What Are Preserved Flowers and Plants? the Unique Preservation Technology Involves the Following 3 Basic Steps What are preserved flowers and plants? The unique preservation technology involves the following 3 basic steps: 1 The flower/plant is harvested at the ideal point in terms of natural beauty from one of our 300.000m2 of fields. 2 The freshly harvested plant enters a proprietary process to absorb a specific mixture of 100% plant-based and bio- degradable preservation formula. >1 year use 3 The preservation liquid replaces the sap and water within the plant, effectively forming a still-image of nature, creating a unique and 100% natural product. The preserved flowers and plants remain beautiful and unchanged for months Verdissimo brand without watering, light and virtually maintenance-free. 4 The basic method of preserving flowers and plants has existed for many years, but was first patented as an industrial process by Verdissimo over 30 years ago. Through the dedicated effort by the Verdissimo team, the technology has Since its creation in 1988 in Paris, France, the Verdissimo brand optimized and upscaled to today’s efficient and large scale operation. has represented high-end preserved flowers, foliage and trees for unique and sustainable interior decoration and design.

  • The Asparagus Genome Sheds Light on the Origin and Evolution of a Young Y Chromosome
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01064-8 OPEN The asparagus genome sheds light on the origin and evolution of a young Y chromosome Alex Harkess et al.# Sex chromosomes evolved from autosomes many times across the eukaryote phylogeny. Several models have been proposed to explain this transition, some involving male and female sterility mutations linked in a region of suppressed recombination between X and 1234567890 Y (or Z/W, U/V) chromosomes. Comparative and experimental analysis of a reference genome assembly for a double haploid YY male garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) individual implicates separate but linked genes as responsible for sex determination. Dioecy has evolved recently within Asparagus and sex chromosomes are cytogenetically identical with the Y, harboring a megabase segment that is missing from the X. We show that deletion of this entire region results in a male-to-female conversion, whereas loss of a single sup- pressor of female development drives male-to-hermaphrodite conversion. A single copy anther-specific gene with a male sterile Arabidopsis knockout phenotype is also in the Y-specific region, supporting a two-gene model for sex chromosome evolution.

  • Vegetation Survey of Mount Gorongosa
    VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 Biodiversity Foundation for Africa P.O. Box FM730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Vegetation Survey of Mt Gorongosa, page 2 SUMMARY Mount Gorongosa is a large inselberg almost 700 sq. km in extent in central Mozambique. With a vertical relief of between 900 and 1400 m above the surrounding plain, the highest point is at 1863 m. The mountain consists of a Lower Zone (mainly below 1100 m altitude) containing settlements and over which the natural vegetation cover has been strongly modified by people, and an Upper Zone in which much of the natural vegetation is still well preserved. Both zones are very important to the hydrology of surrounding areas. Immediately adjacent to the mountain lies Gorongosa National Park, one of Mozambique's main conservation areas. A key issue in recent years has been whether and how to incorporate the upper parts of Mount Gorongosa above 700 m altitude into the existing National Park, which is primarily lowland. [These areas were eventually incorporated into the National Park in 2010.] In recent years the unique biodiversity and scenic beauty of Mount Gorongosa have come under severe threat from the destruction of natural vegetation. This is particularly acute as regards moist evergreen forest, the loss of which has accelerated to alarming proportions.
