of Hemigraphis Nees from the Philippines is provided. A pattern-based species concept is adopted and 18 species of Hemigraphis from the Philippines are recognised. Six species have an extended distribution beyond the Philippine archipelago. Three species are archipelagic endemics and nine species are restricted island endemics. One new species, Hemigraphis zwickeyae, is described from the islands of Luzon and Mindanao
